" Beautiful future!" " You are complaining?" "Of course!" "I spend my life between home and tailoring!" " Tell Cesira to live here and do everything." " It's not possible!" " Why?" " Because of promiscuity." " How come?" " Once she was a colonel's maid." "But she had to give up because his wife looked down at her." "Probably the Colonel made her advances." " No!" " Why, is she ugly?" " No, she's prissy." "She calls the people she works for "employers"." "Surely it's center left." " No, it's from Naples or nearby." "As usual, your mother didn't understand anything." " Who is it?" " It's not the doorbell." "Cesira informs us that the second is ready." "Great!" "Instead of calling her, she calls us!"

" For her this is the make up hour..." "How can you live with these individuals, in a barrack?" "They are tolerable enough." "Let's go!" "Remind me to tell you something." "Write home to send you tortellini, tagliatelle, a little of everything." "Don't worry, I'll do it." "It's late, I go with Angela to the movie." "Howdy!" "I also have a meeting with a girl." "I hope she will come, I like her a lot." "See you soon." "Everybody leaves." "I wanted to take the Venetian hunting but he didn't want." "You also are a hunter?" "At my home you can find marvellous places from rogs, pheasants, rabbits..." " What do you like?" ""Part time service"" "Service women, maidens, housekeepers sleeping at home..."

"The serious girls don't walk alone on the streets at this hour." "She is not alone and she didn't say she was walking on the street." "Then where did she go?" "With who?" " At cinema, with Angela." "This is the point." "I don't agree that she leaves with Angela, because I don't like her!" "You are wrong, she is more serious than others." "Nobody denies it." "I take a bow in front of her, but I just want to leave my daughter alone." "Don't look at me that way." "I know what I'm saying." "Angela has an obsession for the soldiers." "Do not look that way." "I know the soldiers well." "They promise a lot of things to the girls." "That they marry them, that they would sacrifice themselves..." "And, at the end they leave them."

"For me, you are the fairy of the Pinocchio story." "Really?" "Take care, Pinocchio's nose grows while he is lying." "It means that mine will not grow." "Why?" "When I came here, I felt lost in a city so big and unknown." "But since I have seen the most beautiful places and after walking on the shore," "I feel like I have been here for a lifetime and I always known a girl named Carla." "Do not you think it's too early to tell me that you've fall in love with me?" "No, but it sounds trivial." "That's why for me it's enough to tell you... that I feel for you..." "I feel.." "What's his name?" "Let her eat, poor child." "The poor child must tell me the name and surname of the soldier with whom she walked by this time of the night." " Evening." " After 8 it's night!" "Tell me what his name." "I don't know, dad." "You don't know?" "!" "Marshall Todisco's daughter, walks at night in Napoli with an unknown!" "Exaggerated!"

"Do you like Kim Novak?" "No, I was expecting someone to enter, I didn't want to be the first." "How do you know that you are not the last one?" "Did you stay here all afternoon?" " No, I did a walk." " Around the barracks!" "If we don't get in, we shall be the last ones." "Can I take a chunk?" "Are you crazy?" "I will remain with nothing," "I have to share it with someone." " Who?" " With the tapeworm." " Just a little bit..." " I can't." "Bye, little brother!" "Be a brave warrior." "Don't worry, I'm great." "I'll see you tomorrow, at five." "Sometimes I'd like to tell you that I love you." "Aren't these words too important for a sympathy?" "You are much more than sympathetic to me." "If we were alone, would you let me kiss you?" " What do you say?" " That you would." "Why are you so sure?" "Love and red nose can not be hidden." "It could be a song title." ""Love and red nose"" " Look how beautiful is the sea!" " You are much more beautiful." "We are alone, may I find the answer?" "Now you have the rose nose." "Carla..." " It's late, Gianni." " Another minute!" "We need to take two buses to get home." "First I want "to take"a kiss." "Let's see this movie,seems a good one." "Have you seen the clock?" "It's not that late." "We are going to have fun." "Do you want to return to the carousel?" "I can't get late, father would upset again." "Then let's not make the platoon get upset!" "Who's this Fantomas, dressed in soldier uniform?" "I'm not telling you because you're going to confine him." "He will not leave the arrest until you forget of this whim." " It's not a whim, I like him." " What's his name?" "Let her it eat, the food gets cold." "Do you hear her?" "Our daughter is in love with an unknown one and you think about food?" "Sit down and eat." "Do not worry, if I can not put my hand on him, I close you at home." " I'm no longer a girl!" " Don't reply to me!" "He's a good boy!" "I know them." "They all are good at the beginning!" "He's different." "An artist..." "You said "an artist"?" "I find him tomorrow this mysterious individual." "Here's my girlfriend." "Do you honor me?" " Stay in the air?" "We have a ten minute break." "15 minutes." "Go away!" "You stay." "I want to see the sheet you show them!" "With pleasure, marshall." "It's my girlfriend's portrait." "Is this your girlfriend?" " You are an artist." " Thanks for the compliment." "And because you helped me know her." "If you didn't send me to tailoring..." " Yes, I sent you..." " You really..." "Do you know where I'm sending you now?" "In custody, you are confined." " Why?" " I know it why." " You are called to the office." " I'll be there in a moment." " Finally!" " Excuse me." " Why are you so late?" " I could not come faster." "Let's go, the boat is leaving." "It's really a great view!" "It's easier to compose a beautiful song here." "At home, the only panorama I have is the vegetable garden and the hen house." "and an old tree which is ashamed of being called "lemon tree"." "You have a special way to tell." "I'm trying not to use the usual words." "Like in my songs." "As did the neapoletan poets." "How do you know?" "I know well almost all the famous neapoletan songs." "I don't believe you." "On the seashore, we made love..." "Heart to heart, only us two," "I'm a sailor, the sails high on the mast." "Blessed with happiness with you at sea!" "But another sun that's brighter still it's my own sun that's upon your face" "The sun, my own sun, it's upon your face!" "it's upon my face!" "How late it is, dad will be very angry!" "This marshall Todisco..." " He is so easily annoyed?" " He loves me." "I love you too, but I never get angry." " My beautiful..." " Run!" "Sergeant!" "I can't scare myself this way!" " Why do I run?" " The horn sounded." " What a practical person!" " No, I have to go prepare the dinner." "By the way, you care about your Nando?" "Yes." "You work a lot, do not you?" "But at least do you eat well there?" "Be serious, they waste a lot of food." "Don't let them do it!" "Before you go out, you "invert" something." "What does it mean to "invert"?" "Before you go out, you put under your clothes some ham, some cheese..." "And then you bring all of your Nando to you." "I never did that!" "I work part time, not steal part time." "Who says you steal?" "You do a charity work." "You feed a soldier who is dying of hunger!" " Do you love me?" " Yes." " Say once more." " Yes!" "Then steal!" "The trumpet!" "Come here, Carla." "Do you know what time it is?" "I know, Dad." " Do not you eat?" " I'm not hungry." "Miss is satiated with love!" "No, I took dinner with him." "You don't fool me because I confined your artist!" "It's impossible!" "How come?" "Has he fled from the barracks?" "If he did something like that, I'll give him a bad beating!" "And afterward, I send him to prison!" "I show him if he does not respect me." "And as true as my name is Todisco, I send him directly to the "land of olives"!" " Where?" " On a deserted island!" "Why?" "I saw him when he came to tailoring." "I'm sure the girl chose well." "He's a nice guy." "Here's what's good guy!" "Look what your artist does!" "Here's how our sick mind sees our daughter!" "An eye here, an eye on the desk!" " That's not me." " But who?" "Your mother?" "I think it's Angela." "Your Employee?" "And who draw this?" "The soldier who is courting her." "Why did you tell me your soldier is an artist?" "I confined an innocent!" "Because he's a singer." "Is it a singer?" "Sing with the voice?" "Sing with the band?" "We are in full concert, right?" "I'm sorry the sergeant permits something like that." " I'm pleased, marshall... - Then bring some coffee." "Where are we going to arrive?" "You sing, so..." "Do you like to sing?" "Very much." "Without music..." "Then you are confined!" "What did I do?" "I know what!" " Did I sing out of tune?" " Don't be ironical!" "And download!" " Why did you confine him?" " It regards me!" " Yes, marshall." " Damn it, he has an obsession!" " Addora!" " Order!" " At easy." "Where you go?" " Nowhere." "I want to buy you a drink" "Thank you." "With pleasure." " What did you read?" " Comics." "Read comics?" "I will bring you a Mickey Mouse!" " What do you want?" " What you want." "Then two coffees!" "I like you." "I'm not eating you, you know." " What have you got?" " "Tickle."As my mother." " Here?" " It tickles me." "I'm sorry." "But why are you always alone?" "You read comics!" "You are a soldier!" "Leave, have fun..." "I don't know where to go." "I do not know anyone, I haven't got a "Tosa" (lover)..." " "Tosa" is the tickling?" ".." " No, "tosa" is the lover." "I understood "tosse"(caugh)!" "So you have no girlfriend?" " Then you come out with me tonight." " Thank you, mr marshall!" "I will introduce a girl who also doesn't know anyone." "I like you much." "Don't make me officially admonish you." " You have to stop these stupid things!" "What do you mean, Enzo?" "You show all your cars.." "What is this, an auto show?" "You leave with Playmoon, You return with Mercedes.." "The next day comes the Jaguar..." " Today I asked for the Ferrari..." "Tonight you will walk, like everyone else!" "It's an order!" " Where do you run like this?" " There was an alarm!" " What alarm?" " Tactical exercise!" "What a nice shot you gave Sunday at the match!" "Bravo!" "No, sir." "I understand." "The journalists mistaken you." "Not them, you." "Are not you Gianni Rivera, the midfielder?" "No, I'm Gianni Triamonti, the soldier." "1st Battalion, 2nd Company, 3 rd Artillery Pluton." "Very good!" "Continue!" "Run!" "Thank you, lady." "Goodbye, girls!" "Care Angela, the Sicilians are jealous!" "Goodbye!" "Angela!" "I wanted to tell you..." " Carla..." "Do not insist, tonight I'm going home." "I can not stay away from you until tomorrow!" " Slow down!" " I don't care if they hear me!" "I wrote to them that I knew a girl whom I shall marry." "I'm happy that you say that." "But tonight I want to stay with my dad, to watch TV." " But I love you!" " And my father loves me." "Dad comes." " And now what do we do?" " I can ask for your hand." "To send you in prison!" "He can't wait to send you in prison!" "Good evening." "Who adjusted his uniform to this young man?" "Lucia." "Please look once more at this uniform, has some flaws." "And be careful, the young man is a good boy." "Venetian." "Have you ever been to Venice?" "Never." "But I would like to." "Would you like to?" "Okay, take care of him." "Take care because he suffers from tickling." " I forgot!" " So you knew!" "Damn it!" " Here you were, Carla?" " I said hello to you earlier." "Excuse me, I did not see you." "Tonight you don't go out?" "No, I'm sitting with you, watching TV." "Why to ruin your evening?" "Go to the movie, go for a walk..." "Alone is not funny." "That's it." "She is alone, because he's confined!" "This time, I confined the right man!" " Marshall!" "A moment!" " Hurry up." " It's important." " Quickly, the Colonel called me." "Tell me, why did you report Tazza?" "It doesn't concern you, sergeant!" "I am busy!" "But that one sings very well!" "This man is a mystery..." " Get in." " Order!" "Do you know there is a regulation that forbids the transformation of uniforms?" "Yes, Colonel." "And you know how the uniforms get here?" "By train." "Sometimes by the coach." "And how does them leave us?" "With soldiers in them." "Stop making stupid jokes!" "Yes, colonel" "This unit seems parading!" "Soldiers look like commanders!" "Any uniform looks like at exhibition!" "I do not understand what connection I have..." "Don't you deal with the division of uniforms?" "Yes, and I try to adapt the uniforms to the soldiers' measures." " Sometimes we get some "rags"..." " "Rags"?" "Uniforms." "Too large, too small, too long, too tight." " I do what I can, but it's not easy." " Bravo!" "I admit that we have received congratulations for the appearance of our troops!" "Thank you." "So, you praise me!" "Next time, when you praise me, smile a little!" " Why?" "Was you afraid?" " No, but you looked crusty..." "You are born crusty, but you may become Colonel!" "Unfortunately, I was born marshall and so I die!" " You can go." " At orders, mr colonel!" "The showers here are completely different from mine at home." "Even if you always speak of your wealth, I like you." "What are you doing dressing up, Addora?" "Quickly, take the shower!" "What are you doing?" "I take the shower twice a day." "And you'll do the third time!" "Immediately!" " At least it's hot water?" " Hot!" "And you, fast!" "It remains this way!" "Those preselected must enter in room B at 8." " I've passed it all." " Conti, Fabretti, Lombardelli..." "Forgive me, marshall, you have to wait a little longer." "Again, mister Tortora?" "I wait since I was a sergeant!" "Next time, you'll sing." "I promise you!" " Promise?" " Yes!" " Thank you." "Have you been in army?" " Sure." "In the navy." "The sailors don't keep the promisses." "Please do me this favor." "Mom, why did you make me so beautiful?" "I am the most..." "Bastard!" "Damn it!" " Do you feel bad?" " I have nothing." " Do you have soap?" " Yes." " It's about time!" " Sure." "The sergeant is calling you!" "What sergeant?" "It's not here!" " You eat even here?" " Mind your own business!" " Leave the apple!" " I wanted to wash it for you!" "Cigarettes!" "Cream!" "Sponge!" "Brush!" "Thank you." " Sing, bolognese!" " Okay, I sing!" "If you come one Sunday with me, I come with the Fiat of my father," "My heart will beat like crazy, do you know why?" "I'll take you..." " With friends." " No!" " To dance." " No!" "Then on the beach." "Only to kiss each other on the seashore!" "Tell your parents that Elvira comes with us." "They allow you to go with her, not with me!" "But then we shall leave her somewhere else, because I shall take you ..." "With friends." " No!" " To dance." " No!" "Then on the beach." "Only to kiss each other by the seashore!" " Who was singing at the show?" " Not me, he!" " What's your name?" " Gianni Traimonti." "Bravo, little soldier!" "You will sing in the Sunday show." " Do I really play on the radio?" " Sure." "I can't believe it!" "Come Sunday at the concert hall." "Marshall knows everything." " I'll play on the radio!" " Tastes are not discussed." "I'm honoring you, boys!" "Do you come home, marshall?" " I don't drink." "The marshall is teetotaler." "What an antipathic person!" " So you're listening to me tomorrow, okay?" " On the honor of Enzo Tortore." "As if you said "Garibaldi's word"." "I did not mean to offend you." "Tomorrow, boys!" "Finally, I succeded!" " Traimonti!" " Order!" "Let me congratulate you!" "You are a true artist of belcanto!" " If I say so, it means that it is true!" " Thank you." "Now you go to tell your fiancee, right?" " You have a fiance?" " Yes, but tonight I do not leave the barrbacks." "I have to write to them to listen to the Sunday radio." "Don't want to send a telegram?" "No, the express letter arrives the day after." "But you have to go out to put it on the post, right?" "I ask Ciccio, tonight he has the leave." "So you are voluntary confined." "Okay, go and write the letter." " Ciccio Marleta!" " Order!" " Have you argued with the barber?" " No." "Then?" "What the hell are these?" "I'm an artist." "Artist!" "A wall painter!" "That's what you are!" "Go and cut your hair, or else I shall order to be shaved!" "You understand?" "Marshall, may I..." "What manners are these?" "I wanted to honor you." " Thank you." "What do you want?" " A cognac." " At this hour?" "Doesn't harm yourself?" " No." "Is not mineral water better?" "My cognac does not hurt me." "A cognac for me and a mineral water for the sergeant." " May I stay?" " No, you must leave too." "Close the door and do not let anyone in." "Imagine a variety theater." "The comic appears, dressed in a soldier." "A soldier which thinks at other things but not at being soldier and who is obsessed by his girl's goodwill." "What?" "The girl's goodwill." "Because he left his girlfriend in Naples." "It show you the transformation immediately." " Are there anycensurable passages?" " No, stay calm." "I was singing this 25 years ago in the army." "Now the trumpet play..." "Let's imagine the orchestra accompanying the comic." "They made me a soldier, soldier soldier," "but who sent me here?" "If you are not next to me, how do I go to the target well?" "Whatever I would do, even if I'm sleeping, I think only of you!" "Good girl, good day, how to stay without you?" "I'm sitting and lying, crying and lying, without you I feel dying!" "This night, baby,I dreamed of you, in your arms I was gathering you!" "But I woke up and it was not you, next to me, I was at the regiment." "I suffer, suffer, suffer!" "In my mind you are only you!" "Good girl, good day, how to stay without you?" "I'm sitting and lying, crying and lying, without you I feel dying!" "Good girl, good day, how to stay without you?" "And when we call for maneuvers, with guns and pistols," "I'm still thinking about you!" "When will this song play, all soldiers will be crazy!" " Bravo, you were a revelation!" " Honestly?" "I admit, I underestimated you!" "That's why you didn't let me sing!" "But I admit my guilt." "Next Sunday you will sing." "On the sailor's word?" "No, on the word of Tortora.Thank you." "Miss." "Beatrice." "This guy is asking too much." " Who is it?" " That antipathic lungan." "Hello, Gianmaria." "Tomorrow night?" "Nothing special." "A small party, to celebrate the departure of the old ones." "They will stay two months at Baden-Baden." "So we can do whatever we want." "Music?" "It will be as much as you want." "It's a phenomenal sextet "Meteors"" "But I did not find any singer." "Okay." "Tomorrow." "I'm waiting for you." " Do you want something, miss?" " No, thanks." "Tomirrow night I'll bring you a very talented singer." " What's his name?" "We are colleagues in the barracks." "Sunday will sing on the radio." "He will make a career, I assure you." "Is it handsome?" "To tell the truth is the type of man that awakens your maternal sentiment." "And your "pray"?" "Nothing interesting, the usual adventure." " The guests are scared." " You are a devil." "I was so frightened!" " Giorgio!" " Dance, sister!" "It's your turn, Gianni." " Excuse me." " Nothing." "Courage!" "I'm not worthy of you, I don't deserve you anymore." "But there is no man in the world who hadn't been wrong once." "Well, I'm leaving you." "But when at night you will remain alone, remember somebody that loved you." "The mountains of stone can born a flower!" "This evening in me is born the love for you!" "Well, I'm leaving you." "But there is no man in the world who hadn't been wrong once, love." "The mountains of stone can born a flower!" "This evening in me is born the love for you!" "I'm not worthy of you, I don't deserve you anymore." "But when at night you will remain alone, remember somebody that loved you." "Bravo!" "You were the party's surprise." " Do you like it here?" " Very much." " You look well in this costume." " Giorgio gave it to me!" "I don't know how to thank you." "We didn't have the singer." "I didn't think that Georgio..." "Let's not talk about the big brother, please." "I know him very well." "We better talk about you, I want to find out everything." "Where do you live, what are you doing..." "And what do you think for the future." "I don't know, for now I am in the army." "Shut up, I love darkness and peace!" "Bravo, boys!" "Bravo, Bologna!" "Hello, Rome!" "And now, Gianni Triamonti, we will hear from you, for sure will play a wonderful song, composed by him, at the first audition." "Goodbye!" "You can earn a five-day leave." "I closed the windows..." "And I am crying, away from your world, away from you." "I suffer because of you, because I love you!" "The memories, the nights, the days remain," "I think only of you!" "On the windowsill, a rose bloomed, certainly not for me!" "I shut the windows and I am crying!" "This boy has a good voice," "I am sure he will have a brilliant future!" "With modesty I say that I am a person who knows that well." " Thank you, Dad!" " For what?" "Did you think I didn't realize?" "Marshall Todisco observes everything." "If he's a good boy and you're really happy, we also are, aren't we?" "Of course, Antonio." " Maybe he was right." " My nephew is singing!" " My son." " But especially my nephew!" "I grew up and I understood his vocation." "What vocation?" "He is not a priest." " It's all a vocation." " Nonsense!" " I was supposed to say that!" " It's me!" "Applause!" "If we keep it like that, we're beating." "Like when you knock eggs." "The audience voted unanimously for Gianni Triamonti." "He earned the five-day leave prepared on the Colonel's office." " Five days with my nephew!" " Five days with my singer son!" " My nephew!" " Lies!" " I say "lies"!" "Ok,this evening we say it together!" " In your honor!" " That's my glass!" "Before we finish the transmission," "We give the microphone to the winner, who wants to greet his loved ones." "Father, Uncle!" "I'm glad I won, I'll stay five days with you!" "I'll see you soon, Hello, Carla!" "Hello,star!" "Did you hear me on the radio?" "You were wonderful!" " When do you go?" " Tonight, I can hardly wait." "A good boy needs to visit his parents." "My own are abroad and how, I am an ungrateful daughter," "I leave alone on a boat to an island that my dad has given to me." "Five days of love with the nature." "I love it!" "I love the air, the sun, the light..." "It's good to leave the world for 5 days, to stop between heaven and sea." "Come in." "You drive it." "Come on!" "I don't sing anymore!" "Come here, don't be afraid, I don't confine you!" "Do you know something about Traimonti?" "I have not seen him since he got the permission, maybe he went home." "Four days to Bologna?" "His relatives are worried, they called in the morning." "Wait a little,I'll ask the Sicilian." "Do you know where Gianni left?" "At home, I think." "Did you see him after the show?" "He took leave from the barracks and left quickly without saying anything." "I understand, thank you." "The marshall is very worried." "Of course, Gianni didn't arrive in Bologna." "If a misfortune happened?" "The marshall wanted to confine you?" "Asks about Gianni, he didn't arrive in Bologna." " So can we sing?" " Sure." "The marshall is very worried, the colonel has left him." "Only now, after four days you tell me he's gone with Beatrice?" "What do I tell to his relatives?" "The soldier Triamonti left with the daughter of a friend of mine, in a five-day vacation?" "You know how Beatrice is!" "I need to know all about the soldiers, to count them for their families!" "No sense to get angry, Enzo!" "Enough telling me Enzo!" "Stand up!" "Righteous!" "From now on, am I the colonel for you, understand?" "Yes, sir!" "No!" "It's impossible!" "Damn the day when the "hominy eater" arrived in Naples!" "Instead of losing my time singing, I confine for the rest of the army!" "It's late, we must decide to go!" "My boat is not a rocket and you have to be in Naples in the morning." "I didn't think that five days it would pass so fast." "You made me forget about everybody and everything." "I did not even write to mine." "I think they are so worried." "For me the permission is over,also, tomorrow I will return you to the world." "But for a few hours, you are still mine." " A wonder!" " Is the island or siren?" "What island, what siren?" "The girl!" " Did you eat well?" " Everything." "I don't think I saw a better place!" "Traimonti!" "Leave!" "Can I know where you were hiding five days?" "It was a permission, I do not think that I have to give you an account." "You could tell yours that you were not going to go home!" "You're right!" "I could confine you!" "Do you know why I don't do it?" "Because you have to reassure your loved ones." "Everybody, you understand?" "At break you go straight to the phone, you understand?" "Yes, sir." "I'd like to talk to Miss Beatrice." "Gianni Traimonti speaking." "Is not she at home?" "She returned this morning." "Okay, I'll call her later." " Are you Carla?" " Gianni, you finally come back!" "I'm fine.Now I'll call home." "Then I want to see you." "I want to see you too, you have to tell me what you did these days." "We shall meet tonight." "What happened?" "He seemed so strange." "He could not find his words." "Maybe he did not know what to say." "He wants to tell me something important." "Good day." "Miss Beatrice is at home?" "No, it's out." "I don't know when she comes back." "How do you want to explain it to you?" "Do you want to sing like you?" "Miss has gone to drink a cup of coffee." "Who knows where it is?" "But it's not at home!" "Did you understand?" "Is not at home!" "Do you understand?" "I still care about you." "But for her I feel something else." "I don't know how to explain." "I spent five days with Beatrice." "We were absolutely alone, do you understand?" "I can not leave her, I have to do something." "Answer me!" "Do you understand me?" "Yes, I understand you, but..." "Don't stand up." "I hope you've been traveling well." "It was terrible, I had death in my soul." "I myself, a weight on my stomach." "I know what you felt." "No, the weight it was because of the suitcase." "I kept it in my arms, because of the train that was full like the eggs of my hens, the best in Italy." "Did you see the old man on the poster?" "He's our uncle, Gaetano." "Do you know how much money has been received for the poster?" "50,000 pounds." "That's right, but now when he goes through the village, they all are making fun of him." "Only he knows what a bad thing he thinks he has advertised eggs!" "The important thing is that the boy returned well." "I can not wait to embrace him." "Me, too." "After that, no doubt I slap him twice." "I slap him twice!" "Be calm!" "Don't interfere with your brother, sometimes the beating is good." "That's a father who understands." "I understand too, even I am his uncle." "I admit that he exagerrated." "I wonder where he was?" "On radio he said he came home." "He wanted to present us his girlfriend." "That Carla." ""That Carla" is my daughter." " No!" " Yes!" "My son,son-in-law of an Italian maresal?" "I'm not the marshall of Italy and your son will never become my son-in-law." " Why, what did he do?" " Nothing, fortunately." "He didn't do anything to my daughter, but to another woman with whom he was on leave." "With her happended the "Papocchia"(trick)!" "Who is she, my son's girlfriend?" " Who?" " Miss." "Papocchia." " Papocchia is neither lady nor gentleman." " The poor one!" "Scuse me, you can't understand, between Bologna and Naples the distance by train is too long." "You can't understand nor its meaning, nor the importance of the word "Papocchia"." "I think I understand." "How?" "You have not been by train before." "I'm his uncle guesses, realizes..." "Did something serious happen to this girl?" "Something irreparable?" "Something irreparable, but it can be repaired." "Did you understand now, Mr. Traimonti?" "I understand, it's the same as if you fail and then you pass the exam." "But I didn't understand the story of "Papocchia"." "How can I explain you?" "In Naples.." "Your son will explain you, he comes right away." "Goodbye." "Goodbye, marshall." "Daddy!" "Uncle!" "How are you doing, singer?" "You look well!" "Come here, nice little soldier!" "What are you doing?" "I maintained the promise!" "I embraced him for the joy, because I saw him again." "The slaps were because he didn't come to see his dad." "Is it true what the marshall said about you and that woman?" "Yes, Uncle Lele." "I spent five days together." " Five days together?" "!" " Only two of us." "Understand?" "That's what the marshall wanted to say!" "Now I don't know what to do." "Do you love that woman?" "Yes, I don't know..." "Do you love the marshall's daughter?" "Yes." "Now I don't know anything..." "I need some advice from you." "A true man can do one thing when he compromises a girl." "Marry her!" "I know, that's why I called her every day." "But she doesn't want to meet me." "Maybe she's ashamed because of the "Papocchia"." "Poor one, she is ashamed." "She doesn't know if you're a serious boy or a scoundrel." "Then what should I do?" "If you can not talk to her, ask her father to marry her." " His father is not at home." " Then ask her mother." "She is not at home, her parents will return in two months." "You need to talk to the closest relative..." "Two months means a lot." "Yes, because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and with the "Papocchio" may appear also the "marmocchio"(baby)" "What a good joke!" "Eat the apple." "Come here!" " Hello everyone!" " Who?" "We're only me and Gianni." "I see you have some appetite." " Do you want?" " No, I ate with my fiance." "What a sausage!" "Lucky you because you ate." "As if you never eat." " What a festin!" "Can I serve?" " No!" "I don't give you!" "Potato mash remains in my throat!" "Take this!" "Good evening, boys." "What's that, a party?" "I need to talk with you, Giorgio." " About what?" " About Beatrice." "What did she do, that crazy one?" "She's been with me on the island for five days." "And what about this?" "I'm a gentleman, I'm going to..." " I do not understand." " I want to marry her." "Do you want to marry her because you stayed five days on the island?" "Yes, it's my duty." "Why are you laughing?" "It's funny?" "If she married everytime when she had an affair, she would marry a whole month!" "Help!" "Stand up!" "Leave them alone, they'll both get under arrest." "How unlucky I am!" "You are very lucky, if Georgio told the truth." "Stop it!" " What did Giorgio tell you?" "We are curious to know." "It seems that the holy Beatrice was asked in marriage." " What an idiot you are!" " What's his name?" "You are the luckiest one!" "Please stop it, it's a ridiculous thing!" "Tell us!" "That country singer wanted to marry me!" "Giorgio is to blame, he trusts too much certain people." "Let's change the subject." "Whose turn is next?" " Yours." "Again?" " Where is the ball?" " Here." "Thank you." "I thank you." "For all!" "Faster, I'm in a hurry!" "Carla!" " I need to talk to you." " Talk." " Between four eyes." " Talk, I have no secrets." "Gualtiero is my fiance." " So, will you marry me?" " Sure, honey." "Run, the horn sounds second time!" "Bye, Angela!" "We're getting married!" "Did you hear?" "I'm getting married!" "Who cares?" "Nando!" "Leave, I'm on guard." "I must tell you something!" "Are you mad?" "What is it?" "I brought you food." "Leave it on the ground and leave." " Come here, let me tell you something." " Do not you see I'm doing my guard?" "Don't you understand, are you idiot?" "I can not shout that they fired me, they caught me stealing food." " You left my food there?" " Yes." "Then leave!" "Commander!" "This time I eat stew!" " Stay on the spot." "What do you want?" "Mistress caught me stealing." "Leave the food and leave, I can't help you with anything." " What have you brought?" " Sausages." "Leave it here and run away!" "Stay there!" "What do you want?" "It happened a misfortune." "Have they caught you, too?" "I can't do anything, move around!" "What happened?" " Because of you, I lost my job." " I've lost a luncheon." "Do you all work at the Colonel...?" "Leave the food and leave!" "I can't do anything!" "Go away!" "Don't forget that Dad must arrive at 8 o'clock for the rehearsal at RAI." "At 7.30 I will be here waiting for him." "Good night." "Mr Gualtiero, a moment." "What happened?" "Even though I was nasty, don't illude yourself." "I still love Carla." "I'm sure she did not even forget me." "So what?" "Dissapear!" "If not, you will have to deal with me!" " Do you believe in movies?" " It's nothing funny!" "But why?" "Relax, young man." "I can't and I don't want to forget Carla, because of the simple fact that she is my cousin." "My mother is the marshall's sister." "Carla said that..." "She said that because of her pride, for revenge!" " Do you come with us, Gianni?" " I'm not coming out tonight, boys." "Then I greet you!" "I'll give you..." "I want your kisses for me..." "I want to have your caresses..." "I want to have your caresses..." "Your father is next." "Be at high, you complete the transmission." "I'll show them!" "I waited so much!" " Good luck!" " I'll show them!" "Today there are many competitors who could win the prize." "But behind the scenes awaits a strong candidate who may beat them all." "Where are you going?" "I am the soldier Gianni Traimonti." "Many of you have listened to me on this transmission." "Today I will play another song composed by me." "Finally,this evening I found the right words, because my heart dictated me." "I dedicate this song to my Carla." "I want your carresses for me," "Yes, I love you more than my life!" "On my knees I will come back to you." "The other one means nothing to me." "Now I know I hurt you, on my knees I will come back to you!" "and I'll kiss your hands, my love." "In your eyes who cried because of me," "I will seek your forgiveness and I'll kiss your hands, my love!" "I want your caresses for me!" "Yes, I love you more than my life!" "I will seek your forgiveness and I'll kiss your hands, my love!" "On my knees I will come back to you." "The other one means nothing to me." "Now I know I hurt you, on my knees I will come back to you!" "Yes, I love you more than my life!" "I want your caresses for me!" "Don't you confine him?" "My daughter will take care of it." "The fountain legend has come true." "It made us found each other." "Not the legend did this, but our love."
