"Agnese, why are you afraid?" "What are making me do?" "Come here... be quiet." "Wicked girl, you gave in!" "l'm ashamed, I disgust myself." "When you did it, you didn't feel disgust, eh?" "Yes, right after, Father." "That's too late, you're disgraceful!" "What can I do?" "Don't see him again!" "How?" "He's always at my house." "When I see him, I melt." "Don't look at him!" "I try, but I can't stop." "For shame!" "You must defeat the demon!" "You must pray." "Punish your flesh." "Pray!" "Pray!" "Pray!" "You're pale." "Are you ill?" "No." "l'll carry your books."

"I used that time to think a lot about you."" "Your fiancé is a man of letters!" "A poetic soul!" "What nonsense!" "Here, you can read it." "Just a moment..." ""Passionate kisses to your lips."" "You will tell him to write these obscenities to his sister!" "One more subterfuge and his letters will go in the toilet!" "Vincenzo..." "Shut up!" "Pansy hand!" "Consolata, the door." "Yes...

"Offer a liquor to your fiancé." "It's the new liquor." "It turned out well this year, it fermented last here." "Agnese!" "What is it, foolish girl?" "Pardon, I don't feel well." "What's wrong with her?" "She's strange." "Maybe she studies too much." "She talks at night." "ln her sleep?" "What does she say?" "What does she say?" "She mumbles." "What nonsense is this?" "Maybe she's ill." "Tomorrow I'll give her lettuce water." "I don't want to..." "Be brave." "If you're afraid, you're taken by the demon." "Any news from Rome?" "Not yet."

"That one too... stop that!" "Go!" "This is crazy!" "Peppino has to leave." "Already?" "Not because of..." "No, I have to study some chapters on legal medicine." "May I go with him?" "Yes." "The glass!" "3 minutes!" "Consolata, the coffee!" "Peppino, do you love me?" "Very much, but I have to go." "Not even one minute has passed!" "I know, but studying makes me nervous." "I have a headache and I'll be up all night with books." "I'll read in bed too." "I'll feel closer to you." "Will you come tomorrow?" "Maybe the day after." "l have to study..." "Don't wear yourself out!" "I need steel nerves!" "I made a mistake." "Agnese won't talk, she's not crazy!" "Crazy... what if she's crazy?" "My God!" "You could at least believe in prayer!" "Who are you?" "Don't you answer?" "You're a villain!" "Who are you speaking to?" "I'm studying out loud!" "You haven't come out for days!" "Take a rest!" "Come out for some air!" "You make me sick!"

"I told Matilde I was studying for the examination." "16 hours of study a day." "In fact, I'm going home now." "If Doctor Schiavone comes, tell him I'll come back." "My respects, Don Vincenzo." "Anyway... if mathematics is not just an opinion, 60 - 18 = 42." "42 times 365 equals..." "What are you doing, girls?" "We're in the bathroom!" "You're alway in there!" "Agnese!" "l'm here." "Embroider, Agnese, work..." "Rosaura!" "l'm coming!" "Come on, get to work..." "Matilde, when will your trousseau be finished?" "I can't find Peppino's photograph." "His student photo."

""Give in to lust"" "At this hour?" "Those are the words Agnese wrote." "To who?" "l don't know." "I'm worried about that girl." "What is she doing?" "Penitence?" "It took 3 hours by car!" "Isn't there a midwife here?" "is she ready?" "I spent 3000 lire on petrol." "Annina... lt's nothing." "What do you want?" "Close the door!" "What are you doing to me?" "You, get inside!" "She's a girl, sooner or later it had to happen." "Who was it?" "lt's not true!" "Who was it?" "l didn't do anything!" "Stop, Vincenzo!" "She could be pregnant!" "The midwife doesn't know, she has to be tested." "Stop!" "Examine all three of them!" "They're my wife's." "Urine samples?" "Yes, from my wife." "General analysis?" "To confirm a possible pregnancy." "Your name?" "What?" "Your name?" "Pisciotta." "lt will take a few days." "That long?" "Judge Randazzo's brother's lawyer is my cousin." "That changes things" "Sit down, we'll do it now." "We'll have the answer fast with an immunological test." "It's like a telegram." "Mr. Pisciotta!" "It's okay, the test was positive."

"Matilde..."" "Have you gone crazy?" "What has happened to her?" "He made her pregnant, a double traitor!" "If you don't marry her, I'll stab you!" "I'm a father too." "Calm down." "We'll fix things." "ln 15 days at the most!" "Write it!" "Poor Matilde!" "She will be compromised in front of everyone!" "I'll take care of Matilde." "Write!" ""Matilde, I'm taking back my promise of marriage."" "Why?" "All of a sudden, and with no explanation!" ""Don't ask me the reason for my decision."" "Why?" "Calm down." "If Agnese was shamed what does that have to do with me?" "Calm down, Matilde." "Compromised in front of everyone!" "I'll never be able to leave the house again!" "Calm down, your father won't let you die an old maid." "It's all that disgusting girl's fault!" "It's all your fault!" "You shamed yourself with a policeman!" "Where's the Baron?" "Inside." "The Baron's hanging himself!" "Run!" "Baron!" "Who is it?" "May I?" "Wait!" "I'm coming!" "One moment!" "Am I disturbing you?" "Just a second!" "You look well." "Excuse me... but I was passing by..." "You know how it is... I said to myself:" "I'll go and say hello to the Baron!" "It's big, isn't it?" "Very spacious!" "It's all that I have left of the building." "It's been rented room by room like a 4th class hotel." "This is the last refuge." "l've embarrassed your dignity." "Dignity appears above all in indigence." "Please, let's go to the antechamber." "After all... I can still say I have running water and a chair for my guests." "If I may ask..." "how did it happen?" "I inherited holes in my pocket from my father." "Your father was the very respected Baron Liprando." "I remember him with loving devotion." "He was the one that loaned me the money for the mine and I gave it back to him right on time." "It was in 1930." "You were a baby." "Do you see his portrait?" "It was there." "That's the last thing I sold." "My father was ugly, but the portrait was valuable." "He wasn't so ugly." "He one eye that looked left and the other, right." "He was kind." "When he met my children coming from Mass he gave them sweets, candies, ice cream..." "Do you remember?" "Rosaura, Annina, Matilde..." "This is Matilde, Rosaura, Annina, and that's Antonio." "You're a lucky father, with so many flowers..." "That's to the florist's merit." "Matilde, do the honors." "Have a seat." "Who is that?" "The Baron." "Who's here?" "The Baron." "Why is he here?" "I may be wrong, but he's Matilde's new fiancé." "Poor Matilde!" "Peppino was better!" "But, if Matilde marries the Baron..." "What?" "Nothing." "You're beautiful!" "What a heavenly aroma!" "There's fennel in it!" "Sublime!" "Pardon if we began with such a heavy dish." "lt was a great idea!" "lt was my husband's idea." "He said, make a hearty dish for him because..." "Matilde made the pasta." "My compliments!" "I prefer pasta... like ziti and fusilli." "You're an expert!" "Just a sympathizer." "What comes after this?" "Seeing as today is Saint John's Day..." ""Babalucci", rhum baba!" "Did I guess?" "How did you guess?" "From the perfume in the air." ""Babalucci to eat, kiss a girl so sweet, satisfaction a thing you'll never meet!"" "Nice, isn't he?" "A gentlemen." "Too bad about his teeth!" "What a surprising effect!" "They look well together." "Yes." "We can tell Matilde the whole truth now." "Not yet... because of his teeth." "He's missing three." "You can see that?" "And smell it too." "Bad breath." "l'll speak to him about it." "With the necessary tact." "Let's leave the women to themselves." "Let's have ourselves a little chat." "What dentist do you go to?" "You can see. I know." "When I laugh, you can see." "It's a shame, you're young." "At my age, they don't grow back." "They don't grow back." "lt can be fixed." "Doctor Paternò is the best dentist" "in the province." "Unfortunately, I..." "l'll speak to him." "That's too much trouble." "Go on, Matilde." "Don Orlando, remember that appointment." "Yes..." "lt's our turn." "Don't worry." "Where is Peppino?" "He's sick." "Sick?" "He's wearing horns!" "I don't want Agnese." "I want a virgin wife." "I have a right!" "You heard Don Vincenzo!" "Answer me!" "Would you have married Mama... if she had behaved like Agnese?" "What are you talking about?" "Well, you tried!" "The man must ask, the woman must refuse." "Exactly!" "Agnese didn't refuse." "I don't want to marry a whore!" "I'm obligated to Don Vincenzo!" "Answer the question." "If I had given in would you have married me?" "Absolutely not!" "Move that cart!" "Nino, when is the explosion?" "Carmelo!" "Are you doing it up there?" "If Califano doesn't show today, I'll show him!" "That's Father Mariano!" "Father Mariano!" "Why are you here?" "Ascalone!" "How are you?" "Fine I'm not here by chance, but for something heavy on my heart." "Have you guessed?" "Maybe, but you should tell me." "Amalia came to see me." "She told me everything." "Mrs. Amalia Califano is an intelligent woman." "She's friendly, religious and very prudent." "Matrimony is not the way to repair a mistake." "Yes, I know..." "There was a mistake, but to repair it, you mustn't make a larger one by celebrating a marriage with no guarantee of a union, of solidity and affection." "I agree.." "What guarantee is there of the education of the children?" "Peppino Califano is a scoundrel, but for the Church, he isn't obligated to marry Agnese." "He's not obligated... according to the Church?" "We have an agreement." "That's Amalia's opinion." "and Peppino's too." "Dirty rotten dogs!" "Don Vincenzo, calm down!" "Where are you going?" "ls anyone here?" "Nobody's home." "I washed the floor!" "Don Vincenzo, no one is home!" "Where are they?" "l don't know." "Brass, underline that third phrase!" "Start again!" "Where is your son?" "He had to leave." "It was my wife's idea, I wasn't involved." "Not involved?" "Are you a man or a puppet?" "You gave me your word!" "What happened?" "Nothing happened." "A misunderstanding." "Reparable, I hope." "Very reparable." "It's not my fault that Peppino ran off!" "Shut up!" "Quiet, the Baron is here." "Wake up!" "Excuse me, Don Vincenzo, the dentist took a mold, but he didn't give me any estimate yet." "Don't worry about it." "Here, I put in a change of socks." "and the cheese our cousin likes so much!" "You're disgusting!" "I hope you die among serpents!" "Come in, cousin." "is everything well at home?" "Francesca, Antonio...?" "Yes, everything's fine." "That makes me happy." "Why did you come here?" "ls it serious?" "Yes." "Tumor?" "Honor." "Eat and drink, those of you who can." "I'm an unhappy woman." "My gall bladder has me swollen." "I can't sleep at night." "You're lucky to be young and happy." "Now the reumatism will come back in the winter and my heart is in bad shape." "The doctor says it's my blood pressure." "I'm constipated, what can I do for you?" "My friend told me to take India root." "Vincenzo, is India root good for me?" "Who knows?" "Carmela, close the door!" "We'll send Peppino a registered letter." "If he doesn't show up in 24 hours, we'll press charges based on article 530:" ""Corruption of a minor"." "If he marries her he won't go to jail." "Article 544..." "But he knows you'll never do that becaus you don't want everyone to know the truth." "No, never!" "Right." "So?" "l'll kill him!" "You'll get 20 years." "If you'd have killed him at the moment it happened, under the influence of anger for the offense to your honor, the sentence would have been 3 or 7 years." "It's still valid in a state of anger lt's too late now." "The fight with Califano will get you accused." "Premeditation." "20 years." "Unless revenge is taken by another family member who discovers this offense to your honor." "He goes and kills him!" "Who could it be?" "Let's count out Francesca and your father." "Obviously count out Agnese, because she can't find out now she's been dishonored." "Therefore, a name jumps right at our eyes!" "Antonio!" "Me?" "!" "I was talking to him... and he suddenly got a lump on his nose." "He got a fever and he passed out." "104!" "It's rare, but it can happen." "I had a patient like that once in Naples." "It was called "Bombardment shock"." "He needs a purgative." "Can't you give him a more energetic medicine?" "Some penicillin?" "Why not?" "Penicillin, a million units." "Not two million?" "Alright." "Two million..." "The purgative!" "Don Vincenzo, to what do I owe the pleasure?" "Or displeasure?" "Don't worry, everything is fine at my house." "What can I do for you?" "Peppino Califano..." "Where is he?" "Life is hard these days." "It's difficult to believe that people are good." "I'm perfecting an electric guitar with a portable battery for serenading." "But who does that today?" "Today a fiancé sends a record." "And does anyone care for making death decorous?" "Today, the rich buy refrigerators, televisions, but they choose caskets made of common wood." "Business is difficult." "I have to be everyone's friend." "You know how the people in this town are." "He could receive an anonymous letter." "This is for the stamps." ""He whom you seek is hidden with his uncle in Regalbuto." "An anonymous friend but always at your command"." "This is a gun license, it's irreprehensible." "You always carry the gun with you, because of the worker's pay, etc..." "Get close to Peppino and give him an ultimatum:" ""lt'd be better for everyone if you marry my sister"." "If he objects..." "empty the gun!" "The coffee!" "Thank you." "Sugar?" "We'll do it." "Empty the whole cartridge but make it so only one is the fatal hit." "You were blinded by rage when you shot and that shot will have been the fatal one." "That's what I need in court!" "My cousin guarantees you a maximum of five years." "Let's go, the train might be on time." "Excuse me, I'll be right back." "I'm in here." "Matilde, it's me." "In all sincerity..." "do you still love Peppino?" "What?" "lf Peppino died, would you be sorry?" "If Peppino died... and your brother went to jail?" "How should I interpret your silence?" "Are you silently approving?" "Are you being funny?" "That's in very bad taste!" "Why does Peppino have to die?" "Antonio!" "l'm coming!" "Would you be sorry if Peppino died?" "Peppino is with his uncle, the priest, in Regalbuto." "I wouldn't want to kill a man you loved!" "Agnese!" "That disgusting scoundrel!" "What did you say?" "Antonio!" "l'm coming!" "What is it?" "l have to use the bathroom." "Consolata!" "Open the door..." "What are you doing here?" "Me?" "Nothing." "Come in." "Open the door!" "What did you want to tell me?" "Nothing." "Aren't you Don Vincenzo Ascalone's daughter?" "Yes." "Annina?" "l'm Agnese." "Sit down!" "You sit too." "Well, what happened?" "They want to kill him." "Explain that." "l can't." "Call her father." "My brother wants to kill Peppino Califano" "Where?" "He's hiding in St. Giuliano convent in Regalbuto." "Antonio left 5 minutes ago on the train." "Then there's time." "Why does your brother want to kill him?" "Wasn't he engaged to your sister?" "Didn't she leave him?" "He should be the one to be offended." "Why does Antonio want to kill him?" "Peppino is a coward!" "Listen, little girl... why do you want to save him and then call him a coward?" "Was there something between you?" "What are you writing?" "She says no and you're writing no?" "We're in Sicily." "She said no and maybe she means yes." "I say there was something between you and Califano." "No, I swear!" "Call her father." "No, please!" "lt's like you said." "As I was saying." "Write." "How old are you?" "Almost 16." "A minor!" "You'll have to sign." "Read it back." ""Are you Annina?" She answers the question: "No, I'm Agnese!"." "Get up!" "Go get the car ready!" "Where are we going?" "We're looking for the convent." "Turn." "Let's ask them." "Turn." "lt's faster if we ask." "Please, where is St. Giuliano convent?" "The convent?" "They're not answering." "They're not answering!" "Go..." "Peppino, where are you going?" "Stop!" "Excuse me, Father Stop, you coward!" "I order you to stop!" "I'll shoot!" "Criminal!" "Peppino!" "You're here?" "Why is that?" "Whore!" "Bastard child!" "Spy!" "Be quiet, for goodness sakes!" "It's nothing..." "Calm down, cousin." "Calm down." "Assassins!" "Speak up!" "No..." "Don't speak at all, that's better." "I agree with my colleague." "Let's put aside rancor, don't let anything out." "Nothing happened!" "You have only one enemy, he's in there!" "is that clear?" "Let them in." "Okay." "Good day, Your Honor." "Put out the cigarette!" "According to your sister, you want to kill Giuseppe Califano." "Me?" "Agnese..." "Have you gone crazy?" "Sit down!" "Your Honor, I swear!" "May I drop dead!" "Magnificent!" "He's denying it all!" "Now it's Peppino's turn." "Let me watch now!" "You escaped and were followed by Ascalone." "I didn't escape, I was running." "l was running too." "They ran." "To the garden." "And the gun?" "Did I have that?" "There was a gun, but it was on the ground." "Whose is it?" "I don't know." "Why would I kill Peppino?" "We're the best of friends." "I'll tell you the motive!" "The charge of corrupting a minor!" "He wants to dirty the honor of my family!" "My daughter's virginity is unquestionable." "That document is not valid." "I'll press defamation charges." "Control yourselves, we are in a seat of justice." "There are too many of us!" "If you value your life, you won't say a word!" "Threatening a public official." "Shall I arrest him?" "Let's not dramatize!" "Your Honor, we are not millionaires or barons." "The only wealth we have is our honored name!" "We are bound by court secrecy I want calm and respect!" "Please, go outside." "Let them stay." "Let's simplify matters." "Go sit with the others." "Sit down." "ln silence, please!" "Let's try to simplify this..." "Sit down, Agnese." "Do you confirm the charges?" "She was bragging." "She's a little girl." "It was a trick." "Tell him." "She's a virgin, very virgin!" "A false charge is a serious crime, punishable by prison." "Answer!" "Call the doctor." "I'll have you examined to confirm you haven't charged falsely." "Are you opposed?" "No." "Why?" "Good." "And you, ma'am?" "And you?" "You either?" "And you, Agnese?" "l don't want to!" "l've already been examined!" "That's not true!" "Wait!" "l didn't move." "We're wasting time with an hysterical girl!" "Are you a virgin or not?" "Answer!" "He knows it!" "He knows what happened that night!" "Me?" "Yes, you!" "Tell him if I'm a virgin!" "If you're not, what do I have to do with it?" "Did it have to be me?" "My family is old and honored." "It has never been forced to turn to the law." "We've had our share of violent deaths too, but we accepted those with dignity." "We are at the point where l must confirm that this unlucky girl was manhandled by that pig!" "We have witnesses, the first being the priest." "I didn't know a thing about any of this!" "Write that down!" "Stop that!" "l have a fever too." "You have to demolish her morally." "Counselor, what are you doing?" "Not you, the other one." "Show that she was already corrupt or you're in trouble." "He'd like to recount how this presumed seduction came about." "You'll have to write some more." "Come..." "We'll hear it... I had been visiting the Ascalone home for some time, as it is the home of my ex-fiancé," "Miss Matilde." "I had already noticed certain of her behaviors certain inviting glances but I didn't consider them, in fact they were embarassing." "He's lying!" "Hurry this up!" "On July 12th, I was invited fo a meal." "ln the morning?" "!" "No, at one o'clock." "Then say "lunch"!" "After eating, everyone took a nap." "I stayed in the living room with Matilde and her sister." "Are you smoking?" "What are you reading?" "I'm thirsty." "Excuse me..." "What?" "Have you gone crazy?" "What are you doing?" "What do you want to do to me?" "I want you!" "I'm engaged!" "That's enough!" "Agnese, what's wrong?" "Take her outside." "Did you write that?" "You'll have to repeat that at the trial." "Do the charges stand?" "Arrest him!" "I'll request release on bail." "Your client is under arrest for now." "You can go!" "You are charged with assault with a weapon." "Shall I close the door?" "Yes." "Laugh!" "You laugh too or I'll break your head!" "Would you like some ice cream?" "I know you like it!" "Would you like some too?" "5 lemon ice creams." "How pretty you are!" "I want pistachio." "Not bad. I hope this isn't too sophisticated." "Dear friend, I'm curious about something." "is it true that Antonio fought with Peppino Califano?" "You can't hide anything in this town!" "It's true, because Matilde left Peppino and Peppino thought we were against their engagement." "lsn't it true?" "We're not in the dark ages!" "Matilde didn't like him, and that was that!" "You cannot command the heart!" "Criminal, spy!" "Get out of the way!" "Coward!" "I did my duty." "Matilde is here!" "Quiet!" "You'll never come out again, not even for the toilet!" "I understand everything." "You wanted to force Peppino to marry me. lt's too late!" "If he doesn't want me, he doesn't deserve me." "But, thank you." "Thank you too, brother." "It's the Baron!" "I'm coming!" "The law speaks clearly." "Article 544." "For the foreseen crimes of article 530:" "physical violence, corruption of a minor, etc... marriage to the offended party eliminates the crime." "He has to marry her." "l won't marry her!" "I'd rather go tojail!" "You can't give us the same story you gave thejudge." "He didn't believe you either!" "You dishonored her!" "If I marry her, she's not dishonored anymore." "Wonderful logic!" "With a criminal record, you can't take the test for the job." "Damn!" "Be brave, the lawyer was able to get you out." "Released on bail." "They put me on a cross!" "On a cross, Mama!" "There she is!" "Bring her here!" "Peppino, be happy that you are marrying this whore." "No!" "l declare you man and wife!" "Everything's okay!" "Article 530 states that in the case of corruption..." "Califano..." "Papa, they're coming." "I want them to be humiliated in front of the whole town!" "What do they want from me?" "I don't want Peppino now." "I'm not a rag you can throw away and pick up again." "What satisfaction for that rotten blackmailer." "Stay calm." "Don Vincenzo, we beg you..." "Pardon, I'm very busy." "We had a long talk with Peppino." "He's willing to..." "To what?" "To marry Agnese." "What an honor!" "That's too good for you and too easy." "Too good, too easy and far too simple!" "Why are you being so strange?" "Anger is out of place, we are all up to our necks here." "Why are you being so strange?" "Why should I give my daughter to your son?" "Because 8 months from now" "Agnese will have a baby." "No, no marriage and your son goes to jail!" "Therefore, as this affair has ended with the law and the prospective is a marriage in jail, I'd be saying "The prisoner and the whore will marry"." "So, I'm saying no!" "That's final!" "Agnese doesn't need this marriage as she is a virgin." "I therefore refuse!" "You have the right to insist on trying to change my mind." "I can't stop you from trying." "So..." "So?" "Go on and insist!" "Loudly, so everyone can hear!" "It won't be easy to convince me." "I'll be very tough, almost immovable." "You've made me angry!" "I won't give my daughter Agnese to your son!" "Do you understand?" "How petulant they are!" "What happened to you?" "Craziness!" "Just imagine, that Peppino... is saying that we compromised him." "Seeing as he can't have Matilde he's gotten it into his head to marry Rosaura... no, Agnese." "First Matilde and now Agnese?" "His parents told me he's infatuated." "Agnese is 16 years old and maybe doesn't want to know but would I give her a man like that?" "Please... not a word to anyone." "Just don't hit him." "l'm not an idiot!" "More passion!" "That's pathetic!" "Make him hurry." "l'll wait till he's done." "The whole town has to hear." "I'll never give you my daughter!" "Never!" "What happened?" "Be quiet, you disgusting girl!" "Peppino is back!" "Forgive him!" "Maybe he loves me." "He still loves me!" "Go to sleep!" "Matilde and Grandpa are leaving tomorrow." "She's going to Aunt Carmela who's very ill, understand?" "She'll come back when everything is fixed." "Write and tell us the news!" "Goodbye!" "I'm going... I must tell you something." "I know you sent Matilde away because of Peppino's behavior." "You did the right thing, but shouldn't I confront this gentleman to explain that he has no right..." "The Califano family does not deserve much respect." "They were given warning last night." "It was really laughable!" "I saw you smile openly." "Beautiful!" "They look like your own." "Not yet..." "Did he give you an estimate?" "He gave me the bill." "May I?" "You have a right." "l'll read it later, Rizzeri." "May I call you Rizzeri?" "Of course, Papa." "May I call you Papa?" "Of course!" "Please, come to dinner." "That's too much trouble." "Lasagna and sardines!" "At 8:30 p.m., Papa." "Excuse me." "What a happy day." "Illustrious Sergeant..." "To what do I owe the displeasure of your visit?" "Pasquale Profumo, in brief... I saw them come and go." "You tell me the rest." "That's a professional secret!" "What a place!" "Better, a lot better!" "It needs an atomic bomb." "Get the jeep." "We're leaving!" "l don't understand." "You don't have to, just follow!" "Pity, there's a procession." "There's a kidnapping today." "A kidnapping?" "!" "A girl!" "Move, you idiot!" "Agnese, where are you?" "l thought it was Papa." "We're going out." "We're going out?" "!" "Yes. lt's St. Liborio Day." "We're going to Mass." "Take a bath!" "Where can I put these?" "What, are you staying there?" "Isn't there a kidnapping?" "Exactly!" "Where?" "I don't see anyone." "They're doing it in town." "Lie down." "What are you thinking?" "Nothing." "Stop thinking!" "lt's getting cloudy." "lt's going to rain salt!" "He's kidnapping a girl today." "What would you do?" "I'd arrest him immediately." "This way, he'll marry her and you'll have to release him You'd also look like a fool." "You'd better learn that marriage eliminates the crime." "Betrayal, physical violence, seduction of the incapacitated, exploitation of a minor..." "Article 544:" "marriage eliminates everything." "Did you know that?" "Even little kids kow that here." "Why is he kidnapping her?" "He doesn't want her." "Then why is he kidnapping?" "That way he's forced to marry." "They're all in agreement." "He isn't!" "Yes, he is!" "Sorry, I don't understand anything." "You can't understand." "These are questions of honor!" "It should rain rock salt!" "Dry everything up!" "Immacolata, go inside!" "Agnese, go on the other side." "Annina is smaller, she sould be on the left." "I've never heard of that." "She was on the left." "The other one!" "Assassins!" "My little Agnese!" "You all saw!" "It was Peppino!" "Let me go!" "Michele, stop the car!" "Go back to town!" "I'll go to jail!" "You're disgusting!" "Get out of here!" "What is she doing?" "Did she stop?" "No, she's walking to town." "She will be... dishonored in front of everyone!" "That's impossible!" "You miserable girl, go back to town!" "Everyone is waiting for you in the piazza..." "Even dogs!" "Shameful woman!" "Show yourself to everyone!" "Don't wait, keep going!" "It's alright!" "The procession is coming." "Go away!" "We can go now." "I kiss your hand... and beg your forgiveness." "Look at me!" "First, I'll slap you..." "Then you can kiss my hand." "I forgive you now." "Come inside, you fool!" "Thank you." "What are you looking at?" "That's how things go..." "My house is open to all my friends!" "What is it?" "Wedding candies!" "Are they already married?" "Not yet." "We've asked for dispensation of the wedding banns." "Where is the copy of the letter?" "If all the legal controversies can be resolved this way, it would be wonderful, no?" "Of course!" "Registrar." "Do you intend to marry Miss Agnese Ascalone?" "Of course." "Registrar, write that down!" "Where's Miss Ascalone?" "Here she is." "Do you agree?" "Will you be happy" "to marry him?" "Very happy!" "Do you wish to marry Giuseppe Califano?" "Answer!" "Speak!" "Answer, yes or no?" "Yes!" "Yes!" "She's crying forjoy!" "They're tears of happiness!" "She said yes, you heard." "Agnese, calm down." "Everyboddy out!" "I'll stab you, you creep!" "You won't stab anyone!" "I'll charge you with assault for maltreatment and exploitation of a minor!" "Giuseppe Califano..." "You are still charged with corruption of a minor and now with kidnapping!" "Peppino is being tried!" "When?" "Few days." "Closed courtroom!" "What does that mean?" "The crimes are unmentionable." "He doesn't want her." "No, she doesn't want him!" "The motive is clear..." "l don't understand." "He kidnapped her and she still doesn't want him?" "Peppino Califano is impotent!" "You can see she's a whore by the way she walks!" "Why is he being condemned?" "She's a minor and he's already had her." "The kidnapping was a cover." "The sisters are like that too." "Awhole family of whores!" "There they are!" "Vincenzo!" "Leave me alone!" "Move!" "Ascalone, I must speak to you!" "Stop!" "You must explain to me!" "We've ended up in the shit!" "Get out of my way, you bum!" "I may be a bum, but I'm a gentleman and you can't buy me at any price!" "You're backwards!" "Uncivilized!" "lgnorant!" "Are you happy now?" "Stop her!" "Stop her!" "I want to go away!" "Where?" "l want to go to Milan!" "I want to be a maid!" "No, Miss!" "What about the baby?" "Unknown father!" "Son of a bitch!" "Why do you want to send me to prison?" "I don't want to!" "Forgive me, Papa!" "Papa!" "Papa!" "Agnese, dear..." "You're better now." "She's alright." "Why is everyone here?" "What is Aunt Carmela doing?" "She's here for your father." "Your cousins from Ragusa are here... and your aunts... and cousins from Agrigento that you never met." "Come here, Papa's beautiful baby!" "I want to thank you." "Give me your hand." "Give Papa your hand." "Thank you..." "Come closer." "Come here, Peppino." "Give me your hand." "Thank you, both of you." "You idiot!" "The veil..." "She's a dream!" "A cloud of love!" "What are they doing?" "Agnese is almost ready." "The ceremony is at 10." "I'm not going to make it." "Come closer." "I'm leaving you..." "Don't say that, cousin, for the love of God!" "I'm going, but don't let them know... or they'll call it off again and everything will be lost." "Tell them after the wedding." "Vincenzo..." "Go now..." "Go..." "Tell them I'm fine." "We can't leave him!" "I'll rest..." "I'll sleep." "Please, don't tell them." "Lock me inside." "Laugh, today is a celebration!" "To life!" "To life!" "Maybe it's time we wrote the truth to Mathilde and tell her about everything." "My poor daughter, two pieces of bad news!" "Peppino is married, the Baron left her." "There's a third bit of bad news." "What?" "Nothing." "Look, they're exchanging the symbols of eternal love." ""Honor and family""
