"Sorry, there's really nothing I can do." "Just be patient and we'II try and get you all sorted out." "Let's see what we can do." "Oi, Ricci, you've got a job." " A job?" " bill poster." "You've got to report to the biII-posting offices." "Give him this and take your employment card along." "Anything for us?" "The hell with it!" "And us?" "There are two turners' jobs, but there are no turners here." "And if you're not a turner, what do you do?" "Gather dust?" "Don't take it out on me!" "Hey, Ricci, remember your bike!" "You have to have a bike." "A bike?" "I have and I haven't." "I can't get my hands on it right now." "Perhaps in a few days' time." "You need one straight away or they won't take you on." "I can do it on foot for the first few days." "If you haven't got a bike, you'II have to let someone else take it." " I've got a bike." " So have I." " Me too!" "But you're a bricklayer!" "Change my category!" "You can't!" "Now, have you got a bike or haven't you?" "I've got one, I've got one." "Remember if you haven't got a bike, there's nothing doing, right?"

" What's up?" "There's a job for me, but I can't take it." "What did you say?" "I didn't hear." "Wait a minute, Antonio." "What did you say?" "You've got a job?" "A good one, too." "With the council!" "well, it's a start, Antonio." "What do you mean, start!" "I need a bike, and right away." "If I don't go along straight away, they'II give it to someone else." " What shall I do?" " What do you expect?" " Morning, missus." " Morning." "You shouldn't have pawned your bike!" " And how were you supposed to eat?" " Shut up!" "It's always the same!" "I might as well go and jump in the river." "Get up, Antonio!" "What are you doing?" "You don't have to have sheets to sleep, do you?" "They're just sheets." "They're made of linen and cotton."

" Good bye." " Bye!" " Bye." " Tomorrow at a quarter to seven!" " On the dot!" " How'd you get on?" " Fine." "It's all arranged." " What have you got there?" " A bit of work for you, too." "The cap needs taking in." "It's a bit too big." "Come over here!" "Look." "Everyone's got their own locker." "See how big it is?" "They used to give us shoes, too." "Not bad... the pay's good, too." "Six thousand a fortnight, plus family allowance and overtime!" "Can I drop by via della PagIia a second?" " What for?" " To see a woman who works there." " A woman?" " Yes, a woman." "Stay here."

"She said you'd find a job." "Have you got one or not?" "I want to due my duty." " Know what I think if you go in?" " Give over." "How can a woman like you, with two children,.." "..believe in all this tripe and these tricks?" "What are you doing?" "As if you had money to burn!" "What the hell's got into you?" "Can't you find any better way of spending your money?" "I'm grateful to her." "Did she find the job for me?" "Come on, move!" "Don't be so daft." "Let's go home." "Come on, Bruno, it's already half past six." "I can't clean it properly, there's not enough light." "Did you see what they've done?" "They've scratched it." "So what?" "It was probably like that." "No, it wasn't." "And there's a dent." "God knows how they store them." "I'd have said:" ".."You're not the one who pays for the repairs!"" " will you shut up?" " That's what I'd have said." " Is my cap ready, Maria?" " Yes." " What have you made?" " OmeIette." "Let's have a look at you." "Mm, will you look at that!" " Do I Iook good?" " You look like a cop!" " Hey!" " Lay off!" "It hurts!" "Sssshh!"

"..so that there are no wrinkles." "Got it?" "Hi, kids." "If you leave any wrinkles in...." "....the inspector fines you." "Got it?"

"climb up!" " Come on, hurry up." "I saw him going towards the tunnel." "Hurry up." "What's wrong?" " well?" " I must have been mistaken." " I was sure he went this way." " Oh, well!" "Yes, there was a crowd." "But they just went about their business...." "MaiIani!" "What is it?" " You're going to the meeting." " No, Capè's going." "He's changed." "You go." "Sign here." " Cavroni?" " Yes sir." " It's our turn." " Come on, quick." " Can you do anything?" " You have the time, you look for it." "Have I got to walk round the whole of Rome?" "I don't know what it looks like." "You've got a description and the registration number." "It'd take the whole flying squad to look for a bike!" "So what's the point of reporting it?" "Tomorrow you might find it in some bike stall,.." "..all you have to do is call a policeman and everything's official." " Anything new, Brigadier?" " Just a bike been stolen." "Thanks." "Goodbye." "So I have to sort it out myself?" "It's fine as it is." "You've reported it." "It's fine as it is." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "You'd Iike to, wouldn't you?" "hello Bruno." "Hey, Dad!" "It's half past seven!" "I came back by bus." "Come on." "What about the bike?" " Is it broken?" " Yes, it's broken." "Go inside." "I'II be in in a minute." "Go on!" "It's not a problem for the employment Exchange." "If there's no work, people won't have jobs." "Our cell has already told the branch that.." "..and the Working Men's Association." "dole money doesn't solve anything, it humiliates the worker,.." "..it's soon gone and it doesn't solve the problem." "What we need is a big public works programme,.." "..as they said at the meeting: you can't expect us to work miracles." " Who's that?" " Can you keep quiet back there?" " It's him!" "As soon as there's a chance to help you out, we jump at it." "Hi, Ricci." "Good job to have, isn't it?" "#....really loved me..#" "#..you'd make sure I wasn't taken for a ride by other people....#" " #people.# - #people.#" " #people.# - #people.#" "alright."

"I was looking for you." "I want to talk." " What's up?" " They've nicked my bike." "You're joking..." "Where?" "At the florida." "while I was sticking up posters." "How did it happen?" "Baiocchi, You've got to help me." "I've got to get my bike back." "Easier said than done." "Excuse me a second." "Baiocchi, listen to me or we'II be here all night!" "I'm listening." "#If you really, really loved me....# Shut up everyone!" "You'd make sure I wasn't taken for a ride." "Are you listening?" "I'm listening!" "#Peo-pIe.# #Peo-pIe.# Do you think I'm daft?" "You carry on." "I'II be there in a tick." "The hell with it!" "Piazza Vittorio's the only place to go." "Go there at night in order to be among the first!" "These thieves try to get rid of these bikes straight away." "The only thing to do is try there." "Antonio." "Maria." "Is it true?" "Don't start." "I didn't go home to avoid listen to your moaning." "Who's moaning?" "It's not the sort of thing that happens every day." "Have you done anything?" "Have you looked for it?" "Don't cry like that, you look like a little girl." "It wouldn't be the first one to be found they change the saddle,.." "..or the handlebars, but it has to be at the market tomorrow." "And if it's there, we'II bring it back home." "You'II lose a bit of sleep tonight, but don't worry, we'II find it." "Miss, what would you be doing today?" " I'm walking out with a friend." " Not with me?" " No, mother's here." "This just isn't on!" "Either you go or we do." "We rehearse or you chat." "You tell him, Meniconi." "He's right." "You'II never learn anything from rehearsing!" "Trust me, we'II sort it out somehow." " See you tomorrow." " Goodnight." "And don't forget what I told you!" "Speed things up a bit or we'II never get out of here." "Can you get that cart out of the way?" "Have you loaded up there?" " Hey, Baiocchi, I'm here." " Be right there." "Amerigo, over here." "By the way, what was the make?" "It was a lightweight Fides, 1935 model." "He knows it better than I do." "So much the better, at Ieast we can split up." "Bagonghi, we'II go this way." "No, this way's better." "You two look out for the tyres, you look out for the frame,.." "..and the boy can look at the pumps and bells." "Let's go!" " Fides, it's a Fides frame." " I heard!" "Let's look for it bit by bit.." "..then we'II put it back together." "Keep your eyes open, Bagonghi." "Be on your guard!" "He's nothing to do with it." "Let's go this way,.." "..don't let them see we're looking for something special." "Wander about, as if you're just looking." "There you go, they're setting up now." " Damn them all..." " I bet we find it." "I'm really uptight about this!" "Oi, Bruno, you look through the bells and pumps." "If you find anything, give us a whistle." "You two stay here, and you come with me." "Remember what I told you." "If we find it, I'II be over the moon." "1925 Bianchi." "Hey, move on!" "Remember: a Fides." "Want to buy something?" "clear off and let me get on with my work!" "I was here first!" "There's no point in us all being here." "Antonio, take a look at the wheels, Bagonghi the frames, and the kid.." "..the pumps and bells." "I'II go this way." "Come and have a look at this frame." " What do you think?" " What make is it?" " Why, do you want to buy it?" " No." "Be careful." "The paint's fresh." "I want to look at the number on the frame." "What for?" "Are you buying the number?" "I want to see the frame number." "And if I won't let you?" "I'II go and call a cop." "You can call whoever you want!" "Why?" "Is it stolen?" "You have to show the frame number to anybody who wants to see it." "And what'II you show me in exchange?" "Your shoe size?" "Why do you want numbers?" "playing a lottery?" "No, I don't play the lottery." "Don't you want a bell?" "You've been here half an hour already." "Do you want it or not?" "How much does the bell cost?" "A hundred and fifty lire." "Do you want it?" "Makes a really nice sound." "Listen!" "You've reported the theft, so there's no need to worry." "Let's have a look at that frame." "clear off." "Can't a body work in peace any more?" "What's wrong?" "Don't you trust me?" "twelve zero twenty four." "Is that yours?" "No." "You're a bit dirty." "Here's a rag." "It's not a question of trust or not." "Some scoundreI stole his bicycle,.." "..he has the right to look if he wants." "Look if you want!" "Who's stopping you?" "Everyone makes mistakes." "We're all honest here in Piazza Vittorio!" "Yeahhh!" " What d'ya mean, "Yeaah"?" " Nyaaaah!" "Forget it." "Remember the name Fides." " Where's my boy?" " He'II be near the carts." "There's nothing doing here." "It's not easy." "Do you want something else?" "Bruno, stay by my side." "Let's go!" "He'II take you down to Porta Portese and we'II stay here." "You'II have to go to Porta Portese this morning." "Go there now." "Go with him." "Take it easy." "Go on!" "Go on!" "It's pointless." "There's nothing doing." "It always rains on Sundays." "A day off work and you have to stay at home all day." "This song and dance is really getting me down." "These daft kids run out in front of you, next thing you're in the nick." "It's really coming down now." "It rains every Sunday." " What happened?" " I fell over!" "Here you are." "clean yourself up a bit!" "What have you got to be so scared of?" "I don't want to get my white tie and tails wet." " You give me only 100 lire?" " That'II do." " What are we going to do?" " We'II see." "Stop him!" "Stop him!" "Thief!" "Let's go and find the old man!" "There he is, Dad!" "Where has the old sod gone?" "Where are you going?" "Oi, Bruno!" "What are you doing!" "Leave off!" "Sorry." "I want to talk to that young bloke you were with." "Where can I find him?" "What young bloke?" "The one that rode off on a bike." "Why?" "What's he done to you?" "Nothing." "I just want to talk to him about something personal." "How should I know?" "I don't know him." "He was there with you under that arch!" "There are so many young blokes around..." " No, over here!" " No!" " Forget it!" " I have to talk to him!" "Can you credit it... a poor old bloke keeping himself to himself...." "It's late." "You have to be here before ten." "They told me it was always open!" "Come on, hurry up, get in." "There are always Iatecomers." "And the beard is...." "luckily a Iot of them have already had a shave." "I knew it, We'II end up running late." "I've still got four shaves and eight haircuts to do." "Just the hair." "No, that's enough for today!" "What about the soup?" "Later." "The mess tins have to be...." "If this is anyone's first time,.." "..remember that the mess tins have to be taken into the courtyard." "Come on, don't waste time." "That's the way!" "well done." "Line up!" "Get in line!" "Afterwards everyone has to find their own mess tin or can." "Might be a nice idea to have a shave." " Do you need a shave?" " No." " well get into church, then." "Sit down." "You get into church." "will you be long?" "No, I've only got this one and this one." "No, not me." " So we can begin." " Yes." "Not here, please." "I'm growing a goatee." "Do the other side." "The priest is waiting." "That'II do, I think, it's late." " I need more time." " Let's go." "Over here, little boy!" "Move up." "I've got to find that young bloke." "I've got to talk business with him." "Where can I find him?" "Leave off." "I don't know him." "I don't know nothing." "Page six." "I wish to leave this holy place.... ....feeling pure in spirit.... ....and calm...." "It's a bit of business he'd be interested in." "Where is he?" "It's not my job to know where people are." "tell me or I'II turn you in." "What have I done?" "....we must walk along...." "Leave it out." "....and walk the streets of pain and privation." "You just have to tell me where he is." "I've nothing against you." "I can even leave you something." " What's for lunch?" " Pasta and potatoes." "Going to tell me then?" "It'II be worse, if I take you to the police station." "You'II stay there." "Where does he live?" "well, Via della CampaneIIa...." "What number?" "The hell with it." "Fifteen, I think." " You're coming with me, then." " Can't you go on your own?" "Either you take me there or I'II take you there with the cops.." "..'cause I've had enough!" "Understand?" "Keep quiet or I'II get you thrown out!" " police." " police." "Going to take me there, then?" "I ain't going anywhere with you." " Why?" "What'II happen to you?" " clear off!"

" alright, but I'm coming with you." "Just when I was going to get a decent meal for a change." " Stop them." " Where are you going?" "You can't do that." " Did a man come by here?" " No." "And it isn't time to go yet." "Put a bit more in there." "What the hell do you want?" "I want to get out!" "The door's shut!" "The lawyer's got the key!" "Stop that row!" "This is a church!" "Do you want to get out?" "This is no way to behave in a church." "Stop!" "I must find him." "Did you come here just to make a row?" "What the blazes do you want?"

"He's pretending to throw a fit." "What do you mean pretending?" "He's more dead than alive." "Where do you live?" "I Iive here." "I told him to go to the station." "What have you got against my son?" "He's innocent." "Everyone knows him round here." "That's right." "He says that he's got a German hat." "This isn't German." " Come on, get up." " He can't even move!" "Brigadier, he should be in hospital rather than out in the open." "will you take us upstairs, then?" "For God's sake...." "We're good people in our house." "Come on." "I'd sue him for defamation!" "He's never hurt a fly!" "It won't take long to look round." "This is all there is." "There are four of us live here." "He.." "..sleeps here." "Look and see if there are any bikes under the bed." "My daughter, another child and me sleep here.." "Ooh!" "Instead of coming here to offend us, why not give the boy a job.." "..he's been looking for ages." "Good Grief!" "They're my brother-in-Iaw's tyres: he had an 1 100,.." "..which he rented." "Look and see if there are any bikes under the bed." "Look,.." "..isn't there anyone who can act as witness for you?" " I can act as a witness!" " But you...." "would you Iike to leave us for a second, ma'am?" "talk as much as you want:" "I don't mind!" "You might have made a mistake on your own." "Are you sure it was him?" "Yes, I'm sure it was him!" "Come here." "Look out there." "What do you see?" "They're all witnesses for him." "You're wasting time." "I see this kind of thing happening every day." " Did you really see his face?" " Yes, while he was running away." "You saw him from behind, then." "No, I saw him, because...." " Was there anyone else there?" " Yes, there was." "Can't you give me the name of a witness?" "I had other things to do than take people's names." "What do you want to do, then?" "You didn't see his face, you've got no witnesses,..." "What are you going to do?" "You haven't got any evidence." "If he were innocent, you'd be in a right mess." "You've got to catch these people red-handed or find the goods." " I'II smash his face." " That way you'II end up inside too." "If you only knew how important this is for me...." "Come here." "I'm fine." "Take me along to the station." "What did you find?" "Nothing!" "I'm innocent, I am!" "." " What's your name?" " AIfredo CateIIi." "Do you want to report him?" "My boy's innocent!" "You'd better clear off!" "Are you nuts or what?" "Go careful!" "Come on, Bruno." "Let's go.." "Don't come back here ever again!" "There you are." "Take the tram, go to Montesacro, and wait for me." "Don't just stand there!" "Move!" "Thief!" "Stop him!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Where shall we take him, the FIaminio station or ParioIi?" "FIaminio." "PasquaIe and I'II go." "Forget it." "Don't worry." "You're going to leave me here... with him?" "I don't want any trouble." "'Bye all and thanks very much." "Nice example you're setting for your kid." "You're lucky." "If it were up to me, I'd take you in." "This is your lucky day." "Get off home!" "You'd best clear off!" "Thank your lucky stars!" "clear off!"
