"But right after that, it takes on the scientific and bureaucratic tone that the inventory of a museum of horrors could have." "The conclusions are discouraging." "In fact, only the armed divisions would be able to defend themselves with special equipment and with proper detection and alarm systems." "The population, on the contrary, is defenseless."

"They don't manufacture them anymore." "In the new models, the style has been completely changed." "Excuse me!" "I'm taking two cans." "Go ahead." "How about some whiskey, Ma'am?" " How much is it?" " 6,200 lire." "Here it is." " Where are you going?" " Back home." "It should be 250 miles from here." "Thanks for the whiskey." "Let's go." "All the best!" "Good-bye." "Stop!" "Stop!" "What's going on?" "You must stop here." "Vehicles cannot proceed." "What is this place?" "An operations area." "Wait here." "This is a checkpoint." "All right." "This is not the way to do it." "We're treating them like guinea pigs." "The plans were different." "Come on, guys." "Follow us." "What happened?" "What we were expecting to happen." "Come in." "Take off those candies, please." "Are you engaged?" "Married?" "Are you a virgin?" "Or not?" "Why?" "Forget about it." "But there are some questions that you must answer." "Have you ever had venereal diseases?" "No." " And you?"

"This is a special edition." "From a makeshift studio, we are broadcasting the latest footage that reached us." "We are not sure if this edition will take place as usual, so we apologize to the audience." "These terrifying images can barely give us an idea of the terrible disgrace which is devastating the world." "This is footage of London on fire." "We ask everyone to be calm and have trust." "Today, the decisions and the final word are up to the electronic brains that don't have the doubts and hesitations of a human being." "This footage speaks for itself." "A whole civiliz ation destroyed." "We'll have to start over again." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Major?" "We're connecting with the helicopter base of the World Board of Reorganiz ation to interview Major Mario Gulpiani, who brought us a dreadful documentary on Rome."

"Because through my sins I stained my soul." "I lost paradise." "I deserved hell and worse, because I offended what you are, infinitely good and worthy of love above everything else."

"Go get all the blankets, all the colored stuff." "It's headed here." "We have to send the signals in the proper way." "Do you think they spotted us?" "With these signals, they'll see us." "Why did you put on that dress?" "I don't know." "To welcome the crew." "It's getting closer." "Look." "But it's not a blimp." "It's a bottle." "Pepsi-Cola." "It's Christmastime already."

"A whole whale just for the two of us!" " Aren't you excited?" " No!" "It will only bring us misfortune!" "Let's lock ourselves in the house." "It's cold." "I'm scared!" "I'm Captain Ahab!" "The harpooner!" "Dora." "Leave!" "Why aren't you happy?" "It's the white whale." "It's Moby Dick." "It's Pinocchio's whale." "Soon, because of the beast, we won't be able to live here anymore." "Do you like it?" "It's an absolutely charming shelter." "And what about these clothes?" "But maybe it's a dream." "Look at this black dress." "I was drawing the whale when I met this woman." "You're very pretty." "Hi." "In my bag, there are all kind of things." "I emptied three stores." "Cream, cologne, toothpaste, toothbrushes, everything." "I'm a thief." "It smells nice." "Smell it."

"You don't know how sad it is to be alone for so many months." "It's terrible." "Oh, Dora, my dear." "You're both so nice to me." "What's wrong?" "I'm sleepy." "Sorry." "I'll give you a good massage." "It will put you to sleep." "You look sad." "Why?" "I'm thinking." "What are you thinking about?" "You don't know?" "It's getting cold now." "So what are you thinking about?" "Is anything bothering you?" "Don't you want to tell me everything?" "Everything?" "Yes." "I wanted to ask you something." "You know the world." "You're a very experienced woman." "Is it right to want a child?" "Not only is it right, it's a duty." "Dora doesn't want to." "She won't collaborate." "Hi." "It's a beautiful day." "I brought you some milk." "Drink it while it's hot." "What are you doing?" "I'm writing a catalogue of the medical herbs that I've picked." "Very interesting." "Please, have a seat." "For example, see this?" "This is called grass." "As per the drawing." "It's in the book." "And what plant is that?" "That's what I'm trying to find out." "Here, drink your milk." "Drink it all." "It's good, huh?" "You know, I've been thinking about last night's conversation." "I have a little gift for you." "A pacifier." "Dora!" "This is good meat." "It's very sweet." "What animal is it?" "Just eat it." "I wonder where that lady who was here with us is." "She left all her stuff here." "She was a little weird." "It's a pity." "We were getting along so well." "Aren't you happy that there's only the two of us now?" "Yes." "But we should go look for her tomorrow." "Are you happy with me?" "Dora, I'm happy with you." "But we don't want to be alone anymore." "I want a child." "It's our duty." "I'm your woman." "And I'm your man." "These peeled tomatoes taste like the sun." "Your whale stinks even more today." "We'd better run!" "Wait!"

"Two poor things under the waterfalls of our Lord." "Come on!" "Dora!" "Shall we go?" "No." "I want to stay here in this new home." "But I can't stay here." "I'm not allowed to." "I'm the Museum Curator." "You can go." "It's over." "The party's over." "We can go back home." "The whale is gone." " What do you mean, it's gone?" " Well, they ate it." "A wonderful skeleton is what's left of it." "It's the truth." "Let's go." "It looks like a hand." "But it's a hand." "I love this sculpture." "Let's just hope the sea won't sweep it away." "Are you happy to be back home?" "Yes." "Here they are." "I laid them all here." "They'll keep us company." "And why would you want the company of a dummies' cemetery?" "Now we are back home, together." "We should really think about our future now." "I want a child." "No, we can't." "We don't have the right to have one." "Another one." "Honey and ricotta." "Ricotta and honey." "Today I'm going to sow, I hope, the seed of man." "Good fishing!" "How are you today, my dear wife?" "I have a stomachache, but I'm fine." "I'm hungry." "See?" "I caught three already." "This is a female." "100, 200, one million children." "Are you sure you're okay?" "Yes, I'm fine." "I just have a little nausea." "100, 200, one million children." "You know what?" "You're pregnant!" "I sowed you!" "It's not true!" "It's not true!" "Swear it's not true!" "Why did you do it?" "Why did you do it?" "Why did you do it?" "Why did you do it?" "We didn't have that right!" "We didn't have that right!" "The seed of man has sprouted!" "I sowed!" "I sowed!" "The seed of man has sprouted!" "All the children!" "The children of the children!" "I sowed the seed!" "I sowed the seed!" "The seed of man has sprouted!" "Ten thousand million children!" "All the children!" "The children of the children!" "Ten thousand million children!"
