Luciana... isn't your shift at two? I changed it! I've got to go to the dentist. That errand boy again. Luciana, is he courting you? - ...Just think! An errand boy. -Well, he's not that ugly! - But he's still an errand boy! - Elena's right! Stop it! You're one of those who stare straight at people on the street! Well, one day I'll catch someone... I won't to end up like Marta! - How did she end up? - Now she's his concubine! -What!?! - A concubine! Those who live together and don't get married! I think she's right. At least they can't fire her! Luciana, what do you prefer? Being a concubine or waiting to get married? I've got to get off! Luciana, where are you going? What's she doing, is she mad? I can't understand the reason why we didn't go by train! Where is the handbag? - Mum, what's going on here? -The orange flowers! - Dad, what a party pooper you are! - ...we wouldn't have been on time! It would have been much better... I'm telling you! - You look great! - But why did you leave the van there! Nobody will see it, so don't exaggerate. I'm a bag of nerves! -Why aren't you wearing your waistcoat? - But I'd die from the heat! - So we could have saved 3,000 lire, right? -What are we waiting for? We're ready, the reverend's waiting for us! - And the witnesses? -They should already be here. ...you're definitely sure everything's proper? - Dad, let's not start again, alright! Of course Mr. Gino, I did the same thing. -You couldn't wait? -Well, I could. But.. my woman... - But because here, thank God... Look! The reverend knows that Renzo's in the same condition as me. We don't speak about the young lady. -Whereas you try to speak about her. But Gino, the priests will immediately understand that the women don't want to have babies, and since the sacrament isn't valid ... At least the jacket! Luciana, Giuseppe Antonicelli and Mario...... what's your last name? - I'll say it to the priest! Relax! - Nice to met you You're sure they'll say nothing to nobody? Who cares? They're from the other side of the city! So let's go because I've got overtime at 2! What a wedding! They didn't even let them off overtime! - If they can't marry, why not wait? - And if something happens? You see who's thinking negatively?! And then the marriage isn't valid if... Dad's not at all well, all he does is repeat the same words! What's he got, arteriosclerosis! How wonderful! - Luciana, do you want a pill? - No, no nothing. It'll pass! I ate an ice cream, it must have been that. Look, the book-keeper! Is it you that asked to swop shifts today? - Yes, the dentist... - But the public dentist isn't open at 2. I've already been treated by my father's dentist friend. -Why? - Because he's good! - And the drill? Doesn't it scare you? - Sure! Those medical types...and women. - Molar? -What? Ah.. yes, one of those big ones... Let's have a little look. Very good, go on. What time do you get off tonight? - Seven. -Very good. Careful...he must be one of those... Ask Marisa! He looks like a silly sausage, but that's exactly the kind who are wolves! - Unbelievable! -Well, somebody says its true... ...he seems like a real wolf! - Ask Pinuccia.. - Pinuccia? - Oh, I'll just say: Be careful! As if I'm waiting for him! I pray every night! - Pinuccia? ...swear it's true! - I swear! - Didn't you say you were going out? - It's late, and it seems like dad... Well? What's the matter? She asks if we want to go out You can go out, I'll wait and play cards with my friends. - Couldn't you not play tonight? -Why's that? We've given up the room, can't we even play a game now? Yes, but I'm talking tonight you could go over to the others'. - But why? - Dad! You'll never understand anything! She's the only man in the house! That's how they treat you! Thank God you're here as well now! Here they are! Gino, tell them what we said to the caretaker. - But who believes I'm one of your lodgers? - They said we cost too much! Don't be cheeky, you! I really want to see who sticks their nose in our house. Good evening! -What's the matter? - Nothing. Stomach ache. The ice-cream that I have eaten this morning. Shall we go out? - Are you crazy? -What else is there? -Well...Couldn't we go into the other room? -What? I'm embarrassed! - Good evening everyone, we're going out! - ...Good evening. -They made up their minds, eh? -They had to. -They're in the room! - Damn! My stuff! It'd be better if I got my stuff out of there now... -When are you going out in the morning? - I start work an hour before her. So I'll leave the shoes here. Ah! Talking of which... Otherwise it'll start again... Marisa! It's dad's medicine... Aren't you going to sleep? There's boxing on the telly! Down with everybody! I should have told Gigi to find a new room, and kept the old one, or found another one myself. A boarding house would be better than here. Right, and 20,000 lire would fly out the window every month. Well, at least for these first days. No, this means a little sacrifice, but we're together, and that's what counts. As we've finished paying the furniture, we'll buy a flat. And we'll have our honeymoon while we're on holiday from work. A late honeymoon's really chic, you know? And then there are Sundays. And Sunday...Wait a minute. How wonderful... - Still feel bad? - No, nausea. -What kind of nausea? - I feel really scared, you know? - Bloody hell.... - Come on, it's not certain. -You're really scared? - Yes. - You told your mum? - Are you mad? They think that I... ...well, we got married today... what do you want them to think? - But if it's true, what will we do? - I don't want to think about it tonight. Ah, good. I was just about to tell you. A little fresh air. Ah..what lovely air! But what's that thing there? -You've never seen it turned on? - Not me! You'll get used to it. And we got a bargain, they're giving 10% off all their products. - And when does it turn off? - Never. It goes on and off till daytime. Luciana? Lilli's here and won't give me any peace, she wants to watch the tv! I'm really sorry... Renzo, tomorrow you've got to move the plug to the other room. ...My parents kept the tv here in the room. - Damn, the park's better than this! - Do me a favour: stop it! -What do you mean, 'stop it'? I wanted... ...where are you? I'm here. You're smaller than an 80 litre fridge... come here. But don't they annoy you? Shall we go out? Where? To be out late! Good idea, let's go dancing! Wonderful! So no-one will realise when we return! Sleep together will be wonderful! It's finished? - Are you alright? - Yes, sort of. - Don't drink too much, eh? - Come on, it's watered! See? She's been crying for half an hour. - Don't watch them, you busybody. - Poor thing. She's got a problem. Why don't you think about our problems instead? -We're so lucky! -You bet! Like a ship in a forest! -What? You've been drinking! - No, I'm thinking about your nausea. We said we wouldn't think about it tonight. That's enough, you've had 4, they're 600 lire. - Come on.. - No impromptu flowers, you know? -We've spent enough. They might have stolen those flowers from the cemetery! - And don't play the big man, Mr Engineer. -Yes, countess. Anyway, you'll become a book-keeper.We'll see if you play truant in evening classes. - Just tonight. - Only tonight. But no more holidays from tomorrow. - Let's go home! - Now? Now! Everyone's sleeping now! - Damn! -What? Incredible!What are they up to? - Maybe they left the light on... They're still watching the tv! I'll phone them, just watch! What'll you say to them? While they're awake I'm not going up, get it? I prefer to stay here! ...Well? Well... - Come on, behave! - Oh, not even this? On Sunday we'll get a room by the hour, I'm telling you! Sunday? Wonderful! What are you looking at? We're married! Come off it! Oh, what a great life! I thought it was you! - No drill today? - No.. He's not here? -Who? -The dentist. Or the person you call "the dentist". -Why, do you think...? I swear I asked to change shifts because I really... had to go to the... - to the dentist. - So no escapades - No sir, nothing. You're telling me you don't have a boyfriend, not even a little flirtation? Well...it wouldn't be bad. My job contract says I can't get married but... - Exactly... you have a boyfriend. - No. - No boyfriend? - No, none. - No little flirtation? - No, no. - Nothing? - Nothing. See what a lovely thing I've brought you. Bravo! May I present Ferrario the lawyer, Miss Simonetta Rosi. This young lady is one of our best employees. - I can see that! - Enrico, don't start. I vouch for him as a the lawyer, but as for the rest... You can treat him really badly. Let's have a nice swim! No, no I've just eaten, and then I was leaving. Wait a minute, while I refresh myself. - Fantastic! - Really? Well, good day! -Young lady? One moment! Where are you running off to? I've got to go, I've got to call... I've got a date with one of my girfriends. - Boyfriend? - Girlfriend. This young lady's hiding something from me... look at how you've turned red! - As I told you, I've got to go because I've... -You have a car? - No. - I'll give you a lift. -Thank you, Mr Book-keeper, you're very kind, but... alright, wait, I'm going to make a call. Act as if nothing's happened and walk behind me! - Poor Osvaldo, you're out of luck today. - I'm unlucky, dear! -You only had to say you had company. - I'm an idiot, alright? I had the impression he suspected something, - You've no idea what he's like! - But all he wanted was to have a chat! So, what shall we do? I haven't found a room nearby. Not even a hole in the wall! - So where will we go? Well, we have to find a room in the centre, or we'll stay here. I leaved the van in the parking lot, if the book-keeper sees it I will be in trouble. Trouble with the van is all we need. Alright, I'll go and move it, but let me rest a moment. Here the book-keeper's bound to see us. And then I've got to go and say hello to him, get the costume and the towel! Say hello to him, get your stuff and leave with me. We're losing our common sense! You can go with whoever you like, just don't get... married and don't get pregnant. - But since I'm married, and probably.. It's seems incredible to end up in front of the personnel manager. - So tell me, what it should be done now. - I want to go home right now, and if he wants to give me a lift that'd be fine. In the meantime you go ahead with the van. Look... you don't want the personnel manager to see you with the errand boy... You're really stupid, you know? Look! I'll introduce you to the book-keeper. - Stop rushing! Come on! Wait!! - I'm not waiting for anything, you'll see... But why are you angry, Luciana? Wait! Maybe you're right! Look, I'll see you at home! Miss Luciana! - Oh, you did it? - Ah! Congratulations! - Get out of here. -What do you want?!? - And don't be boring! - But why am I annoying you?! I told you to leave, so do it! But you'll see she'll come back soon. -We never worried about Luciana! - Oh, really? ... as long as nothing has happened... Something will happen when she gets home, two lovely slaps for sure! - A 1'300. You think it's Luciana? - Luciana's never known anybody with a 1'300. - She knows someone...damn that light! Didn't you say that she would come on her own later? Mum, you're worse than dad, you're always repeating yourself! Mum, I'm hungry! -We'll wait for Luciana!! - She's back. I saw her from the window! - Renzo, where are you going? - Gino, you tell him.. -What? - Renzo wants to give Luciana a slap! - Alright. You wanted her to get married, didn't you? So it's right that he can slap her now! Renzo! Don't make trouble! -Where are you going? - Out. If not I'd smack you in the face!! - Luciana!! Come up! - Oh, mum! Renzo, where are you off to? Stop! Renzo! You know what happened to me! He said: 'Come on! Let's go to the lakes!' I didn't know how to stop him. Then I had a great idea: I pretended to feel sick, I writhed about. If not, it would have finished badly! You and Marisa were right, he's a real... ...lets go home Renzo! - One! -Two...! Two. At least let me see which film it is! Oh...Vampires! Boring! - You used to like them. - And now they annoy me! -You're not jealous, are you?!? - Don't be ridiculous... Isn't it just great to be alone at home on Sunday... I had fear... - I was nervous! ... but you know you're an idiot! Jealous of the book-keeper, get away! So what does this book-keeper want? I told you...but even if he was Marlon Brando he wouldn't matter to me at all... Because you're my wolf! - Sure I am... You know, though I was forced to say I felt sick, I really did feel sick. - Again?!? Well.. badly no, but not that good either... But maybe it's not that thing, since I never feel really really sick! - And how are you now? - Fine. We did well to come here, at least we're alone for a while. Pull me up, now the vampire frees itself!!! How wonderful! Here's the wolf!! - How's your health, young lady? - Good, thanks. I'm glad. I heard you weren't that well. Actually, I didn't feel well yesterday, but now I... - And you've never suffered from dizziness? - No... Could you be expecting? Meaning that I can tell nothing, but it could be the first month of pregnancy, and so... -You're saying...? - No, young lady, it's you who's got to say it. So, it's completely impossible? - I'm not married. - I know, but that doesn't mean... So, you don't think you could be expecting. - No, no, no! I don't think so. It's better if you're not. It could be a digestive disturbance. It's been very hot lately. I want you to come back in 10 days, we'll see if it's worth you visiting one of my colleagues. As you know, I'm obliged to inform the personnel manager about all pregnancies. - I know, but as I'm not pregnant... - Agreed, as far as you are so sure. Come back in 10 days. If everything's alright we'll think about a tonic cure, alright? I'll write on the report: to be seen again on July 24th. A lot can happen in 10 days. - Aren't you coming to eat? - I don't feel like it. -What's up? Why won't you eat? - I'm not hungry.What's wrong with that? -You've argued again, eh? - No. - She'll be tired, she won't feel well... - Luciana's always been fine! And today she doesn't feel well. She was sick in the factory too! What are all these secrets! If she feels sick, she'll tell us. Luciana... she's got the idea... she's... well, yes.... I don't like this! So it means you're married... Marisa, go and make a cup of camomile tea for Luciana. What's camomile tea got to do with it, she says she's pregnant? What happened, happened. What can we do, go to court? We're married. And it's not even certain. Certain or not, it's clear you're a ignorant scoundrel, because now it's goodbye job, goodbye plans and everything else. - Dad! Let's wait before getting angry.. -Wait for what? So, may we know how far you're gone? - If it's true, a month... - Congratulations! I'm not saying anything. I'm sure you'll lose Luciana's job, with a kid to support. Of course, if there was something to be done... My dear child, why didn't you tell me first? Have you ever tried a hot mustard bath? Or a boiling foot-bath? We can get some advice from Aunt Armida... I'm not pregnant, I'm not pregnant!! - Honestly? We were scared for no reason. Everything's alright! We'll be really careful from now on. Well done darling, I'm really happy! Leave me alone, idiot! Go away! - Come with me! - And them? I said come with me. You too. Listen, Mr Book-keeper, I was joking! We don't know each other, get it? What does it matter if they fire you? Better to lose your wages than mine. And then they must give you a leaving-bonus! Please take a seat, young lady. So, it was the first time he harassed you. Yes, I had hardly ever seen him! I told you Mr Book-keeper, I was joking, indeed...a mistake. - I was there getting the boxes and ... - Shut up! You're fired without notice! - ...So fire me. - Listen, if you fire him without notice I resign! - ...Because I don't think it's fair. -What? Do you? He was wrong to play a joke, but the last thing I want is to cause such harm! - He might have a family... -Young lady, you are too kind. You'll have your bonus money, but you'll never set foot in here again, get it? Now you can go and thank the young lady for being so generous. Out, out! Out! And you didn't want him to be fired? If it was up to me he'd never find another job, the lout. He'd learn to keep his hands to himself. I'll write his references! - Renzo! -Where are you going?!? Renzo, come here! I'm bored. I can't go on taking this poison every day. Come here you! You know what I'm going to say Mr Book-keeper? This lout... is my husband, so now you can fire me as well. We could stay spinsters to keep you company at swimming pools on Sundays! We'll both be unemployed, but with two leaving-bonuses... We'll get a foot on the housing ladder, and we'll buy the fridge as well! -Well, there's plenty of time for the fridge... - Get out of here! -With pleasure! A little courage is all it takes! When I realised that with the money from the two bonuses we could get a home, I could have fainted for joy! How wonderful! You'll see, it'll all be fine. Hey, you! - Oh, it's you. - Beppe!! I thought it was you! Did I see you here yesterday morning? I live near here now. I'm in the new co-operative housing. - Ah, nice houses! -Well, a bit far from work. I'm not at the biscuit factory any more. I'm a nightwatchman. 6,000 more, you know? Lucky you! But how do you sleep in the day? It's not for life! I'll take the book-keeping diploma within a year! - And your wife? -The distance from work's a lot for her too. I go to bed, my wife gets up. - Means she keeps the bed warm for you! - Kids? - It's still early days! -We've got to pay for the house and stuff. -You're right. It's gone really well for you. -Well, yes it has! Ciao, then? - Ciao - Raining? - Not now. They've already turned it on, wonderful! You found out nothing about the course? I went to the school last night, but it's hopeless. Morning lessons start at 8, and who can start then? -The afternoons? -They start too late. - So you'll miss the year. -Well, I hope not. I'll to study on my own and then I could have private lessons. - It's important, love. I know, I know. - It's gone so well so far. We're so lucky. In two years the loans will be sorted. 23 months. I did the calculation... - Give it to me, please! Did you calculate the installments for the cooker? Yes. If we don't go on holiday this year we'll pay it off in 20 months. - Don't we want to go to Venice? -Venice won't go away! Are you mad? Do you know the time? I'll make you late! What's open? I feel a draught! Nothing, I just aired the room! I'll close it now. Sunday... we'll spend all of Sunday in bed. How wonderful! See you this evening! Wait a minute!Wait!
