-Alfredo!

-God bless you both, fearless youth.

Your faith is with us

like a presage of love and affection,

a haven of prolific happiness together.

That by the bride's

moral pledge of fidelity

shall continue this noble race

touched by that divine light.

A light that shall guide from strife

each new child in his walk through life.

She's too pretty.

Far too pretty for a wife.

She's more than a wife.

Ada's a mistress.

-Mistress, my ass.

-Oh!

-She won't be any good in bed.

-Regina, what a way to talk.

l give her one year.

Alfredo. Alfredo, she's so beautiful.

Enchanting, really.

How delightful, this party.

l was so glad

when l heard that we were invited.

You're really a piece of sh*t.

You know, l hate you.

l detest you.

l should be in your place.

May l?

A souvenir.

May l?

Wait.

You will look so pretty,

like a bride.

l put my bet on Attila!

What are you talking about?

Falcone will win.

Attila. Attila will beat him.

-Come on, come on!

-Come on, Falcone!

lf you pin him,

half of my money is yours.

Come on, Falcone, you can do it!

Attila!

My bride.

Look at Attila's gloves.

They're beautiful.

-You'd like me to get you a pair?

-Papa, if you do, l'll be good. l swear.

And a black shirt, too?

Signor Alfredo,

together we salute you

and your new bride.

Get off the table!

Send them away.

l can't stand them. l can't stand them!

Look, don't be upset.

These are only our neighbors,

the same as always.

The only difference is

the color of their shirts.

That's what l mean.

lt makes all the difference.

They're like our relatives.

We have to invite them to our wedding.

After this, we won't have to see them

for another 10 years.

Oh, 100 years. Promise.

A thousand years, l promise.

-ls it all one family?

-Yes, all Dalcos.

Before the war,

there were twice as many.

Who is that beautiful woman by the fire?

Oh, that's Rosina.

That's Olmo's mother.

Where is Olmo?

l looked for him.

l haven't seen him all day.

And Ottavio?

l'll never forgive him.

Fine friends we have.

Go on. Go on. Go.

-Rosina, would you like some confetti?

-Oh, thank you, signora. Thank you.

l knew him when he was so high.

So long ago.

lt was almost dawn

when we stopped the trucks

in front of that tavern,

and saw the boys from Ferrara.

l swear to you, we couldn't...

Glorious day, Serafini. Glorious.

-Regina.

-To us, gentlemen.

And then they started yelling,

''Let's march on to Rome,''

and so on, you know.

Just remember something.

You keep well away from Ada.

Who'd dare to touch

your precious wife, huh?

You think she'll stand living here

with the pigs, the sh*t, the Dalcos?

Attila.

Shut the door.

Shut the door!

lt is not the tradition of this household

to have our staff members,

together with family members,

mixing on the dining room table.

lf you have the irresistible urge

to express yourselves

in this manner again,

you will do it outside the house.

ls that clear?

This is what you were waiting for.

To become the padrone.

God only knows

how long you have been waiting.

And another thing,

l know you look impressive

in that uniform,

but my wife doesn't want to have

any Black Shirts in the house.

Many women are...

Come on, Alfredo.

He's not educated, l agree,

but listen to me.

Hang on to him. He's your watchdog.

Well, where were you, watchdog,

when they broke into my father's file?

No.

No.

What happened to the gun

he kept in there?

Must have been a communist.

They don't even have respect

for the dead.

You and your bride

can rest without fear.

The gun will be returned

to its proper place.

Never mind the gun.

You're here to keep Regina

as far away from my wife as possible.

Send me away.

-Why don't you send me away?

-No, l want you here.

You're part of the inheritance.

This is the prettiest house...

Attila, look at me.

lt's an arm-wrestle.

ls it true you win all the arm-wrestles?

And when l think

how fond l am of this house.

Regina, it's been decided.

We're all moving into the city.

They have a right to be alone.

And you tell me just like that?

l'm not coming. l'll stay here.

-Oh! Look who's here.

-Ottavio.

lt's a little late. Your wedding present.

My wedding present.

Ottavio!

Thank you.

-His name is Cocaine.

-Cocaine.

-Beautiful.

-Thank you, Uncle.

He's beautiful.

His name is Cocaine.

l want to ride him.

Oh, the stirrup.

One, two, three, up.

What a stunning gift.

How magnificent.

Come in here, you coward.

Now, you make love to me here,

-in this house.

-l'll make love to you.

-l'll make love to you...

-lt's my house, too.

-...so hard.

-l'm part of the inheritance.

Didn't you know?

The gentry have a special place

to masturbate.

Alfredo and l used to do it here.

You're a beast!

l felt so sorry for you.

Standing there, taking the insults.

At heel beside your master.

-l'm his watchdog.

-Then bite!

Bark!

Don't let him treat me that way.

He cannot treat me that way!

What kind of a man are you?

Who are you?

Never bite the hand that feeds you

so long as you need to be fed.

But Alfredo is rotten! He's rotten!

Alfredo's your cousin.

Look at the b*tch.

Just married and she's running away.

Regina,

l love you.

l gain strength

from insult and humiliation.

l gain strength.

And ltaly is my master.

l serve only her.

That is what we marched for.

The rich, they take

and they steal and they...

They eat.

They eat well and they are rotten.

We fascists,

we eat crumbs and we gain strength.

Alfredo Berlinghieri,

you,

and all parasites,

will pay the bill

for the fascist revolution.

And the bill will not be cheap.

The bill will not be cheap.

Everybody will pay.

Everybody, rich and poor,

gentry and peasant,

they will pay with money

and land and bread

and cows and cheese

and blood and sh*t!

You really love me?

You love me?

Will you love me forever?

Attila?

Regina, l love you forever.

-Here are your gloves.

-My gloves.

Our best man.

Have you ever played

the wedding game?

Have you ever played

the wedding game?

Whoa! My net! Keep still!

Keep still! You'll rip my net.

You're scaring him.

You'll rip my net.

lt costs money. Keep still.

Get me out of here!

What are you waiting for?

lf you don't keep still for a minute...

Take it easy and you'll be free again.

Well? Come on!

Can you... Can you help me?

-What is this net doing here?

-lt's a trap, a trap for brides.

Do you catch many?

You're the first.

-And the last.

-Help me down.

-ls all this land ours?

-All yours.

l have a feeling l'm going to like it here.

l used to think l hated the country.

Oh, l love the smell of earth.

That's dried sh*t.

-What's in there?

-No, no!

No!

My birds are in there.

What are you doing?

Help me up now.

They were all at the party today,

-except you.

-Yes, except me.

Alfredo thinks of you

as a real friend, you know that.

Yes, l know.

l know, but we're different.

So perhaps

you're not such good friends.
