-Stay away until you're sure it's safe.

-Don't worry about the house.

-Good luck, Olmo.

Here, Olmo, take this.

Goodbye. Be careful.

We'll see you soon.

Don't let them get you, Olmo.

Good luck, Olmo.

Signora Ada, l have a new story for you.

-And today it's a true story.

-Wait. Wait. Wait.

What happened was

Attila wanted to sell Olmo.

-Sell Olmo?

-Yes.

Attila bought a new tractor for the farm

and was showing off.

And so then he said

horsemen are finished,

and if it'd be of any use,

he'd sell Olmo along with the horses.

-Nobody helped Olmo?

-Yeah, they all did.

And then you know what happened?

lt began to rain.

-What?

-Yeah, it rained horse manure.

Horse manure, all over Attila.

His nose, his eyes. All over.

-Even on his bald head.

-On Regina, too?

No, but they'd have gotten her, too,

had she been there.

Then they massaged all the

horses' asses and got a lot of fresh sh*t.

And after that,

Attila smelled like a pigsty.

But then, all of a sudden,

the farmers were scared,

and Olmo left on his bicycle.

-Olmo ran away?

-Yeah.

Attila will come with his fascists.

Everyone cried when Olmo left, signora.

But he wanted to go. He was free.

Don't you understand?

-No, he was sad.

-Oh, you're stupid.

You're in a fog. He was happy.

Poor Olmo had to leave his daughter

and had to leave his house.

He wasn't glad at all.

What do you know? You know nothing.

-You're leaving, too, signora?

-l'm leaving, yes. And for good.

Everybody's going.

l won't need these. You can have them.

This, too. Here, take this.

And this.

And this.

This.

Here, take this.

Signora,

could l have a kiss, too?

Come here.

Anthony!

Anthony!

Attila!

Attila!

Attila!

Come down here immediately!

Anthony, there are books

in the other room.

Right away.

Attila!

Signor Alfredo, you've heard about it.

The bastard's run off to...

Who asked you to come here?

Who gave you the right to do this?

Right? He's a communist organizer.

l don't care if he's a communist or not,

he's a friend of mine.

A friend of yours?

That friend stole this gun

from your father 15 years ago. Look.

lt's taken you a long time to find it.

l would have found it sooner

if l'd been allowed to do my job.

You've done your job. Your services

are no longer needed here.

What?

Listen, everybody, l fired him.

l fired the foreman.

Can you hear me? l fired Attila.

Ada, it's me.

l'm sorry. l know l shouldn't be here,

but l have something

very important to tell you.

l know you're going to be very happy.

l've done it. l've fired Attila. lt's over.

-She's gone, padrone. Gone.

-Gone?

-Where did she go?

-She won't return anymore.

-Where did she go?

-No more.

-Where did she go?

-No more.

-Where did she go?

-No more.

She said you'd understand

if l dressed up in this.

Swim!

Take a look! Take a look!

You're all gonna end up like that!

Like sewer rats!

Go on, scream, you sh*t!

Cover his face in it!

Orio!

Orio!

Oh, he's dead.

Breasts. Unrighteous breasts.

-You filthy rotten fascist!

-Cover yourself, you dirty b*tch.

-Cover up!

-Here, fire it, bastard!

Pig! Bastard! Pig!

All right, turn back.

Temesio!

-Temesio, does God exist?

-No!

Attila!

Does that bastard Mussolini exist?

Temesio?

-Does ll Duce exist?

-No!

-The Duce doesn't exist!

-Kill him.

You move and l'll kill you.

Attila. Neither do you exist, Attila.

Stop that whistling. Stop it.

l can kill all of you whenever l want to

so you can whistle till your mouths rot.

l don't give a damn for any of you.

Anthony.

Let's get out of here.

You're sh*t! Scum!

You're a disgrace to the ltalian nation.

You are the sh*t of ltaly!
