Ernesto Page #2

---

we should better turn the sack

I'm sorry, but I must warn you...

not to tell anyone

I'm not stupid.

I know what one can tell

It's dangerous.

You can end up in jail

And then one dies of shame

I'm not fool.

I closed all the doors first

If I don't finish,

who knows what the boss will think

Is it true that in the Army...

...they look up there...

and reject those...

Who told you that?

Does it still hurt?

It does

Next time I'll bring something...

to keep it from hurting.

They sell it in pharmacies

They sell medicine for such things?

No, it's not for that

It's for certain ailments.

They are cones

The slide in and melt

...and then it doesn't hurt

What are they made of?

Out of cocoa butter

Butter?

...cocoa butter... cocoa yet!

...my stamp collection...

...my stamps...

"When with mothballs you tease"

"On your stamp I sneeze"

Naturally, it hurts

I would cry also

Stamps...

...without edges are worth very little

You need a sense of humor, not only...

when pulling a prank...

but also when you're the object of one

Come, Ernesto

Take this

It's a gift

I know you always liked it

I am sorry. Be good now...

I didn't mean to...

Don't cry

...want me to cry too?

I'm going

Don't forget. Be firm

They have the money. Collect it

And don't take the tram.

Use your long legs!

We'll never finished here. Move!

Let's go!

To work! Move!

Driver!

Is this a tram?

Good. Take me to Salita Maria Teresa

I don't have money for the rent

There's a lot of work,

but very little profit

...barely enough for a square meal

I can't go back empty-handed

Wilder has more than enough money

I could have closed shop already

...where it not for them

I know, you say it each time

...and never pay

How can you, a socialist...

collect money for someone with exploits...

the workers

Yeah, I have heard it before...

Well then let's screw him

He is a dirty capitalist

Hail... Socialism!

You have disappeared since you left school

Where have you been hiding?

I have been busy

One thing after another...

I have business to attend to...

with little time to spare

There is no doubting the supremacy...

of Italy over Austria:

on land, the barsaglieri

...on the sea,

the DUILIO battleship

Lissa Island?

We were betrayed

Forget it, let's drink

Again?

Really, I'm glad we met

We never see each other

...besides, I'm going to London

Today I collected a few rents

They always paid me.

It's a question of style

Since I had taken over,

Wilder caches in promptly

You're doing bookkeeping?

You were a dunce in school!

School is one thing, life is another

Are you coming on my boat

this Thursday?

Your boat?

My father's graduation gift

A sailboat, a sloop

Good old Ernesto

Did you ever...

...with girls?

Oh, lots of times

If you only knew...

I'm afraid, duty calls

...oh, well...

That's life!

Don't. Let us they care of it

I work... so I pay

Good old Andrea!

I never did it with girls!

Never!

What are you looking at?

What is it?

The boss sent me,

to see Ernesto about...

the invoices

Come in, please

I will wait...

No, come in, please

Nice. I nice house

Thank you

But aren't you...

Of course...

Ernesto often spoke about you

He's a good boy

Come in...

I'm disturbing you

Not at all, really

...I'll call Ernesto

...I'll be right back

There is someone from the company

What a mess here!

Oh, mama, why all the fuss?

Let me straighten your bed...

...at least

Please, come up

Come, put your shirt on

I'll only be a minute

Sit down

You were feverish, put it on

Leave me alone

The boss told me you were sick

Sick? Nearly dead! The doctor...

He is not here for that

The boss?

He can't find the invoices for the week

...and asks if you have them

...he is angry

You're so absent minded

Searched my desk?

Mama, my jacket... my jacket!

What manners!

You can give that shylock his invoices

I can't understand

why he talks that way about Wilder

...he doesn't mean it

My mother sides with money

Offer him some wine

No, don't bother, I'll be leaving

Oh no, please

Why are you so harsh with your mother?

I imagined her...

...differently.

You spoke in such a way...

It's not that I don't like her...

but at times she is impossible

What's new at the warehouse?

Nothing in particular. Just that...

It's lonely without you. Very

I'm all better now. Tomorrow...

I'll get up

I'll take a bath,

and right after lunch...

I'll go to the warehouse...

and do whatever you like

Cheers!

It's good

Only, it's...

It's very strong

Oh, the boss...

...said to give you this

Remember the cocoa!

Let's dry your hair well

You're healthier than before!

And yet...

You ran a high fever

Now, all you must think of is work

Who are you?

What are you doing?

I am the apprentice

Mr. Wilder personality hired me

Listen...

Will you listen?

You talk, talk and conclude nothing

All you do is talk

Take this in the warehouse

Give it to Mr. Ernesto

and buy yourself a cigar

That's it. Cesco!

He's a good man.

I'll bring you back half a cigar

Keep at it!

What is it?

Like I promised. The cone

I thought it was chocolate

Do you like sweets?

Yeah, they are my passion

You're my passion

How did it feel?

Neither good, nor bad

You want to?

Like it?

I want to do what you do

To whom?

To you

You shouldn't with a man

But with a boy,

before he grows a beard...

and it goes out with girls

I am a grown man with a moustache

Shave it off

It would be the same.

I would still be a man

Let's try

What a mess

How disgusting!

Look at that...

...you're such a busy body

They are warms for the blackbird

You need a barber

No, you will go today, before dinner

I will go when I please

Mama...

Mama!...

I didn't mean it. I'll go right away

Even you mistreat me, it's too much

I was joking

...I can't open my mouth...

Don't cry, please

If I had married a Jew...

...we would be better off

And I would have a sailboat,

all for myself

Oh, you come here to study!

You don't?

Me? I'm going to the barber...

it is quicker through here

Look...

...you pay her a visit

Only one flourin.

Go on. Take the leap

For you it is a game...

but prostitutes are the victims

of a bourgeois society

You look like an Indian prince

Don't put your hands...

...on his hair

I'll take care of him myself

Your uncle Giovanni came by yesterday

He said that...

...you're a socialist

Yes, to spite him, if nothing else

He hates socialists

The violin...?

...do you still play?

I have made incredible progress

I am going to be a great virtuoso

No, not that junk

...not for Ernesto

Oh, look how nice

Perfect. Thank you

Your chin is getting fussy

If you would seat still,

I'll shave you

It's a real bear... needs cutting

"A boy can do it only before..."

"he grows a beard"

Ah, Ernesto has grown up!

He is a man

Remember when he was little?

He was a darling child

...full of curly hair

Good boy, you came back

It was about time

You want me?

Well?...

What are you doing,
