Good idea!

Come here, dissolute!

Will you give me 100 lire?

- 100 lire?

- Yes, give them to me.

Me too I'll be on TV tomorrow.

- oh yes? And why?

- Give me 100 lire.

Yes, I'm searching, my dear.

Be patient, just one moment.

- Give them to me, I need them.

- Yes, there.

Miss, did he arrive?

Is he here too?

I don't know, there are so many.

Come out, criminals.

- Take me in your arms.

- Slowly.

I'm hungry!

Pleased to meet you, madam.

But who are you?

What a nice Christmas tree.

Look how big it is!

My girlfriend!

Don't bite my ears.

Why don't you build the hotel

near the station?

I don't want to have a bath,

I want the crme caramel!

No, I will give you a bath tonight.

Dissolute!

I could start crying for anger.

Because it's disgusting, madhouse,

a circus.

the dwarfs, the transvestites...

And then what's this admiral?

I didn't understand.

They say he'll be acting with us.

Us, who?

Pippo did not come.

I'm crazy for pizza.

He's not here yet!

Who will I dance with, then?

He's not a fool!

I shouldn't let you persuade me.

I shouldn't have come.

I might have run away tonight,

you know.

Olivoil?

Think about it.

I'll go home.

I leave everything and

they'll have to go on without me!

They'll make the admiral dancing.

In 30 seconds!

The bell is going to ring!

No sedative! Who wants to calm!

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

Now I'll watch tv for a while

and then I'll sleep.

All right, say bye from me.

Goodnight.

Yes, yes, bye.

cavalier Fulvio Lombardoni's pasta!

Put your hand on the tap.

Now the sauce, well done.

And now taste it, think about it, reflect.

Come on, only 27 seconds are missing!

Who's your favourite?

- Carmela!

- Mine is that girl.

The one who's sensitive to the cold.

3 hectograms corn flour.

3 hectograms butter

eggs.

It's this one, it's this one!

Here's our winner.

Miss Carmela.

- How could you guess?

- I did dream about my poor mother.

- Bravo.

- She said I was going to win a lot of money.

It's a lot, yes!

20 milions. Say hello to the mayor.

Hurry, Time is finishing.

Come on, come on!

Now we're saying bye

using our password:

Spritzsugo

and life becomes a "paciugo".

- Goodbye...

- F***...!

- Who is it?

- Someone who wants to sleep!

Eh, no!

Who is it?

Sir, I can't sleep!

It's like being at the airport!

It's all right,

but I have to sleep too.

Is that you?

When did you arrive?

I told them to call me.

And now let's go to sleep.

- Yes, sure.

- Tomorrow morning.

What's up?

Amelia...

I didn't recognize you!

Nothing, nothing! Goodnight.

The bus will leave in 10 minutes.

- The two Dalla.

- The bathroom.

Brigitte Bardot.

Marlene Dietrich.

Is there a porter, please?

- Reagan.

- Here I am.

- You're not dressed like a cow-boy?

- Where should I get the clothes?

It's all right, we'll give them to you.

Good morning. The director's assistant,

Mr. Fiorenzo, where is he?

- Laurentina?

- What?

- This lady!

- Which lady? Ohhh!

- What do you want?

- I didn't get a bathroom.

No more rooms with bathroom left.

- So how will I have a bath?

- You won't. Woody Allen withouth bath.

- Where should I bring the costumes?

- To the studio!

And our act,

When will we do the rehearsal?

Miss, this is our tune,

where are they playing it?

There

You don't know anything about tap,

little child.

When were you born?

Then!

When great Fred was dancing tap

you were still pissing in your bed.

You'll say that now I'm the one

who pisses in his bed. So what?

Yes... actually

sometimes it happens.

The prostate!

Amelia, we're among amateurs here!

Will you tell us who you are?

Who are you?

Idiot.

I'm Pippo Botticella, nickname Fred.

- I can imitate anything.

- Bravissimo.

The train.

The typewriter.

The machine gun.

Classical and modern style.

Slow rhythms, moderate, fast,

romantic, comic, comic-romantic.

Understood?

black painted shoe...

creates a feeling!

Sure...

Now I'm a little breathless.

If you're breathless

and you piss in your bed... then shut up!

Do you know the maestro is?

Esilarantissimo 82

and Supersganascio 84.

Who f***ing cares?

Dear friends, let's have some fun.

We're all nice people!

Was that note a "C" ?

"rounded butts, happy the cock"

We're always at the same point!

Yesterday evening I got one

that wasn't bad.

I've got the score!

You're the maestro of "Ed ecco a voi".

(We are proud to present)

I am Amelia Bonetti, Ginger.

Please to meet you.

Here.

Here:

"a woman with no ass...

is like an alpine soldier with no mule".

This is the pot-pourri

of famous american tunes

arranged just for us by Maestro Fortini.

One moment, look.

You'll have to repeat this segment two

or three times.

I must have the time to go out and change my clothes.

I'll show you.

Hesitation... one, two, three...

- Corner, to the corner, please.

- What's up?

Television!

One, two, three, four... and I go.

I come back and... together...

- Do you remember?

- No.

How come!

I knew it! You've always done

this thing wrong!

I don't mean the steps...

but the expression of your face.

You smile, but it should be the opposite!

I explained a thousand times!

It's more faded.

Here the melody ends,

like in a dream. Understood?

Who asked you to do this speeching?

The maestro only wanted to know...

Maestro, aren't we rehearsing anymore?

- I guess you'll remember the steps?

- A few years have passed!

We need rehearsing!

They are really mindless!

Do you have cramps already?

You didn't even get up!

- Did they give you the money?

- Money?

Pippo Botticella! Amelia Bonetti!

- Are you Fred ?

- Ginger!

- I'm here.

- Let's go, the bus is waiting.

- Did you notice she looks like you?

- Who?

The orange dwarf, she's identical!

I come back after 30 years

and I receive such a compliment!

Wear that shoe!

You can get that too,

I only have two arms!

Where's your frac?

It's well folded,

this way it won't crease! Instead!

Instead what?

Kojak, are you Sitting bull?

- Did you start drinking again?

- Don't be blaspheme.

Everybody else on the big bus!

I'll talk with him!

Stop!

When something falls on the floor

before I get it,

I have to think about it for a moment.

Is it the same for you?

In fact it's better not to do

some of the steps. Like when you raise me.

I don't want to risk to fall on the floor.

but always in my arms.

I don't find you in such a disorder,

maybe your hair...

You're drinking a little less, are you?

Yesterday evening you were really "out"!

No, I was sleepy. I travelled with

a little child in my arms.

Do you have a son?

A woman asked me to keep her baby

while she was going to the toilet

She spent three hours there!

And the baby's weight was 20 kg!

the deputy will introduce me and I, as mayor,

will speak.

It's not needed,

you only have to bow.

It's advertising, for your hotel!

"We are proud to present"

is watched by 25 million people!

We're not interested in advertising!
