and leave me there

like an idiot.

Of course!

What do you care for me'?

You are the signora and

you'll be never alone.

But I don't have to put up

with that.

Is that clear'?

Do you understand? B*tch!

Why don't you leave me alone?

What do you want'?

I don't want anything!

Have I ever asked you'?

I don't want anything!

Perhaps we make it

until tomorrow morning.

But the machines must

run all night long.

Too expensive. Tell him that.

You can go now.

All right.

- Giovanna!

- Anna!

Do you remember

having a sister?

- It's so long ago!

- I know.

- It's such a long time.

- Sorry.

How glad I am to see you!

Have you ever visited me here'?

- No.

- What do you think?

- Eh...

- How's Giacomo?

- Well.

- As usual?

- Laughing all the time, eh'?

- Yes.

I'm sorry,

you came to talk with me.

- Yes.

- You know how it is.

What's up?

- It's that...

- There's too much noise here... come.

How glad I am to see you.

It is difficult to explain.

It seems so...

- Angela...

- Angela?

- Who's that?

- My maid.

Your maid? I have 30 workers

under me, all men,

and you've a problem

with one maid?

Be more rigorous.

Look at me.

They listen to me.

It's quite simple, try it out!

Mind the stairs.

They're slippery.

Sure, there's the problem with

the mother, but I'm used to it.

We're looking

for another house.

Sooner or later... But it's not this.

Giacomo is so...

Giacomo is Giacomo.

He's your husband and loves you.

Have patience with him.

You have a house, a husband...

you don't know what it means

be all alone.

Last night I suddenly woke up

with terrible stomach ache.

I was terrified,

I didn't know what to do.

I felt the need

of someone close to me,

someone to talk to.

Maybe it's my fault.

I swear,

I can't handle it any more.

What can I tell you'?

I'm tired.

I'm so tired.

Tired of this life, the mill, all

the dust I breathe in every day.

But I have nothing else.

Well, you have a lot of responsibility,

but also many rewards.

Maybe, but...

Is it really worth it'?

I'm asking you.

- Signorina...

- Yes?

A pasta customer is

waiting downstairs.

Yes, everything is ready.

Write a receipt.

He wants to talk to you.

Do I always have to do

everything myself?

Excuse me.

I'll be right back.

- But no, tell him to wait.

- Yes signora.

Honey, do you remember

the eternal quarrel

I had with Dad?

God rest his soul.

They say I was a headstrong.

If he could see me now!

Unfortunately,

we resemble so much.

The party has underestimated the trend

towards increased well-being

and, admittedly, towards freedom.

Try not to get confused,

the workers haven't acted yet.

Right. They were agents provocateurs,

collaborators of the Nazis...

The usual stuff.

Nostalgic Admiral Horty.

Admiral of what actually?

There's no ocean in Hungary.

Mario, I don't rely on

these rumors,

I only watch what happened.

The tanks everywhere.

I don't understand on

which side you are!

If you want to win you must promise

that people can buy the 600,

and let their children study.

Italy today is a country

with great possibilities.

- More wine, Mario'?

- No, thank you.

It is very good, but

I've enough today.

People want to buy cars,

but we can't rely on

the working class

that dreams of a 600.

- More wine'?

The ideas of the working class

aren't the same any more.

Expectations are decreased.

The war has been over

for more than 10 years

and I no longer believe it.

Times have changed.

That's just an alibi for those

who got used to the good life.

What do you say'? Since when

is living well a crime'?

Ah, well!

- We're back...

- We're going back to private interests,

Having servants, for example.

- We never used that word.

- But you've got one.

- May I serve coffee, signora'?

I'll call you when it's time,

and please don't interrupt

when people talk.

- Is that clear'?

- Yes, signora.

Excuse me, signora.

I was distracted.

- Would you like anything else?

- No, thank you.

You've changed, Giacomo.

Seriously.

- You really changed.

- Not true.

- I'm only doing my work.

- Making lots of money.

You want to fight?

I can understand a lot of things,

but not defending a fascist,

and at the same time vote

to help those in Budapest.

- I didn't vote for Perloro!

- No, you escaped!

Excuse me!

- Angela, what have you done'?

- It's nothing.

I'm so sorry.

Go back in the kitchen.

I'm so sorry.

I don't know what to say.

If you're tired,

you can go to bed.

Tomorrow is your last day.

- Hey, are you crazy?

- What's going on'?

- Anna!

- It's nothing!

She broke a plate.

I'll be back soon!

- I help Angela a little.

- Need a hand?

No, thank you.

It will go fast.

Help me collecting the pieces.

Get a bucket.

93, 94, 95, 96,

97, 98, 99, 100!

Angela, where are you'?

Angela! I don't like it here,

is so dark!

Where are you'?

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid, Angela!

Leave me!

You hurt me...

- How many hands?

- How do I know'?

- And how many now'?

- Twelve.

No, you make me fall!

Angela!

I feel dizzy. Where are you'?

No!

I'll get you! Ah!

Anna!

Enough! Enough!

If you don't want to play,

you just take off the blindfold.

Oh, my God! She is dead!

No... It's not my fault.

No... It's not my fault.

I don't know.

It's not my fault.

You I know that's not my fault.

I didn't know.

It's not my fault.

- Can't you come with me'?

- Please, it's a long trip.

You better go alone.

I'll call you tonight, okay?

- I understand.

- Good.

Signora, wait.

Don't you remember me'?

- Why do you ignore me'?

- I don't know you!

- Leave me alone!

- No, look...

Hello'? Giacomo!

How are you'?

Is everything all right'? What?

No, I'm fine.

I fell asleep in front of the TV.

Are you tired?

How so'? I agree.

Try to cheer you up, honey.

I agree. Don't worry.

Good night, love.

Good night.

- Angela, but...

- Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up, damn it!

It's okay, stop it.

Please. Ahhh!

Stay calm.

Why are you so stubborn'?

Why're you doing that?

Lights off, idiot!

Come on.

Help me!

Calm down, honey.

Come here.

- What's that?

- Try.

Don't worry.

I'm a pharmacist, it doesn't hurt.

Try it. You'll love it.

What shall we do'?

Unbind her.

Are you sure she

won't scream again?

She'll stay calm, don't worry.

You don't want your husband to know

how his mother died, right'?

Lift her petticoat.

Higher, I want to see more.

Good. Here we are,

that's enough.

And now, turn around.

Take off your clothes.

Caress yourself.

Good, bravo.

Kiss me.

- Do it, come on!

- No.

Come on...

Hello'?

Who?

No, you got the wrong number.

You're welcome.

Hello'?

No. I was still in bed.

No, I feel good.

Of course.

What? At 11:
00'? I agree.

See you at the station.

See you later, honey.

Okay. Ciao.

Lie down, please.

Enough is enough.

Now I want to f*** you.

No! - spread Your leg I s.

- No!

- Don't be stupid, nothing happens.

- You're not a virgin, are you'?

- No!

There you are!

You started this game, b*tch!
