La Dolce Vita Page #10

- Did you see him lately?

Can you tell us about it?

No. I was his friend,

but we didn't see each other often.

I don't know anything.

Anything at all.

- 3. 10 meters.

- 3. 10 meters.

Foggia!

Did you notice if there was

something strange in his life?

- I don't know, financial problems?

- No, I don't think so.

Had he ever shown suicidal behavior?

- I don't know.

- Well...

...please stay available,

we may need you later.

Mondini, get the gun.

- A cheerful person, full of love

and attention for the family he adored.

His was almost a morbid adulation.

I:

The weapon used, a brand-new

revolver, type Browning.675...

...was found near his body, which lies

in an armchair next to the fireplace...

...in a peculiar position.

I'm done. I'll see him later

at the morgue with the children.

Fine. Thanks.

- Can we cover him again, doctor?

- Yes.

De Angelis.

Are they done

with the pictures in there?

Do you want to go

into the children's room?

This way.

Doctor, it's 12:
15. I must go to

the bus stop and meet his wife.

I'll take someone from the building,

because I don't know her.

- I'll come.

- Thank you.

- Let's go right away.

- Yes.

Polacci, when you're done,

meet me at the bus stop.

If someone comes here from the station,

call me at the office.

Guys, some compassion, please.

At least this one time.

Try to talk to your colleagues,

they're really exaggerating now!

Maybe he was just afraid.

You're talking about Steiner?

Had he been threatened?

No, not in the way you mean.

Maybe he was afraid of himself...

...of us all.

When is she coming?

That's her.

- Please come with me.

- Yes.

What? Did you mistake me

for an actress?

What are you doing?

What do you want?

Enough, guys. Get lost!

- Hi, Marcello. What is it?

- Good morning. I'm Mr. Lucenti.

- We must speak with you alone.

- Alone? Did something happen?

No. Be so kind as to follow us, please.

My car is right here.

- Why?

- There's been a tragedy.

- What happened?

- Don't be scared, ma'am.

- The children!

- Follow us, please. Get lost, guys!

What happened?

Marcello, you have to tell me!

You'll see them later. They're hurt.

They're just hurt. But I promise you...

- Enough!

- What do you mean, hurt? Tell me!

Get out of here!

Marcello!

- Stop, will you?

- What do we do about the key?

You guys didn't want to wait.

Go in with the car.

Break the gate open, come on!

Hey, get out of there!

Go ahead. It's open.

Oh, look at the colors! How wonderful.

What are you doing? Are you playing?

Carlo, come and see.

Marcello is going to break the glass!

One, two, three!

To Nadia's health and her

newfound freedom!

To the annulment of her marriage!

To the annulment of her husband

and of everything else!

Thanks! Thanks to everyone!

This marriage experience brings me

back to my old friends filled with desire.

- Kind of like being a virgin again.

- It's a wonderful sensation.

You have to be married first

to appreciate it. Right, my love?

- Be quiet. I'm confessing Lucia.

- I want to hear too.

Put on "Jingle Bells"!

Hey, are you two done confessing?

Today, making love

privately is insulting!

Here they are!

Don't make fun of them, because

one of them is the senator's lover.

Great! Beautiful!

Who brought these guys?

These two will be dead

before Christmas.

Say, weren't you a writer once,

a man of letters, am I right?

I announce that I left literature

and journalism.

I'm a publicity agent.

And with great satisfaction.

It's true that to survive one has to write

anything, but this is pretty bleak.

Listen, everyone:

"He has a Greek profile,

but the modernity of his expression...

...brings him next to the most modern

actor of our time, Paul Newman."

- Marcello, you're a slime!

- Listen...

...why don't you tell us what you'd

be capable of doing for an interview.

- You wish I'd write that for you, huh?

- Oh, how awful. You'd ruin my career.

Lf, instead of 250,

I gave you 300,000 lira a month...

...what would you write about me?

- That you're Marlon Brando.

- And if I gave you 400,000?

- John Barrymore.

- And a million lira?

First give me the million.

You don't know anything!

Go to school!

What kind of joke is that?

If he's hurt, you'll have to support him.

I saw you trip him!

You're a real a**hole, though.

You people invited us here.

Now we're taking our things and

we're leaving. Great party you'll have!

I've never seen such boring people.

Our guest of honor is bored,

she needs to have a good time.

For once, you're right.

Why don't you strip.

Oh, yeah, your intellectual chest

isn't sexy.

If you put some Middle Eastern

music on, I can do a great striptease.

No, give me a break,

we've all seen you naked.

Come on, let me do it.

I didn't see you.

But I propose the panther do it.

Here's Caterina,

who's going to strip for us.

No, too much technique.

She's a professional.

- I'll go back to eating my chicken, then.

- No.

If the guest of honor is bored,

why doesn't she do it?

With great pleasure.

Now we're talking!

Nadia, if you really do it,

I swear I'll stop smoking!

Put on "Patricia."

I'll turn off the lights.

- Come on, put on "Patricia."

- Great, "Patricia" it is.

An inaugural

and commemorative striptease...

...performed by our Nadia,

to baptize her new life.

- One always has to set a good example.

- It's idiotic.

- That's why I'm doing it.

- Nadia, your mink stole!

That guy will be at your place with

the money ready in no time. Believe me.

At least, I don't remember.

What did the lady say?

I didn't understand.

She asked you if you like me.

That's mine, Nadia! You owe it to me.

I want that.

Really, Marcello, you got

a great deal with this car.

It's a wonderful car, you'll see.

It's a beautiful thing.

Give me a hand.

Isn't that enough? Can't you see

you're not entertaining anyone?

You starting already?

I'm entertaining myself.

You don't have the guts

to go all the way. You're scared.

- Might as well stop now.

- Oh, no? You'll see. You'll see!

Nadia, you shouldn't have

taken off your bra yet.

The bra, it's the second to last item.

Am I right?

Good! Congratulations!

Don't take off the slip. Cover yourself

with the stole and then pull it off.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

- She's not kidding, then.

- Good girl.

Ruggero!

Ruggero, are you serious?

You're not a sport.

You don't deserve a woman like this.

And now, Nadia, take off the stole!

Come on, Nadia. This is it.

We want to see.

How did her husband

let her divorce him?

- She's remarkable, isn't she?

- She's marvelous. She's really hot.

Oh, God, Riccardo is here!

Hey, the host is here.

- Hey, sons of b*tches!

- Hi, Riccardo!

When someone like Nadia

gets rid of a rich husband...

...this is the least we can do.

What do I care about her annulment?

I have enough trouble on my own.

And I don't want photos,

I don't want publicity.

But on the phone,

you said we could come. Kiss.
