Emma, honey...

My love. Emma.

Hurry!

Rubini! Did you bring that woman

who poisoned herself?

Giannelli, do me a favor,

don't write anything.

I'll be in trouble with the police.

- What happened?

- Nothing.

- What is her name?

- I can't tell you. Leave me alone, please.

You can come in.

Yes.

- Emma.

- Don't tire her. She needs to rest.

You can take her home

in a couple of hours.

In the meantime, see the brigadier

for the report. It's mandatory.

Emma.

Emma, why did you do it?

Tell me. Why?

The brigadier is waiting for you.

I'll be right back.

Wait there, please,

he'll be right with you.

- Sister, can I use the phone?

- Sure, go ahead.

- You come here. Come down!

- I just want to take one picture!

Get your hands off me!

Sylvia! Sylvia!

Your glasses! Your glasses!

Take your glasses off!

No! Go! Go back.

Sylvia, take your glasses off!

Come on, smile!

Do we give her the flowers first

or the pizza?

- The pizza!

- Be careful not to drop it!

Please bring your luggage

to customs,

Hurry up with this pizza,

you morons!

Stand back, stand back.

He's here...

The producer Toto Scalise

has just arrived.

He's cast the star for a historic joint

production which will be shot in color...

Is that the Swedish woman?

Oh, man, I better not see her

or I'll have to kill my wife tonight!

Long live Sweden!

- Offered to the gorgeous

Swedish actress.

Showing her wonderful teeth...

...the beautiful Sylvia bites

into a typical Italian product...

...which, with its colors and its aroma,

is as joyful as our country.

Hi, Marcello.

Great piece of meat, huh?

Toto Scalise is leading the star through

customs. A crowd of fans awaits...

Such a long trip and she's

as fresh as a rose.

Clementelli, go over to customs,

immediately.

- Did you have a good trip?

- Yes, thank you.

What a confusion!

I:

- Come on, Marcello, pass him!

- Quit it! There's nowhere to go!

Come on, pass him.

Run him over!

Is it true that every morning

you bathe in ice?

Do you ever practice yoga?

Ask her which Italian historical figure

she would like to play.

Do you like bearded men?

Would you like something to drink?

Ma'am, what do you think

about Italian actresses?

For Cinema Nuovo, do you think

Italian neorealism is dead or alive?

Do you believe in friendship

among peoples?

Come on, with this phone!

No, no. It's that I couldn't

call you before. Thanks.

What do you think I'm doing?

I'm working.

Did you take your drops?

Are you alone with her?

There are at least 50 people in here!

Swear on your mother's life!

Go on, swear it!

Yes, I swear on my mother.

Beautiful? Well, yes,

if you like American beauty.

She's like a doll, like a big doll.

Yes.

Marcello, I'll come over there

and rip your eyes out!

Marcello, why don't you

come here right now?

No, I can't.

- I want to make love.

- What?

I want to make love!

- Yes, hold on a second.

- Where shall we take her?

First to St. Peter's,

then to the Quirinale.

Not a bad idea.

Here's our Robert!

Our actress' boyfriend.

- Marcello?

- What is it? Are you going out?

No, no. I'll wait for you here.

I'll stay home all day long.

What would you like to eat?

Something light.

You want a nice plate of ravioli?

I've got everything.

I'll just go downstairs for vegetables.

Then we'll go to the movies,

or we can stay in. As you like.

Marcello, do you love me?

Don't leave her alone!

Wonderful! Let's do another one.

Stop!

She never stops for a minute!

I finished the film.

I'll be right back, okay?

- Hey, where did she go?

- She's an elevator, that one!

You're everything, Sylvia.

You know that you're everything?

You're the first woman of creation.

You're the mother, the sister,

the lover, the friend...

...the angel, the devil,

the Earth, the home.

That's what you are: The home!

Sylvia...

Why did you come here?

Go back to America, please.

What am I supposed to do now?

Oh, our Robert is also a painter.

Bravo!

I must see you.

I must talk to you at all costs.

- Who's that madman?

- Frankie Stout, a divine actor!

- Will you excuse me a moment?

- Go, sweetheart, go!

He's dancing with the lady!

Hi, darling.

- He's a good dancer.

- Sweet as sugar.

Very... Very good, yes.

- You're having banana flambe, huh?

- What else?

- The lady's shoes.

- I'll take them, I'll take them.

- I found them...

- That's fine, thank you.

Excuse me. One moment.

What do you want?

Bravo! Bravo, Frankie!

You were great!

Bravo! Very good!

Look, you made me cry. Bravo!

What class, madam.

You're divine!

Dangerous stuff, but very beautiful.

Thank you, sir!

Marcello, give me the champagne!

I don't know.

I'll bring her back immediately.

Give me the shoes. Let go.

I'll be right back.

- Why did she get upset?

- Stay here. I'll take care of it.

Here she is!

- Sylvia, the shoes!

- Marcello, what happened?

Nothing happened.

Go away!

Let's take your scooter.

Marcello, wait for us!

Great idea, Marcello!

Let's take her to Ostia.

Paparazzo, I'm not kidding,

get out of the car!

It'll be an incredible scoop.

I'll give you 50 percent.

I don't give a damn about 50 percent.

Go away!

I'll give you 30 percent.

- Get lost!

- Marcello, tell me where you're going!

He didn't tell me where he's going.

Hurry!

We lost them.

Yes... No... Of course!

What?

...it's full of holes there.

We'd better leave now.

Maybe some other time.

Sergio will be back on the 12th.

I'm his mother.

- Do you have the key?

- No, he takes the studio key with him.

I'm his mother. Was this for work?

Yes, madam, it was about a job.

But I'll call...

I'll call back on the 12th.

It doesn't matter.

Sorry to disturb, madam.

Good night.

Excuse me, isn't she

that American actress?

- Yes.

- She's so beautiful!

Good night.

I can't bring you home.

That madwoman wouldn't understand.

Understand?

Wait a minute.

I've got an idea that maybe...

- Miss, a phone call for you.

- Yes?

Marcello! Are you sure

you didn't dial the wrong number?

Listen, Maddalena,

can I come with someone?

- Someone? Who?

- Who calls her at this hour?

Someone... Someone.

- Why, you're not alone?

- I'm playing cards with my father.

Oh, your father's there.

Tell me.

What is it that you want?

Nothing. I'll call you soon.

I apologize. Good night.

Sylvia, what are you doing?

No, dear. Where am I going

to find milk at this hour?

Sylvia!

Where are you going with that cat?

Rome is full of cats, if we start...

Come here! Stop!

You don't know. Wait in the car.

I'll go get it.

I'm going. Get in the car.

Excuse me. Do you know where

I can I buy some milk? Some...

All right, all right. Thanks.

Yes, Sylvia, I'm coming too.

I'm coming too.

Yes, I guess she's right.

I'm making a mistake.

We're all making a mistake!

Sylvia, who are you?

Turn him.

Stay right there. Good.

Don't you move.

- And to think this guy did Tarzan,

- Put him back.

I'll take this one from the mirror.

Stay there. I'll take one while
