I brought a cake.

I`ll pick it up in the car.

He`s funny, isn`t he?

He`s prepared and smart.

Yes, very funny.

What`s his specialization?

Transportation.

- He`s a nice guy.

- A bit intrusive...

- There lies his charm.

- Here I am!

There`s enough for everybody.

There`s also a royal pastry for you, Sir.

Please!

This is for the queen.

A saint-honor for the cardinal.

- Can I have one?

- Sure, which one?

- The cannolo. - Here it is.

- A diplomatic for you.

- Congratulations!

- Which cake do you want?

- I don`t eat cakes.

- And your sons? - I don`t have sons.

- Why?

- I never thought about that.

Fantastic!

This is a real nice lunch!

Barnaba gave me a cake.

- Did you accept it?

- Sure, and so did the king!

CLINKING:

What`s happening now?

Attention, please!

Silence!

Silence!

I take advantage of this occasion

to give you some good news.

- I mean, you can say it, dad!

- What are you talking about?

- You say it.

- No.

Then I`ll say it.

On the 27th of this month you are invited

to my wedding with Cristina.

- Very good, Barnaba!

- Thanks.

- Cristina, what is this nonsense?

- I don`t know!

- Don`t you want to marry me anymore?

- Did I ever said yes?

- You didn`t say no.

- I say it now.

- Do you say yes?

- I say no.

- Do you say no?

- She`s saying no.

Then I understood correctly.

She said no.

You know something?

The invitation for the 27th

is confirmed!

- Thanks!

- You are invited too!

TELEPHONE RINGING

Hallo? One moment.

It`s the Central Bank.

The meeting for the loan

has just finished.

Ok, good.

Good, good!

Very good!

- Everything good?

- They said no.

- We are ruined. We have no more grants.

- No.

The kingdom of St. Tulipe

will disappear.

- Can I suggest something?

I have the Krupp option. - No!

Cristina with that german man!

Barnaba is nicer.

Yes, he`s nicer. But we must

follow our State necessities.

- Cristina? - She`s not there.

- Did she run away?

She`s at the Dance Academy.

- Is she under cotrol?

- Sure.

Girls, be ready for the essay!

Let`s go.

Here`s the princess!

Princess.

Is it true you have an affair

with a bus driver?

It`s not true.

Let her go.

Princess, the elevator.

Stop it! Stop it!

Let me go!

Open! Open!

- Open!

- It is forbidden to talk to the driver.

Open! It`s an order!

- You have no rights on me.

Are you my wife? - No!

- Have you any rights on me?

- I am in love!

- Ufff!

- No! I say ufff!

No, I can only say that! Ufff!

- Let me go, ``astronzo``!

- Am I funny? - Not, a**hole.

- I am not going at your place!

- You are!

Are you hot?

- In effect, it`s august.

- You want to rape me.

Just don`t tear my dress apart.

It`s a Finkleman. It costs three millions.

Persichetti General Store, 3.000 liras.

Dress up, I`ll make you a coffee.

Why are you closing?

So I won`t look at you.

A coffee will calm you down,

you are very nervous.

Did you take me here

to drink coffee?

- No, to know each other better.

- Do you realize in which ``truffle`` are you?

- What ``truffle``?

- In a bad situaton.

A trouble.

I know, but I don`t care.

Let me go and nothing

will happen to you.

Did you decide?

- How much sugar?

- You decide!

Will you let me go?

No.

Once married,

you will prepare coffee.

Well?

What?

My god!

My god!

How can we live together?

There`s no dialogue between us.

That`s not true.

If you start talking, there`s a dialogue.

- You start.

- No, you start.

Ok.

Yesterday I ate an apple and

inside there was a worm.

My granpa`s name was Giovanni.

My weight is 72.5 Kilos

without shoes.

Nex month is the end

of legal time.

Yes, maybe.

I don`t think it`s your fault.

I think there`s some dialogue.

- Just one thing to do.

- What?

- We must kiss.

- That`s impossible.

I will never kiss you.

It`s ``never`` o`clock.

One moment!

I kiss you if...

- No ifs.... If?

- If you let me go.

Ok.

What are you doing?

The door is open.

Didn`t you want to leave?

Why?

You love me.

- Yes.

- How much?

- Very much.

- I thought more.

I loved you since the first moment

I met you.

- Why didn`t you say that before?

- We can never get married.

- Only if it would snow in august.

- Right.

Let`s check the weather.

It`s snowing!

It`s august...

- One moment...

- Don`t open. - Why?

You could get a cold.

Princess, congratulations!

You`re a cheater, a clown!

- Now, do you want to refuse?

- No, I will marry you.

- If...

- No ifs. What?

- We get married on the mountains,

afar from the crowd. - Why?

My father must not know,

he wants me to marry Krupp.

- The one of the rolls?

- The cannons!

Ok, dear.

When are we going to tell dad?

After the wedding.

I would rather do that

after the third child.

- I must tell you a secret.

- Which one?

We are surrounded.

The love story between

the princess and the bus driver is finished!

Cristina promised to Krupp!

Barnaba interviewed on Tv!

Here he is! Here he is!

Who?

Ba... Ba...! Ba... Ba...!

Barnaba!

Hello, I am Cecchini Barnaba.

Io love Princess Cristina

and she loves me.

You could say that you are in love too,

but you don`t go on Tv.

But you can`t say that,

because I am talking now.

The father of my girlfriend

wants her daughter to be marriedvuole che la figlia sposi...

...to somebody that produces cannons.

Such Krupp doesn`t love her

the same way I do.

But he`s got 50 billions.

If I had them, I would give them to the king.

I don`t have them, but you do.

You don`t have it individually,

but altoghether.

There are 5 million people in Rome.

Would you renounce to a princess

for 10.000 liras?

I can`t believe it.

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Hurry up, or the princess will leave.

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Well!

A real farewell! I didn`t think

to be so popular in Rome.

I will always have a wonderful memory

of this city.

Hi, dad!

Barnaba!

Hi, Cristina!

Chauffeur, stop the car!

- Look carefully at those papers.

- They`re 10.000 liras banknotes!

All of them will be 50 billions.

Dear, give me the monkey.

- You drive.

Yes, sir!

- Can I come in, dad?

- Sure, take a seat.

Come with us, Barnaba!

But...

Barnaba, you are great!

Let`s go!

Congratulation!

Bet wishes and much happiness!

There is also my money-box!

There are 10.000 liras.
