Malena Page #2

in the open.

The baron screws her once a week

and then goes back to Palermo.

Malena acts so superior.

Like we don't know what she's up to.

Wait and see.

She'll get hers.

The headquarters of

the armed forces communicates...

Our brave and invincible Fighting men

have delivered a powerful blow...

to the faceless war machine

unleashed by the Allies.

In order to ensure the continued

strength and vitality...

of our forces at the front,

all payment of civic pensions...

will again be postponed...

- It's ready.

- Thank you.

Malena.

Right rank!

Eyes front!

Arms out, arms high,

in quick succession!

One, two! One, two!

Have you heard?

Malena's husband was killed.

Malena is available!

Comrades of Castelcuto,

we are gathered here today...

to share in the tragic

but honorable mourning...

which has struck our town.

To express our deepest condolences...

for the loss of Lt. Nino Scordia...

heroically killed in action...

in Northern Africa...

and to his bride Maddalena,

who, stricken with grief,

unfortunately isn't here with us.

- She's already out looking!

- She'll need a warm bed now!

But she is with us in spirit,

because Sicilian women...

with their hardships,

with their sacrifices,

march shoulder to shoulder

with Fighting men!

Of our fellow citizen in defense of his country was not a useless

Lt. Cadei is so handsome.

A lucky girl will catch him!

...that will carry us to the

final victory of the Fascist Empire!

For Victory!

Long live II Duce!

From now on I'll be at your side.

Forever. I promise.

Just give me time to grow up.

Now she'll take a lover for sure.

Once in the sack,

there's no looking back!

She knows that. She's 27 years old.

She knows her way

around the block!

Cusimano, the dentist,

has gone crazy for her.

One day he was distracted

as he walked by...

and pulled a healthy tooth

instead of the rotten one!

Dentist or not, why haven't

we seen her lately?

Guess she's too busy!

They say she's fooling

around with a shopkeeper in Catania...

with subversive tendencies.

Some say Cusimano, the dentist.

- A family man. It's disgraceful!

- When you're a born whore...

I hear the priest has received

anonymous letters...

saying her lover

is this man, that man.

The voice of the people

is the voice of God!

I can't talk to anyone about

my personal problems.

They're too intimate.

But you seem nice.

I'd like to confide in you.

Every day,

I'll light a candle for you.

But you seem nice.

I'd like to confide in you.

Every day,

I'll light a candle for you.

I'll even come to Mass on Sunday.

But you must protect

Malena Scordia from the town.

Yes, the widow... at least for

a few years. Then I'll take over.

I am always at your service.

- Renewed condolences, Malena.

- Condolences.

What a piece of ass!

Son of a b*tch!

You little runt!

Come back here!

- Can't you sing in Italian?

- Can't you speak German?

Renato, It's late.

Renato, get up.

Monster!

You're a fetishist,

a sadomasochist,

or even worse, a pervert!

- What is that?

- It's just a French hat, Ma!

Shame on you!

You shameless girl Can I keep them?

What are you looking at?

Get out of here!

Come here, you little pig!

- Goddamn pervert!

- What did I do?

You're not permitted to sit

at the table with us, understand?

- Answer me!

- Okay!

You no longer have the right

to speak to your sisters, understand?

Lock me up!

I'll show you!

You're not to leave this room

until further notice!

Son, at least have some soup.

It will do you good.

Pietro, he hasn't eaten

for three days.

In the Soviet Union,

they never eat.

Still... What is this sh*t?

The Fascists gave it to us.

At least it looks like coffee.

Sure, and I look

like Vittorio De Sica.

Everything they give us is terrible!

Look at these pockets.

They're always ripping open!

This cheap thread

doesn't hold the stitches!

The thread isn't the problem!

While our son recites poetry,

his hands go to work in his pockets!

What does that mean?

Do you get it now?

Just as well! Don't fix them.

Sew the pockets closed!

But he'll have no pockets.

He'll work it out.

It will be good for his health!

Lights out!

...that the weary spirit may

never repose in more restful harbor...

- Has he gone crazy?

- I think he's gone blind.

While upon womens work

you sat intent,

content with the vague future

you held in mind...

was the scented May, and thus

you used to spend your days.

This child needs air.

- Air?

- Air.

Good morning, Professor.

This letter is for you.

It says "urgent. "

You're dishonored.

Your daughter Malena is sleeping

with the whole town.

It was an anonymous letter,

but I read it!

It says Malena is a whore

with everyone in town!

So there's hope for us too!

Take it back!

I'll bust your ass,

Mr. Short Pants!

Tonight was wonderful.

- For me too.

- I know it's been only ten months since.

- But maybe I can see you again.

- All right. You win.

- Tomorrow.

- Okay, as long as I'm not on duty.

- Thanks for the flowers.

- You're welcome.

Take care of yourself.

So see you tomorrow?

Yes.

- Until then.

- Good night, Leone.

What time?

- Good evening, sir.

- Good evening, my ass!

How dare you

pester my fiancee!

There must be a misunderstanding.

I was invited.

You're a liar and a bastard!

Because I'm in uniform,

I can not retaliate, sir.

- But you will answer to me.

- Anytime.

- Coward, scoundrel!

- Get up.

Come here!

I'll tear you apart, you coward!

I'll break you in two!

Let me go! Or I'll have

to get tough with you!

- Here's the adulterer!

- My wife!

- Officer, look! He's cheating on me!

- With a man?

With a traitor!

You said you wouldn't touch her

with a ten-foot pole!

It's the dentist.

I've been spying on you

a long time, you bastard!

And as for you,

go steal husbands from

your own village, you whore!

We knew she had one lover, but two?

But where does

the dentist fit in?

He fits in between her legs!

Her father was forced

to quit the school in disgrace.

He never wants to see

his daughter Malena again.

And the dentist's wife

kicked him out of his house.

That dragon of a wife

will drag him into court!

What's the dentist

got to do with it, poor guy?

Malena's the whore!

She should be taken to court!

That Lt. Cadei seemed

like such a gentleman.

How could he get mixed up in this?

Everyone knows

she's a home wrecker.

The lieutenant was asking for it!

- She's not from here. She forgets where she is.

- Will they go to court?

Of course, she could go to jail.

He's a married man!

The dentist needed

three stitches in his head.

But the dentist

swore at the soldier first.

That's insulting an officer.

We'll all end up in court!

While we were

watching her caboose,

the lieutenant and the dentist

were riding the train!

She's either going

to the lawyer's or the notary's.

Sure, but what will she do

with two old men like them?

- Excuse me.

- Come in.

Can I help you?
