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.
...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...
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,
But you seem nice.
I'd like to confide in you.
Every day,
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.
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.
- 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
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!
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?
