Miranda Page #3

as any one else would've.

She gave me a lot.

Gave you a lot, huh?

Cash or trade?

Cash, of course. You know

nobody looks at me, right boss?

It's all for you anyhow.

It's enough, I hope, to pay

whatever new bills I get.

For as long as I'm away.

Where?

Don't I have the right to go away?

Yeah, you're the boss.

You can do whatever you want.

You approve, do you?

I depend on you, Tony.

The inn is in your hands.

Don't worry, I'll look after

your interests for you.

You're a guy who

knows what he's doing.

Why, don't you?

Do you like it?

- It makes me cry a little.

- Well, there's nothing

wrong with that.

Sit down.

How'd you like an ice-cream.

Another One!

More drills shipped,

they were unloaded this morning.

Work's finished.

Well?

No!

Norman, Norman, no!

Come here!

Come!

Go on!

Let's f***.

Hey you, leave that dog alone.

I'm a civil servant

and you're interfering with the law.

How much for the dog?

Not a penny! I have my dignity

as official dog catcher, you know.

Here's dollars, American

dollars. You can have them.

Oh, he's cute.

Go away.

Go on, go away!

Please, go away!

Don't you know how lucky

you've been today.

Hey, the war's over.

Slow the jeep down, will you.

You're a 'mascalzona'.

Go on say it again.

Ma-scal-zo-na!

Ma-scal-zo-na!

Hey, would you watch that!

You some kind of nut?

But...

Yes!

This spot is where the Nazi's

got me. April 13th 1944.

It was here where the Scar is.

It was night, I was lucky.

There were only a few,

they were afraid to come down.

I spent the whole night

looking up at those two trees.

Grass,

blood,

money

and sh*t.

A monument.

C'mon, let's go.

I want something to drink,

then I want you. Let's stop

at the first village.

I'm starving.

I'm goin' to eat.

It's there.

Right between the legs of the

ballerina.

There

This is it.

This is what moves the world.

Right between the thighs

of all women.

Tender clouds,

I wanna die there.

Miranda!

Yes you're right.

Get over here.

We will cross the river and will rest

in the shade of the trees.

I wanna die...

Not in the jerry.

I want to die,

I want to die in a wave.

I wanna die on top of you, Miranda.

On top of you.

Norman,

Oh, my love.

I want your thigh.

Darling,

come on.

A hole here...

I wanna make a hole in you

and take you in that hole.

Yeah, do it.

You can do it if you want.

Just me, mine,

forever.

Yours.

Oh, baby.

Miranda, baby.

Oh, darling...

Norman?

You hear me, darling?

Please, Norman.

Wine, wine!

Long live Bacchus and love!

Both console us.

One passes through our lips to

our heads and the other from

our eyes to our hearts.

So I drink this wine, with my eyes

and then I do the same as you.

Just a minute,

quiet please, everyone.

I shall miss you all a great deal.

I asked for my old post in Damascus.

That's where I started my career.

So at long last they put you

back on the road.

Yes, the purge is finally over,

my exile has come to an end

and you might say I'm back

in the government's good graces.

Long live the Consul Carlo!

It was very nice of you

to invite us all here.

So now you're gonna leave us?

- Wanna dance with me?

- I would be delighted

-Leda?

-I'm ready.

Wanna dance, honey?

What kind of music is that, Tony?

Play one of those records

that I brought, will ya?

This one, okay? - That's the one

I'm on, go right ahead.

- But I can't, Leda.

- Sure you can.

No, Miranda, ask somebody else.

Ah. Carlo, come.

- Isn't he wonderful?

- He's American.

A great guy. It's worth it,

It's worth it, Leda!

Until the end I never stopped hoping

that one day you might reconsider.

I can't Carlo.

You know that.

I can't help it.

But I still feel bound to Gino.

I can't get him out of my heart.

Liar, you know there's no

possibility of him ever returning.

But besides it was you who said

that nothing mattered except this.

I didn't know you that well then.

Hey, Carlo!

What are you trying to say?

Just that now other things

mean a lot more to me.

At this moment there's one

and only one thing.

Miranda, Miranda!

Why do you always avoid me?

Avoid? I'm here holding you,

can't you feel it, Carlo?

You've got such lovely thighs.

I dream about them.

About your aroma.

Your impudent eyes.

That's what I like to hear.

Pretend I'm not Miranda.

That I'm another woman.

Someone young and fresh

and completely devoted to you.

No-one else interests me.

Juliette, for example.

Did you see her? She's looking

for someone to settle down with.

I've seen her all naked.

Close your eyes and

think about her.

Her thighs, her hand.

Imagine it's Juliette's caresses...

You,

- No you!

- Me!

Do you know

what I've done, Carlo?

I even sold the ring you bought

me to pay some bills.

Yes, yes.

That's one more reason for loving you.

It's a downpour.

Come on, please.

You've pissed me off!

That's a rotten son of a b*tch!

No! Not the phonograph, no!

Stop fighting!

Calm yourselves!

Oh, stop it!

About time there was some rain.

Sing, go on, sing.

Stop fighting!

Oh, stop it! Norman!

Norman!

Norman, Norman!

That son of a b*tch started it!

He did?

Yes and it's your fault!

Can't any of you see it's raining?

Let's go!

Everyone back home. C'mon.

- I only wanted to separate them.

- Calm down.

Come on, move it.

Small Fight!

"Listed as missing must

be presumed dead."

Don't go, Gino, don't go.

Quedatela.

Take it,

I leave it to you, it's yours.

Turn around.

I don't believe you never

done that before.

I don't care what you believe.

Gino, tell me I didn't hurt you.

No, you were great.

What are you thinking?

Nothing, just laughing.

What was your husband like?

othing at all like you!

You just like to switch around?

Why not? You like one man because

he's got something special,

then you find something else

in another.

What have I got?

Your smell.

I'm crazy about it.

Let's go away together!

Go where?

Far, to where everyone's different.

They're not all the same here.

You, for example.

I'm only passing through.

I take what I find that's all.

And I made myself easy to find.

Miranda, ask me for anything.

Keep me running

all night long, okay?

What are you thinking about?

Not a thing!

I feel the music in the air!

I can feel it too!

Sure you can work here. We've got

a room for you. Right, dad?

Get me a grappa.

Is anyone upstairs?

Only Leda, no one else

came home last night.

They're completely through

with the gas line.

Even Norman gave up his room.

That's because he was all alone.

Juliette went with the Consul

and Gabrielle with Berto.

Looks like we'll be all alone, uh?

Well, there'll be lots of others,

you'll see.

Not today.

Put the closed sign up, will you?

Tell Leda we don't need her today.

And you get all clean and after come

and see me and we'll talk a little.

And stop drinking.

Well, I'm celebrating.

I don't have to work today.

You didn't have to bring coffee.

It wasn't necessary.

Well, I could leave it here.
