As arriving by car from the highway...
and taking the inevitable
raccordo anulare...
which circles the city
like one of Saturn's rings.
Scaratti at quarterback?
Christ! We'll never win.
- Five to zero. How do you like that?
- You should've stayed in bed.
Where the hell are they going?
- How long will it take? It's raining.
- We'll be ready in a minute.
- Tough life, eh, boys?
- Hold on tight.
Hey, you motherfuckin' gypsies, we're
gonna stomp the sh*t out of you today.
Go get your sister
and we'll bust her cherry for her.
Can you hear me?
Raise the boom as high as you can.
Move! Move! Move!
Kick the ruling class
out on its ass!
- Tell me what you see.
- Piazza di Siene.
I've got a tourist bus coming.
Shall I follow it?
Yeah, see if you can.
- You want a picture? I take it for you.
- Oh, thanks.
You very "bella. "
Can make a nice picture.
There. Don't move. Smile.
What are you framing now?
- Domes and bell tower.
- It's beautiful. I see the whole city.
The piazzas, the streets,
people on their way to work.
If you see people on their way
to work, it ain't Rome.
Get lost.
You're up so high
you must be seeing another city.
That's what they say about Romans,
and here we are sweating blood all day.
This isn't Rome anymore. Everyone's
gone crazy. Too much of a hurry.
They've become mean.
The true Romans have disappeared.
You don't think so?
Just take a look around.
All you see are filthy hippies,
students who don't want to study...
transvestites, drug addicts,
trash of all kind.
No, because you're forgetting
this film will be seen abroad.
If you show the perverts,
the street whores, negative aspects...
what are they going to think
of our lovely Rome?
What is it?
He wanted to ask you
if your film would show of Rome...
the important and eternal problems
faced by modern-day society.
And we're not only referring to
the problems in the educational system.
As the working world, with problems
in the factories, in housing.
We wouldn't want to see the same old
colorful Rome, easygoing, messy.
- The usual bland and commercial image.
- That's not the only Rome.
But I think a person
should be true to his own nature.
- Pino, what do you see now?
- The station and a small dome.
Yeah, it must be the dome
of the old Barafonda Theatre.
That's what I'd like to film,
for example...
a variety show
at the Barafonda Theatre...
thirty years ago,
at the beginning of the war.
Hey, sh*t-face!
You here too, huh?
Will you move your big feet.
What do you say, Spino?
How's it hangin'?
Give me a light, will ya?
Just 'cause you ate some glass
don't mean you're a window.
He can't help it.
He's never seen one before.
Don't look too hard.
You might hurt yourself.
Take 'em away.
- Hey, Ciriola, how do you like that?
- Man, she sure is built, huh?
Hey, Pericles! Pericles!
- Ding-Dong. What do you want?
- Shove that spotlight up your ass.
Here I am, ladies and gentlemen.
Good evening.
Most comedians start things off
with a joke or two before their routine.
Hey, get off the stage.
Well, I don't tell jokes
because I'm not very good at it.
So if you don't mind I'd like
to present a few of my imitations.
After my successful tour of Marino
Roccasecca, Frascati, Zagarolo...
I was greatly honored
to perform for the royal police force.
All right, shall we begin?
of a man who has eaten too much.
I said get off the stage.
What's the matter, you deaf?
The man said get off.
- Sit down, you big loudmouth.
- Second imitation.
Ayoung lady having a shower.
Maestro!
Hey, do us a big favor
and go away, will ya?
Yeah, go away!
Why? I've got just as much right
to make a living as everybody, don't I?
-Just disappear.
- All right, if you don't go, we will.
We'll pretend we enjoyed the act
and you pretend it's over. Okay?
- I'm what's known as "stil". "
"- Stil", achmil'"," you stink too.
Here you have the modern-day saturnalia,
the variety show.
As you can see, it is a combination
of circus maximus and brothel.
Listen, if you're going
to start talking dirty, I'm leaving.
What did I say?
I mentioned a brothel.
Even Proust, in the recherche...
gives us a lengthy description
of a house of ill repute.
Oh, you and your damned Proust.
But I've got to work
like everyone else.
Yes. So go out
and find a job.
Hey, Maestro,
strike up the band.
Boy, is that funny.
Will you shut your trap?
You guys are really making me laugh.
I'm laughing so much it hurts.
Goddamn bastards. Won't let decent
people enjoy an evening of theater.
- That man's a real artist, lady.
- Get lost.
Coming from the audience
Get lost!
Listen, lady,
what do you want from me?
Certain people
shouldn't be allowed in here.
I bought a ticket to enjoy the show.
So just shut up and leave me alone.
What are you trying to do?
Ruin everybody's evening?
If you're not having fun,
go home and play with yourself.
Kiss my ass.
- There.
- Madam, really!
- You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
- He's only human.
We're all humans,
but we don't go around doing that.
He's gonna get my purse
right in his face.
What a son of a b*tch.
All right, you a**hole.
I'm gonna bust your head.
You nuts or something?
I didn't do it. It wasn't me.
- I saw you throwing those beans at me.
- Again? I told you it wasn't me.
I'm gonna rip your arms off.
Gonna rip 'em both off.
Pipe down, baldy.
Hey, Maestro,
see if you can play this.
- Cram it up your ass.
- How about this one?
Up your mother's too.
And now for the best part,
everybody. Quiet.
For the Amateur Hour.
Where'd that big guy go?
The tall one with all those muscles?
He was right here
a minute ago.
- No.
- Born premature?
- Yes.
If you ask me, this guy was born
before he was conceived.
- What's your name?
- Alvaro.
- And what do you do?
- Tap dance.
- Yeah, but what do you do besides that?
- I'm an electrician.
An electrician. And you learned
how to dance from all those shocks.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
Alvaro!
An imitation of Fred Astaire.
Help!
I feel sick!
Help!
I feel sick! Help!
Hey, Chiodo, it's here.
Here it is. Here it is.
Give me it. Give it here.
Let me have it. Go on.
Make yourself a fur coat,
Fred Astaire.
That's what you had for dinner, huh?
Double-time, Maestro.
If you'd thrown it at me,
you would have eaten it for sure.
- Your father's mustache!
- At least he wasn't queer like yours.
Same to you.
I'll take care of you later.
Come here, honey.
Come over here.
- What's your name?
- Loredana Fiorini.
- And what are you gonna sing?
- "You Stole My Heart. "
"You Stole My Heart. "
Wiseass.
Get back in the toilet,
you big piece of sh*t.
You have a match, young man? I really
don't know why they let her sing.
Wouldn't you be better off at home,
doing the dishes, girlie?
Thank you.
Whatever happened to talent?
I feel sorry
