doesn't mount to them

"and the birds have fallen

silent from their warbling

"because of the cold

that grips them.

"But in spite of this all,

I'm unshaken

"for I am rejuvenated

and prosper

"when all the other happiness

is wasted.

"And if all my merriment

is saddened

"to the point

of not boasting openly..."

"It hasn't however kept

my praise

"from gaining me..."

-They're not good people.

-No, lurco...

No, I'm leaving.

The nuns, no. They spit on me.

-Who spit on you?

-They spit on me.

Lurco, I have to leave.

I'm about to leave

to go to the market

to sell the fabrics, please!

Father, I'm very sorry,

I'm very sorry.

They spit on me.

They called me a Jew.

-They called me a Jew,

father tommasso.

-Lurco, please.

-They called me a Jew.

-Please.

Please, just wait two days!

I want to think

we've had a nice life.

I think I surround you

in a lifestyle

that is pleasant

and luxurious.

Enjoy this pheasant.

Soon as Florence gets here,

we'll be eating chicken like

a bunch of f***ing Croatians.

I sent another messenger

to Florence.

Messenger came back.

He's dealing

with the guelph soldiers.

He's got Florence.

He's got arezzo.

He doesn't have pisa yet,

but he will,

and then he's coming for us.

So, I sent a messenger

to arezzo.

He's not in arezzo.

He's in pisa.

He's going...

He's making a play for pisa!

He doesn't have pisa yet,

but he will.

They're weak,

like the guelphs.

You know what comes

after pisa? Lucca.

He's coming

for our silk trade.

So, my dear,

enjoy this lavish lifestyle,

your two dresses,

your pheasant, your lentils.

Live it up.

It's coming to an end.

This... this florentine

conspiracy thing

is getting to the point

of, like,

he talks about it so much,

it's like a mental illness.

-I'll be fake sleeping...

-Mmm-hmm.

...and he's still going on

about it.

-"We're gonna

lose everything."

-Mmm-hmm.

And that's what... I'm like...

At this point, I'm like,

"you know what? I hope we do,

just so you'll shut up."

-Just shut up.

-Mmm-hmm.

He thinks that everything

that happens

is because of them.

Yeah, he says a lot of things.

He's just...

Just, it's not...

Even his tone is awful.

Yeah? You act like I don't

suffer through it, too.

I'm right there with you.

That sounded like him.

-Hmm?

-That sounded like him.

No, no, that's not him.

He's always asleep.

Just relax.

You're so cute.

-I felt like...

I felt I heard the...

-No, no.

All right,

we're gonna f*** again.

That'll help you relax.

No! That is him.

No! That's... that is him.

Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

What have you done?

Oh, what have I done?

Oh, what's out there?

Is it the guelphs?

Is it Florence?

Are they coming? Go get 'em!

I shall deal with you shortly.

I'm petrified.

Now I'll know who you are

in the morning.

We'll settle this in private.

I'll tell you

what happened, 100%.

A demon came in here

while we were sleeping

and cut our hair.

There's no way

to prove it's not

a demon, so...

Which means

that it was a demon.

What else was it? A warlock?

Good morning.

My liege.

You common-born dogs.

One of you sluts thinks

he's quite the Jester.

What the f***

are you looking at?

I'll f*** you

where you breathe.

What was that all about, huh?

I saw guelph men

rush into town...

Savage beasts,

tearing men from limb to limb.

I saw a little boy's head

crushed between a...

A man's boot and...

And a stone.

His eyeballs

came skittering across.

I saw my beautiful

eight-year-old sister,

benicia,

cleaved in half

with one swipe of a sword

by the guelphs.

She was more beautifully

developed as a woman

than you are today.

You see this copper

in my hair?

She had the most beautiful

hair of this color

all over her body.

Shut up.

Stop talking about this,

not at the table, okay?

No more eyeballs or squishing

and all that kind of stuff.

I don't want to hear about

any more violence

at the table,

'cause I'm eating,

and I'm digesting, so stop it.

Silence!

How dare you?

You are weak.

I've begun to suspect

you have guelph blood

coursing through your veins.

Oh, no. How did you find out?

I will bring the devil's goad

to your bedchamber

this evening,

and it will be

freshly polished.

No.

We're not doing that anymore.

You're not putting anything

in there.

Nothing's coming out, nothing.

We'll see about that.

I'm not doing that anymore.

-I need a refill.

-Don't.

-Oh.

-Please don't do this.

I just need

a quick little refill.

Come here.

-Come here.

-You're insane.

-You've been so sweet to me.

-Stop, stop. Somebody's

gonna catch us!

-Look, look, you're gonna

get me f***in' killed!

-Uh-huh.

If someone catches me...

I don't want to hurt you!

I don't want to hurt you!

-Take your pants off, then.

-No, get off!

It's like, why are there

so many folds in here?

Sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

Bring me his goddamn balls.

Sh*t. Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

God dang it!

Your twigs are

all over the place.

Keeping up?

You keeping up?

Just go without me!

-Go without you?

I'll get there.

Masseto, let's talk

about this!

Just stop! Stop!

Masseto, come on!

Masseto, come on!

No running!

Masseto!

Masseto!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

No.

Father?

You stay away! These are mine!

No, it just looks like you...

You stay away! They're mine!

Hey, stop! Stop!

I'm just trying to help you!

If you're a bandit,

i will strike you!

You can either lose all

of your stuff,

or you can trust me

and let me help you!

I was entrusted to take care

of these things,

and I've ruined this!

The sisters made

all these things,

-and I've lost them

in the water.

-It's all right.

-And now I've fallen...

-It's all right.

I'm gonna help.

Are you all right?

I'm drunk!

And I have fallen

with my cart,

and this animal went

the wrong way.

All right, all right,

all right, all right,

just stay down.

Stay down, please.

There. That's it. All right.

I wish there was something

i could give you in repayment.

-I have no money. Or wine...

-No, father, I don't need

any money, or wine.

That's... that's totally fine.

Yeah.

Are you sure there's nothing

i can do to repay you?

I don't know.

If you maybe had a place

for me to stay tonight,

I would really appreciate it.

You have nowhere to stay?

No.

Oh, you're coming with me.

It was a total disaster.

I never should have stopped

to speak to lurco.

That's what's held me up.

And then I was out at night.

I had to drink the wine,

because I had no water.

And then I just didn't realize

how drunk I was getting,

and I've lost everything!

I'm sorry, father.

I wish there was more

i could have done.

How am I gonna explain?

No, no, it's all right.

You've done...

You've done a lot.

Right, here you are.

Fresh bread for you.

Oh, careful. Go...

Take it easy.

It's really, really good.

Good, good. I'm...

I'm sorry I was so...

Excited and upset before. I...

That's all right. That's...

Would you like some wine?

Bottom up. Up.

Up! Uh-uh...

I didn't touch it.
