The Rose Tattoo Page #10

a ten-year stretch in the brig?

I want you to give me the little

gold ring to put on my finger.

Are you talking about getting married?

Yes.

Yes, I want to give you my heart

to keep forever and ever and ever.

In all my born days,

I never felt nothing so sweet

as the feel of your warm

little body in my arms.

Honey...

...I gotta leave now.

Do you understand?

Only if you promise

to be at the Rampart Hotel.

I gotta go, Rosa!

Look for me!

I'll be there.

Che bella.

Che bella.

Sporcaccione!

Oh, baronessa.

Baronessa!

I didn't know what I was doing.

I got all twisted around in the house.

Young lady, I thought you was

your mama.

"Your mama"?! Oh, please!

- Mama. Mama, stop!

- Sporcaccione!

Mama!

- Baronessa, please!

- Don't "baronessa" me.

No, that's...! That's enough!

- I kill you!

- Stop!

- I kill you.

- That's enough!

- No. No!

- Police!

- Do you want everybody to know?

- Know what, cara? Know what?

Just give him his clothes

and let him get out!

- What clothes?

- I was dreaming.

- I didn't know...

- Don't speak to her!

- But, baronessa...

- Don't call me baronessa!

Who is this man? I don't know

how this man get in...

Don't say anymore. Just give him

his clothes and let him get out!

What clothes are you

talking about, huh?

- Get out, please!

- I'm sorry.

- Get out, please!

- I'm so sorry.

- Get... Put your shirt on!

- But, baronessa...

- Put your shirt on, you idiot's grandson.

- Serafina, please understand.

You idiot's grandson, you.

- Don't talk to me.

- But, Serafina...

Don't tell me nothing, or I kill you.

I kill you!

- But, baronessa, I love you.

- You love me?

Put your shirt on! Cialtrone!

Cialtrone!

Baronessa, I love you.

Again?

Baronessa! I love you!

Go home. Go home!

Cialtrone!

Them Italians is at it again.

Had a truck driver

in the house all night.

Has the man gone?

- That man?

- Yes, "that man. "

I don't know how that man get in.

I don't know.

- Maybe the back door was open.

- Yes, maybe it was.

Why not, cara? Maybe...

Maybe he climbed in a window.

Or fell down the chimney, maybe.

Why do you put on the white things

I saved for your wedding, cara?

Because I want to.

That's a good enough reason.

Rosa, darling.

I want you to understand

about that man, you know?

That was a man...

- That... That was...

- You can't think of a lie?

He was a truck driver, cara.

He was chased by policemen.

Did they chase him

into your bedroom?

Bedroom?

In the dining room.

I took pity on him.

I gave him first aid.

I let him sleep on the floor.

- He gave me his promise, you know?

- Did he get on his knees?

Did he promise he would

respect your innocence?

Did he?

Rosa.

He was Sicilian.

He had oil of roses in his hair.

And the... And the rose tattoo

of your father.

I closed my eyes...

...and dreamed he was your father.

But he came to me drunk,

and he fell flat down on his face.

Stop it!

The only thing worse than a liar

is a liar that's also a hypocrite!

Rosa, don't look at me like that, with...

With the eyes of your father.

Yes, I look at you with

the eyes of my father.

I see you the way he saw you.

- Don't, please.

- Like this.

This pig!

I need $5 so I can go

and find Jack.

Go in.

Go in the house.

Thanks.

Rosa...

Rosa, I couldn't sleep.

My Rosa.

Rosa.

My daughter, she has on the white

things I saved for her wedding.

Will...? Will you marry my daughter?

Mama.

That man didn't touch me.

He just said "che bella. "

How beautiful she is, my daughter.

Get up.

Go with the boy.

Oh, Mama.

Oh, don't cry. Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Don't cry. Go with the boy.

Go with the boy.

The wristwatch.

Oh, my.

Rosa!

Rosa!

The wristwatch.

Rondinella felice!

Rondinella felice!

I'm a happy bird!

Rondinella felice!

- Rondinella felice!

- Serafina!

- Serafina Delle Rose!

- Baronessa!

Baronessa Delle Rose!

There is a man on the roof

without no shirt!

Si, si. Senza camicia!

All he's got on his chest

is a rose tattoo!

Come on, Serafina. Why do you

wanna lock up his shirt like that?

So he can't go to the high school?

Come on!

- Serafina!

- Brava, Serafina!

Here is a silk shirt for him!

OK?

I'm a happy bird!

Va!

Baronessa?

Serafina?

Now we can go on

with our conversation.
