Umberto D. Page #2

All right.

He's fine. He's playing.

Please take care of him.|I won't forget you.

I won't be gone long.

Shall we go, Mr. Ferrari?

Yes.

Give me your suitcase.

No, it's very light.|Just pajamas and a bar of soap.

Keep it, then.

Bye.

Maria!

This guy's healthier than I am.|What's he doing here?

I'd like to keep him a little longer,|so he can get the full treatment.

All right.

Thank you, Sister.

Say ''ah.''

That's fine.

Brush his tonsils with iodine.|You can go home tomorrow.

Excuse me, Doctor.

What?

I also have a pain here.

What kind of pain?

Nothing.

Can't you see your fever's gone?

It's just common tonsillitis.

If you were younger, I'd tell you|to have your tonsils taken out.

But what's the use, at your age?

You should have insisted.

Mr. Umberto,

you should have insisted.

I'd really like to save|a little money, you know.

I'll teach you how to get them|to let you stay here.

All I need is one week.

This ward is better than a hotel.

Did you ask the nun for a rosary?

Thank you. Oh, Sister-

He's such a nice person.

He'd like to stay a little longer.

He needs more treatment.|Can't you see how haggard he looks?

Just imagine:
His pension isn't|even enough to support his dog.

We'll see.

Thank you, Sister.

Ask her for a rosary.

Sister.

Could I have a rosary?

How are you, my dear?

I'm fine.

This was all I could bring.

A banana!

Sit down, dear.|Pull up that stool.

May I sit here?

Of course. Sit down.

What about Flike? How is he?

I wanted to bring him upstairs,|but it's not allowed.

He's downstairs in the courtyard.|- In the courtyard.

Flike's in the courtyard.

Shut that window!

Shut it!

So, is that the father?

Mr. Umberto,

if you asked me|to swear to it, I couldn't.

But I sense it was him.

What does he have to say?

Nothing.

When I come back, I'll make him talk.

I'll talk to both of them.

Even the short one,|the one from Florence.

Both of them.

Give us another one, Sister.

Good morning, Sister.

Your daughter?

Excuse me, Sister.

How is our father?

He's very ill.

So he asked to borrow 4,000 lire,|but I didn't give him a cent.

Good move.

Yes, she's marrying the manager|of the movie theater.

That way she can get in for free.

I hope she doesn't have children.

She says you have to leave|because she needs your room.

That's why she's getting married.

Absolutely not.

I'm paying my back rent,|so she can't kick me out.

She can't evict me.

Mr. Umberto, he's waiting.

I'm not going to the shelter.

Get well soon, Mr. Umberto.

- Tell her I'm not going.|- Yes, I'll tell her.

Let her go to the shelter.|I'm not going!

During the war|she called me Grandpa.

I gave her some meat|from time to time.

After the war she went crazy.

She even hates my dog.

If you saw my dog,|you'd know it's impossible to hate him.

Take care of yourself, Mr. Umberto.

But I'm coming back here, you know.|I'm gonna try again.

Good luck.

I'll come and visit you.|What's your address?

- Via San Martino della Battaglia 1 4.|- That's where I'll find you, right?

- Even the police couldn't get me out.|- That's the spirit!

Good-bye, and good luck.

- Excuse me, isn't the maid here?|- No, but the lady of the house is.

What are you doing?

I'm working.

This is my room. I live here.

Who said you didn't?

What are you supposed to do here?

A lot of stuff.

Excuse me.|Did the maid go out with the dog?

What dog?

My dog!

I'm not here|to keep an eye on the dog.

I'm pregnant. You understand?

Good morning.

- Where's Flike?|- I don't know.

- What do you mean, you don't know?|- I don't know.

Don't make me shout.|Where's Flike?

Madam opened the door and he left.

Where were you, you fool?

I kept the door shut,|but she kept opening it.

If anything's happened to him,|I'll kill her.

Please hurry.

- What if I run someone over?|- I'll pay the damages.Just hurry.

- How much?|- 200 lire.

- Here.|- I don't have change.

Do you have change for 1 ,000 lire?

Could you make change|for 1 ,000 lire?

Give me that glass.

- This one?|- Yes.

Fifty lire. 950 is your change.

- There.|- Thank you.

- What do you want?|- I'm looking for my dog.

You're number 1 5.

Excuse me.|Is this where you kill them?

Thirteen.

Fourteen.

Fifteen.

Sixteen.

Fifteen.

- Thank you, sir.|- Good-bye.

Yes?

A mutt with intelligent eyes.

White with brown spots.

He ran away from home.|- When?

Yesterday,|or perhaps the day before.

What do you wish to do?|Do you want the dog or not?

- What if I don't take him?|- Then we'll have to kill him.

- You'll kill him.|- Filippo.

Yes, sir.

Take this gentleman to see|the dogs caught in the last two days.

- Come with me.|- Thank you.

Well, what have you decided?

So you'll kill him?

We have to.|What else can we do with them?

- But 450 lire...|- Next.

We caught this one the day|before yesterday, that one yesterday.

That one the day before yesterday.

That one ten days ago.

This one yesterday.

And this one the day before.|Watch out for the cart.

See, he's not dead!

Good evening, Mrs. Malantoni.|Good evening, sir.

What do you want from me?

We'll be going to your funeral,|not the other way around!

You think I owe you something?

What are you yelling about?

You wretch! Pay your debts.

My debts!

That's not the reason|you want to kick me out.

Tomorrow the doorman|will kick you out.

There are laws, you know.|I pay my debts.

I worked for the Ministry|of Public Works for 30 years!

I've always paid my debts.

Debts!

She doesn't even know|what a bill is.

I have seven people to support.|Spare some change, please.

I have seven dependents.|Spare some change.

Thank you.

Battistini.

My dear Ferrari, how are you?

So-so. How about you?

I can't complain.|How are things?

- You know. Getting by.|- Excuse me. I'm catching the bus.

I'll take the next one.

My dear Ferrari, how are you?

I'm having a dispute with my landlady.

I'm sure I'm going to win.

I'll get an injunction and stop her.

I'll pay 7,500 lire and I'll stop her.

All I need is half the money.

I have to find 2,000 lire.

- You're still at the same address?|- Yes, I'm not moving from there.

The landlady would like|to kick me out right now.

You understand?|2,000 lire is all -

I'm sorry.|I don't want to miss my bus.

Good-bye, Ferrari.|So nice to see you again.

If you see Carloni,|give him my regards.

- He's dead.|- Dead?

Thank you.

Ma'am, I have two children.

Thank you.

I have seven dependents.

Be still.

- Flike, what are you doing there?|- Commendatore!

How are you, Commendatore?

I was just wondering|what Flike was doing here.

He's playing.|He plays all day long.

He's so clever.|How adorable.

He's so cute.

- How are you?|- Fine, thanks.

- Can I buy you a cup of coffee?|- I can't. My bus is leaving.

-Just a cup of coffee.|- No, thanks. The bus is leaving.

- A drink. Something.|- Really, I'd love to, but I can't.

- At least allow me to walk with you.|- Of course.

What are you doing these days?|- Nothing.

I'm a pensioner, so I'm just getting by.|I don't do anything.
