he can to keep me from working,

I can't stay long.

. Why?

. There's a party in my honor.

Go then, have Sturla take you back,

Don'tyou want to know who won?

Who gives a damn!

I certainly didn't

nor did you, or you wouldn't be here,

Nice!

"Best Actress:
Luisa Ferida",

good for you!

What do you see in thatstuff?

Want to try?

You don't have to sniffit,

just put it on a mucous membrane.

Tongue, gums,

mouth...,

Any mucous membrane,

Does anyone besides Sturla

know about this recording?

Word ofhonor, no,

Leave it, you may go.

No.

That way.

Show her in.

My dear,

You're so lovely!

What elegance!

What's that old thing doing there?

Whatan honor! You've never

cared to visit the Ministry,

. I have to ask a favor,

. Can't we talk about itat home?

No, it's a formal request.

I'm listening,

YourMinistry didn't approve

Goffredi's film.

The banks won'textend credit, why?

It's a beautiful film,

and a greatopportunity for me.

He's an anti. Fascist,

and never misses a chance to show it,

Now he demands we finance him?

He demands nothing, He's an artist,

he's not involved in politics.

Then why doesn't he

produce his own films?

If your Minister won't do anything,

I'll see II Duce himself.

Golfiero's script!

Who did thatscribbling?

II Duce! Don't you recognize

his handwriting?

. He likes correcting homework.

. He has nothing better to do?

Listen,

Forget Goffredi,

he was asking for it,

Our best directors wantyou,

Golfiero is completely different.

You have lots of proposals,

important films, great directors., .

Chiarini wants you for his next film,

also Poggioli...,

Blasetti too, I might add,

. And the male lead?

. Osvaldo Valenti.

Isn't he the actor,, .

Who performs,, .

Like that?

. Turn that off right now!

. Slut! Whore!

It's despicable,

how could you have spied on me?

Letgo of me!

SLEEPING BEAUTY:

Guys.,, Dalmazio.,,

- Is it done?

- Not yet.

Do you know what it means

to disobey orders?

Itsays here they've been shot.

They turned themselves in,

we won'tshoot them without a trial,

For two degenerates?

For two torturing murderers?

There's been a trial,

. The sentence is right here.

. No, a proper trial.

With a prosecution, a defense,

witnesses and a desire for truth.

If they're the scum you say,

they'll get what they deserve,

Vero, is thatwhat you say too?

Yes,

It's time.

The date for the revolt's been set.

All Fascists, except for

a few fanatics, are surrendering.

Many are entering the Resistance.

Great men, honorable men!

Listen, Taylor, after the war

what do you think will happen?

All the pent. Up hatred, pain,

the thirst for revenge,

the settling of personal scores?

But we don't want a bloodbath,

it's not the solution.

The solution would be to make

Valenti and Ferida pay the bill?

The bill will be paid by the

bastards, the a**holes, the leaders,

those with responsibilities,

Make a good example

and save the others' lives.

What will decide who the a**holes,

the bastards, the leaders are?

Gossip?

You're right.

It would be appalling

if innocent people were condemned.

But if all they say is true,

if they really did

the horrible things

they're accused of,

you, Taylor,

honestly, what would

your position be?

If someone proves to me

they did those things,

I'm ready to shoot them myself!

Even you aren't so sure

they didn't do anything.

How did you find out?

Silvestro,

It's horrible!

Why do things like this happen?

I'd have preferred Capri,

but Ventotene will do,

We have influential friends,

we can even reach II Duce.

No way!

Be a hero!

You feel important going into exile

like the real anti-Fascists?

What do you mean?

I'm sorry, I don't mean it.

I don'tthinkthose things.

The Podesta is down 3,000,

Monsieur Duval, 3,000,

plus my own 15,000,.,

over 22,000,

So, Mr Ambassador,, .

So, whose deal is it?

It's very late,

are you coming to bed?

These gentlemen have offered me

the chance to regain my losses.

Go on to bed,

I'll open.

Three thousand.

Here,

Cards.

I'm pat,

Two,

Patspeaks,

All of it,

Do you have a pen?

Excuse me,

I never accept checks.

- And so?

- It's a rule of mine.

Having to dominate the world,

why not learn languages?

Forget it,

He said no checks.

Wait, sir.

I'll wager my place in that bed,

- I don't understand,

- Come on, you do.

Alright,

Women never betray me, Monsieur,

That's life,

I'm truly sorry.

You won?

What do you think you're doing?

I'm coming to bed,

Think I didn't understand?

Now you just waltz in here?

So?

. I won, didn't I?

. But if you'd lost?

I should have lost.

I wanted to, you whore!

One more, one less, what difference?

. Are you crazy?

. Where did you go this morning?

- What f***ing dick did you go to?

- I went to Gaeta to see Golfiero.

What?

Think I'm stupid and don't know

about you and that fag?

Whatare you thinking?

And this?

It's a picture on the set,

we were shooting,

You keep it in your purse

like a fiancee?

Like some girl

with her soldier. Boy's picture?

That f*ggot! F***ing queer!

You're jealous!

- You're jealous, darling.

- Never!

You're jealous!

You fell for it, you scamp,

you were afraid!

What an idiot!

Didn't little Golfiero tell you

about the sublime art ofham acting?

You're jealous

and don'twant to admit it.

Valenti isn't jealous!

Sandokan has no rivals.

Shut up,

Don't ruin everything,

Let's have a baby.

Would you light the candle?

You'd better stay away from her,

. Why?

. Because her uncle will kill you,

When this shitty war is over,

I'm going to marry her.

Pontine Archipelago, summer 1940

I love you,

Feel it?

. I can feel it moving.

. It's him, Kim.

. How do you know it's a boy?

. I know.

So he won't be French,

or Spanish, or Italian.

He'll just be Valentian,

or Feridian,

or even better Sandokanian!

Turn it up!

Ma'am, Sandokan come here!

What is it?

Llsten.

He needs a few deaths

As soon as she's asleep,

Of course, don't worry.
