Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Page #4

but you're all right, you're outside!

- Oh, come on!

- Calm down, young man.

You can't imagine

what an urge I have. It's killing me!

I can't wait for you to get out.

- I've finished the treatment.

- Oh, shut up!

That's just talk.

When I needed actions,

you ran off to Mama.

You came over dizzy.

Beat it! A pardon!

Some hope!

As if they cared about me in Rome!

I don't want to see you again!

Adelina.

Sbaratti.

Natali', what is it?

Good news, sister.

- Sbaratti!

- I'm here. What is it?

What happened?

You've been pardoned. You're free!

My God.

I don't believe it.

Pardoned?

Yes, the news came last night,

but the warden wanted to make sure.

Pardoned?

I've been pardoned! I'm free!

Fragulella, I'm free!

Come here.

I'm so happy.

Don't forget about us

when you get out.

- Say hello to my mother.

- Come and see me.

- Carmine and the kids will be so happy.

- I'm going to eat them all up!

- Pardoned.

- Sbaratti.

If you want to leave

with the first shift, be quick.

What time is it?

It's 11:
00. There's so much to do.

Papa, when's Mama coming out?

You heard the lawyer.

We have to wait.

Will they let her out now?

Let's hope so.

Stop it!

Behave yourselves

or they won't let Mama out.

What?

When you go to jail,

will you take me with you?

Mr. Verace's waiting in the visitor's room.

He says to hurry.

She'll be there in five minutes.

As soon as we're all dressed.

It's 12:
00.

What do you think, Mr. Mellino?

Will your wife make it out

with the first shift?

- Stop it!

- There's Mama!

Idiot, you made my heart turn over.

I thought it was her.

Isn't this the most exciting day of your life?

It sure is.

Did the news take you by surprise?

No, I was ready for it.

Were the kids pleased?

They were bursting with happiness.

They were all yelling.

''Our mother is coming back!''

They were singing and dancing.

- Papa, I'm tired.

- I'm hungry.

I have to pee!

They're too young

to understand, poor things.

Of course, and it's a long wait.

How will you show

your gratitude to the president?

By writing him a letter

from me and my wife.

- There's Mama!

- Stop it or I'll smack you.

Wait!

Wait for me!

What can I say?

I don't know anything.

Watch out for the streetcar!

Are you trying to kill me?

Driver, over here!

The car is ready.

Are we going by car?

Come on, children.

One at a time.

Your pardon guaranteed in 15 days.

Pay one third up front and the rest

when the pardon is granted.

Aren't you coming in? Pardon guaranteed,

you look worried.

PETITIONS FOR PARDON ACCEPTED

Carnations are 80 lire apiece.

What good are flowers?

You can have 'em.

- Oh, come on.

- Here.

- Look, look!

- Pardon guaranteed in 15 days.

Pay one third up front and the rest

when the pardon is granted.

All thanks to you!

Hurrah for Forcella!

You look wonderful!

Enrico, come here.

Go see who it is.

- Who is it?

- It's Fortunata.

We're going to the port.

The cigarettes have come.

What should I do?

Fortuna', it's my first day of freedom

and it was my first night

after a long time.

- I want to stay in.

- Yes, stay here.

- So we'll see you tomorrow?

- Yeah, I'm taking the day off.

See you tomorrow at the usual spot.

Don't worry. Mr. Verace

has promised to fix me up.

- Okay.

- Bye.

They're gone.

- Mama.

- Come to Mama.

Help, I'm drowning!

Open this window, lovely fairy

As the air has become

full of perfume

You're still sleeping

full of courage

Roses, what lovely roses

It's May again

Ugh, you can't get around

even early in the morning...

That's right, dears!

By all means, take your time.

Why don't they stay home in bed,

these workers?

At least on Sunday morning.

In three days, the concert.

Two hours of sleep guaranteed.

Thank goodness.

Tomorrow morning,

it's the Senator's funeral.

I absolutely must put in an appearance.

At 10:
00, the Patronesses Committee meeting.

Lunch with the in-laws.

The Americans in the evening.

The next morning...

The next morning?

Oh, yes, Father Astolfi's orphans.

Then the hairdresser's.

Drop by Titti's.

Then an hour at the gym.

Then back to the hairdresser.

Then stop by Titti's again.

And then the awards of prizes

to those wretched orphans.

Enough, enough!

Away! A clean break.

Once and for all.

Renzo, I can't remember

the color of your eyes right now.

The darling, with that serious face.

He's the best man I know.

So generous, so free, so unassuming.

The darling...

with those incredible short socks.

There he is.

Right there.

Hi.

Hi.

- Am I late?

- No, I just got here.

- Where shall we go?

- No idea. You decide.

It's hot in here.

Mind if I put down the top?

No.

Were you surprised I called?

No, I was expecting it.

I'd have called If you hadn't.

If you've got the time,

how about a drive?

Sure. I have all the time you want.

- Isn't that your husband?

- Yes.

Where is he now?

In Stuttgart for the EEC.

He'll be away for another week.

How does it feel,

seeing your name everywhere?

I don't even notice anymore.

Besides, my name is Anna.

Don't you remember?

Really, Renzo,

you've changed since last night.

You hardly know me.

No. It's just that

when I saw you arrive,

it took my breath away.

Classy, eh?

Renzo.

After you took me home last night,

I couldn't sleep.

The things you said to me.

I don't think I've ever felt so unhappy.

- Why?

- Because you're right.

I've lived like a puppet, deaf, blind,

oblivious...

to the rights of others.

I realized it suddenly

while I was dancing with you.

I felt alive for the first time,

in your arms.

What's this world coming to?

Let's close the roof.

- Are you scared someone might see you?

- No, I said it for your sake.

Besides, it could happen.

If you're worried about my husband,

you can relax.

Sounds like it bothers you.

Nobody likes living with an addict.

I didn't know.

Yes, an addict.

Not in the way you think, but it's worse.

He's like a cog in the wheel:

Work, success, money.

Money, success, work.

He can't stop.

And there's no room for anything else.

Are you any different?

I am different.

I've realized it thanks to you.

Thank you, Renzo.

No, no.

I think I talked

a lot of nonsense last night.

Watch where you're going!

Why, what's changed?

Anna, how many millions do you have?

What does that have to do with it?

A lot.

You're mean.

Hey, slow down!

Would you like to drive?

Go on, Renzo, you drive.

No, I don't know these cars.

My limit is a Fiat 600.

But this one's really easy, you'll see.

No, I'd better not.

Come on, Renzo.

Let's change places.

- Come on.

- But

It's perfect, you'll see.

It does 120 like it's nothing.

And it just got a tune-up.

The key is there.

Go.

Where's the turn signal?

Oh, here it is.

A little music?

Well, Renzo?

Anna, I like you a lot.

But you don't think I'm sincere, do you?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Look, the gas gauge is in the red.

No, that's the heat.

I filled it up this morning.

- How much does it hold?
