Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Page #8

- Do you like it? You too, Father?

- Yes, we'll take it.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Come in.

- How much?

- 1,800 lire.

- Any discount?

- No.

Where have you sprung from?

Just passing by.

Can I buy you a present?

This would suit you.

Ma'am, how much is this?

- What do I do with that?

- What a question!

Keep it as a memento.

Wear it when you're a priest.

You're on my grandmother's side.

She's an angel. Leave her out of it.

Pay at the cashier, ma'am.

Last night I had a vision. Saint Maurillo.

What got into you?

You know I could almost be your mother?

Come on, try this on.

This would really suit you.

You weren't born for those clothes.

You understand?

I fell for an officer once.

His uniform really turned me on.

But in civilian clothes,

he seemed different.

He looked like a plucked chicken.

I'LL BE BACK SATURDAY

Abat-jour

You who spread a blue light

From up there

You sigh, who knows why

Abat-jour

While you spread that blue light

- Do you have to put them there?

- What do you care?

Don't you have any faith?

Aren't you religious at all?

Sure, I am.

You better put them out now though.

You're right.

- Do you have any Coca Cola?

- Yes.

- And eggs?

- Yes.

- What day is it today?

- Thursday.

We'll go out on Saturday.

We'll stay put until then.

The phone!

My father's due to call.

- What is it?

- The blinds!

- Ma'am.

- Good afternoon.

Ma'am.

- Who is it? Granny?

- No, it was the wind.

Out of the way.

He wants to join the foreign legion.

He's packing.

We must stop him.

He's gone mad!

I'm coming.

Rusconi, come here!

Help me climb over.

Come on.

Umberto!

- Give it to me!

- No!

- Give it to me!

- Let me be. Naughty boy.

What are you doing, Umberto?

Where are you going?

Tell him I'm not a liar.

I told him the truth.

Your grandmother told the truth.

The whole truth.

Why do you want to make me feel guilty?

I never have before.

The seminary is a secure life.

Bread, a bed and you're outside

of this wicked world.

If I had another life, I'd be a nun.

- Grandpa, give me the case!

- No, I won't. Bad boy!

You're hurting me, Umberto!

Bad boy!

I want to go away!

Rusconi!

Rusconi, come out here!

Mr. Rusconi!

Don't just stand there. Come on!

Come on, hurry!

Hey, kid.

Kid.

Give me that case. Come on.

Finally!

This is Mr. Rusconi.

- Villenzone.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Have a seat.

- Thank you.

Tell him I wasn't lying.

Nobody can be trusted in this world

except for parents and grandparents.

Is it true you make more

than a million a month?

It's true.

You hear that, Umberto?

He wouldn't believe me.

He said I made it up.

Don't go around talking about it

or the tax man will find out.

Good.

And try telling him that the family

eats most of your money.

The train leaves at 5:00.

We'll take him to the station.

Rusconi has a car.

If we go right now, there's a bus.

Yes, there's a bus. I've seen it.

Umberto understands the situation.

Don't you, boy?

I'm not a boy!

He's right.

What are you crying for?

This whole family is always crying.

Yes, son. Cry.

The Lord has answered my prayers.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There they are!

After you, Reverend.

I'm so happy!

You should be happy too.

You did a good deed.

Yes, I'm happy.

I have a clear conscience.

Why, oh why

Do you always leave me alone on Sundays

To go and watch the soccer game

I don't give a damn

about the soccer match!

Close the blinds.

I won't budge from here.

I'll stay in your bed forever.

I'll put roots down.

- Don't shout!

- Let's put on a record.

Get undressed.

I'll watch you from here.

We can't!

We have to wait a week.

What?

I'm sorry.

There's nothing I can do about it.

What do you mean you're sorry?

Don't look at me like that.

Try to understand.

I made a vow.

Understand?

I'll start crying too!

You want to drive me crazy!

But sweetheart, my darling Augusto,

a vow is a vow.

It's all over between us.

A week goes by quickly.

You won't see me again.

I'm a responsible person, not a child.

It's a matter of decorum.

Aren't you capable

of making a sacrifice?

It will be even better afterwards.

Come on, I'll make you a coffee.

Forget the coffee.

Here's your wallet back.

- And the tie.

- Why?

- And the handkerchief.

- But why?

- Good-bye.

- Don't be like that.

Augusto.

Now I have to drive 90 miles.

Come on, behave like an adult.

I am an adult.

- You're the one who isn't.

- Come on.

You want to commit sacrilege?

You hear me?

Fine. If you aren't scared, come on!

But I'll be like a victim,

a slab of marble.

It will be your responsibility.

You could have made a vow for next month.

You knew I was here.

Ever since yesterday,

''Yes, no, yes, no.''

It's bad for a man's health!

All this yes, no, yes, no!

Bologna!

Yes, this is 577-000.

Bologna?

Yes, it's me, Dad.

We have to wait a little longer.

It still needs to be stamped

No, Dad!

I'll fly back tonight.

No, Dad!

I've done everything I had to do.

I even handed out the tips.

But you have to tip them

in advance, Dad!

Well...

Come here.

No, I'm leaving.

Come on, keep me company.

That will get you your permit.

Come on.

Don't be like that.

Augusto, come on.

Come here.

Hail Mary, full of grace...

Holy Mary...
