A Difficult Life Page #2

---

- Why, don't you like it here with me?

No, I'm fine.

It's a shepherd's house,

but it is fine.

How is your house is Rome?

It is big, and has large window

facing the Tiber river.

- Shall we go and live there?

- Sure, if it hasn't been requisitioned.

- What will you do after the war?

- I'll be a journalist.

I will write. I already have a novel in mind.

Did you hear? Shooting.

They are my friends! It's Barbetta!

He makes the explosives.

They blew up the central.

And I'm here, in bed with you!

What a scoundrel!

- Hey, Vampiro!

- Who's there?

- Silvio.

- Where have you been?

I've been sick, with

bronchitis and other pains,

but an old woman has nursed and rescued me.

Now I'm coming with you.

She's been like a mother to me.

She has given me ham and salami.

If the old one awakens, she won't let me leave.

She's become too attached!

Flour! Let's go.

- How cold!

- You can feel the mountains!

- Who has typeset "The Americans out of Rome"?

- I have.

- Who gave you the order?

- Magnozzi. - Silvio.

- The article was "The Americans in Rome".

- It is better like that!

- Let me decide! - You have already twice

caused this newspaper to be stopped.

Simonini, don't worry about it,

let the director decide.

Yes? Speak, director.

You've read the article?

The title?

The Americans out of Rome.

No? More moderate?

I would kick them out personally.

I hear you director.

I do not have a sense of realities?

I must "keep my feet on the ground?

At times I can't control myself.

When You want Simonini?

Right away. Simonini,

the director wants to talk to you.

- Hello? I'm starving already!

- That's not true.

No, no. The Dongo gold?

They found it in Lake Como?

- Very well. I must leave straight away?

- Tell him I'm coming with you.

I'll take Magnozzi with me.

- No? - I know the places,

I was a partisan.

- He knows the area,

he was a partisan. - Sure!

Very well.

- What did he say?

- He said yes.

- When do we leave?

- Immediately.

- I said "immediately".

- Yes.

The Americans in Rome, then.

The director is sending me to the Dongo.

we are here, where tragedies of

war and fascism took place.

The search for the famous treasure

of the Dongo has been futile.

and the journalists are returning

to their quarters.

Get away! It may blow up!

- Get us water!

- Water!

On that mountain there is a flour mill

where I spent a wonderful time

with a woman. A beautiful woman.

See that village? She lives there.

- The one who killed a German with an iron? - Yes.

Over there is her hotel.

- How do we get there?

- With the ferry, takes ten minutes.

- Does she have any sisters?

- One, a little one.
