Fantassine, are you going to confession?

I'd like to be your confessor.

Do you have ribbons?

For you I have everything, come.

Wait.

Nothing nice over here,

but if you come after Mass,

after closing time,

I'll take them for you

at the warehouse.

- Stop it and show me those ribbons.

- I would donate you the whole store.

Come back here and

I'll show you a cloth.

If your wife hears you she will kill you.

Fantassine, you will be my death.

Very good, we will give

you a nice funeral.

Fantassine, beware of him.

I am going to hunt today.

Are you coming with me?

The other day's slap didn't suffice?

Want another one?

Nazionali cigaretes.

- Give it to me.

- No, it's mine.

Nazionali, please.

Wait a moment.

- Good morning Marshal.

- Good morning.

You don't know me?

I deliver wood to the Carabinieri.

- Fantassine hot chick.

- Yes, that's how they call me.

- I want to give you this goldfinch.

- To me?

Yes, you're alone.

It will keep you company

Thanks.

Sampieri!

I wish you well.

At your service.

Bring this goldfinch to my room.

One moment, parishioners.

A notice.

Again this year, we are making

a pilgrimage to Saint Acuto.

Let me remind you,

it is not an entertainment nor a picnic.

Your souls need to be maidenlike.

Clean, I would say.

Thus, immerse your dirty souls

in the lye of penance,

soap it with contrition,

shake it out

like you shake out your laundry

near the river,

rinse it with the waters of prayer,

spread it out in the sun

of our Lord Jesus Christ

and iron it with the flat-iron

of good promises.

Without creases!

Don Emidio knows how

to do laundry!

Did you see the marshal

smiling at Fantassine?

He likes kidding.

- May I?

- Enter.

- I am the new commander

- I know. Get seated!

- Father, here's the coffee.

- One more cup of coffee please.

- You want a cup of coffee?

- Yes please, I love it.

I never go out without

my espresso maker.

A good cup of coffee always does good.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

You shook it, it's full of grounds.

But I brought like the Blessed Sacrament!

We will settle this later. Go now.

I came to you Monsignor...

Monsignor to me...

I am just a poor priest.

- Excuse me, I'm unfamiliar. with titles

- Are you from Naples?

- Almost, I'm from Sorrento.

- That's why.

You Neapolitans say Sir to everyone.

Yes, but there are ways and means.

Anyway, thanks for your courtesy.

And your visit above all.

- My duty.

- I know that you're unmarried.

Yes, unmarried.

Marshal, this is a village

that offers no distraction.

It's a quiet village.

No strikes, no rebellion.

- You would like a rebellion?

- No, what's the point?

When I read in newspapers
