Meanwhile...
- Who is that? - Don Camillo. | - Make him be quiet!
You try, you'd have | to aim a cannon at the bell tower.
If he won't stop, we should | shoot him in the tower window.
You'd better kill him | on the first shot, he'll shoot back.
Why is he stopping? | Why is he letting them speak?
Is he one of them? I've always said | he was a Bolshevik priest.
Isn't that Mariolino | carrying the flag?
