Don't explain baptism to me, | I invented it!

The baby won't go to heaven | if he dies.

Why should he die? | He's pink and healthy.

I get it, I'm always wrong. | I'll try to call them back.

I'll leave when my son is baptized | with the name I want.

Town Hall is outside. | This is a church.

Careful, | I have a delicate stomach.

Do you remember that bullet | I took in the war? No low blows.

Don't worry, | I'll get you only on the top floor.

- What time is it? | - Who knows?

Alright, you win.

That's for the baptism, | that's for the grenades.

- What grenades? | - Don't play innocent.

That's what you do. | Destroy and burn.

And you want to build | a Citizen's Center!

Be quiet, | you little Bolshevik.

Coochy-coochy-coo! | He's smarter than his father.

- Where are you getting the money | for that building? - I'll find it.

If we have a drought...

...you won't be able | to buy the first brick.

I know, I've been fighting | for a city park for ten years.

But you don't want it | to cost anything.

Well, | shall we baptize this treasure?

What are we going to call him?

Libero Antonio Camillo.

- Camillo as well? | - Yes.

If that's the case, | you can add Lenin too.

Camillo cancels out | those other types.

Show me the baby.

[Ciro dell'Abbruciata, Mariolino's | grandfather, is the godfather.]

[The Abbruciata farm | is as hard and bald as a squash.]

[Lf he planted dynamite, | maybe it would grow.]

[But Ciro and his son | insist on planting grain.]

Mariolino!

[On the farm on the side | belonging to Gina's family...]

[... the earth is beautiful and only | a caress is needed for grain to grow.]

[Poverty and wealth, | the sun and politics added...]

[... makes them | detest each other.]

[And so a wall was built | to avoid trouble.]

Are you crazy? My father | will kill me if he sees us.

Why didn't you come the other day? | I waited until night.

- You told me to go away. | - It was nothing, I was angry.

You're so handsome!

You're getting a beard.

- You were running, your skin | is boiling. - No, I didn't run.

It prickles. | [There they are, Romeo and Juliet.]

[When they were babies | their families became enemies.]

[At that time | the wall hadn't yet been built.]

[The slightest incident | always complicated matters.]

[The battle extended | to the mothers and fathers...]

[... then to the rest | of the family...]

[... and finally | to the grandparents.]

Your Peppone is a brigand!

That priest of yours | makes you want to turn Muslim.

- You are a Muslim! Hypocrite! | - Gina!

My grandfather! He'll pull | my hair out! See you tonight.

- Gina! - See you this evening. | - Here I am!

Gina!

- Where were you? - I went to see | if the apples are ripe.
