on fire, has written so many letters,

and if I didn't have the courage

to send them to you,

it was only because

I didn't want to do you harm.

So forgive me if I dare

to send you this one.

I want you to know that

this town has many gossips...

who say bad things about you...

that you have a secret lover.

I know it's not true.

You don't have anyone.

After your husband,

the only man in your life is me.

I have to go.

I'll see you at school tomorrow.

So long!

Don't get lost!

Mr. Lawyer!

Your newspaper's upside down!

Mind your own f***ing business!

Good morning, Signora Malena.

Are you well? How is your father?

The show's over!

She's gone now!

I forgot the key.

So it's true what people say!

What's the matter with you?

You look so strange.

You've poisoned me with your lies.

What lies?

I've never spoken to you.

I knew it from the start...

you're a loose woman.

But I've never done anything wrong.

Liar! I've been following

you on my bicycle!

- I know where you went. I know everything!

- No!

- The lawyer, the dentist!

- No, Renato, I love only you!

Liar!

- Amoroso.

- Here!

- Cali.

- Here!

- Costanza.

- Here!

Professor, can I put my dick

between Malena's tits?

Can I put mine in her mouth?

Can I put mine

between her legs?

Okay, but one at a time!

Why didn't she marry

someone from her own village?

I'm sure no one wanted her.

They say she's a seamstress.

But she's so vulgar.

My son says she looks fake.

My husband says he wouldn't touch

her with a ten-foot pole.

The Baron Bonta's mistress

is much nicer.

At least Gina does everything

in the open.

The baron screws her once a week

and then goes back to Palermo.

Malena acts so superior.

Like we don't know what she's up to.

Wait and see.

She'll get hers.

The headquarters of

the armed forces communicates...

Our brave and invincible Fighting men

have delivered a powerful blow...

to the faceless war machine

unleashed by the Allies.

In order to ensure the continued

strength and vitality...

of our forces at the front,

all payment of civic pensions...

will again be postponed...

- It's ready.

- Thank you.

Malena.

Right rank!

Eyes front!

Arms out, arms high,

in quick succession!

One, two! One, two!

Have you heard?

Malena's husband was killed.

Malena is available!

Comrades of Castelcuto,

we are gathered here today...

to share in the tragic

but honorable mourning...

which has struck our town.

To express our deepest condolences...

for the loss of Lt. Nino Scordia...

heroically killed in action...

in Northern Africa...

and to his bride Maddalena,

who, stricken with grief,

unfortunately isn't here with us.

- She's already out looking!
