- You and you, to work.

- What about me, Don Vincenzo?

You? Get a job from Stalin.

Don't you worry, his day will come.

I always get left out.

Nice film. That young man

worked ever so hard.

- Pity he was so unlucky.

- Why did he go and buy that boat?

Idiot!

You didn't understand anything.

Right, boys.

Here you work from dawn to dusk.

And no questions about pay.

I've been looking for you all day.

Did you buy the milk?

- And the money?

- Stolen.

You went to the cinema?

The cinema!

- Signora Maria, wait!

- Leave him alone, you're hurting him.

And you, why did you tell lies?

You know you got in free.

Go on, tell your mother.

Maybe he lost it inside. How much?

50 lire.

What did you find

under the seats tonight?

A comb,

two heels,

a tobacco pouch

And 50 lire.

See?

Thank you, Alfredo.

- Good night.

- Good morning.

Good night.

I understood right away.

The square is mine!

It's midnight! Out!

I must close the square.

Hard on the feet, eh, Father?

Going, it's downhill

and all the saints help you.

Coming back, the saints just watch.

If it is God's will

See you tonight.

What's wrong? Your foot this time?

Oh dear, what can we do?

Did you know my father, Alfredo?

Of course I knew him.

Tall, thin, good-tempered,

with a moustache like mine.

He always smiled.

He looked like Clark Gable.

Now I'm older, Alfredo,

and I'm in the fifth year,

I'm not asking to go into the booth,

but couldn't we at least be friends?

"I choose my friends for their looks,

and my enemies for their intelligence."

You're too clever to be my friend.

I always tell my children

to be careful

how they choose their friends.

But you don't have any children.

But when I do, I'll tell them.

Don't cry. It's all right, I'm here.

The fire's out.

Mum, what happened?

You scoundrel!

Your sister could have burned

to death because of you!

You'll be the end of me!

I told you not to keep your films

near the fire.

You even burned my photos.

- You and your films!

- He was burning down the house.

Aren't you ashamed

of playing games with him at your age?

- What have I done?

- Who gave him the films?

Don't give them to him, he's mad.

All he talks about

is you and the cinema.

Swear you won't let him in again.

I give you my word.

May God send your father home,

he'll deal with you.

Dad is not coming back,

and I know why. He's dead.

No, it's not true!

He'll be back, you'll see.

THE END:

They smoke like chimneys.

Go and buy a ticket!

I'll make mincemeat out of you!

Signora Anna!

Don't blame me,

your wife told me to bring your lunch.

I told Mum

you didn't give me the film.

It wasn't your fault.

I thought you were joking
