- Sure, except I'm not working yet.

My friends, we have a newspaper

reporter among us.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- I presume you will be staying here.

- Enjoy your meal.

I refuse to believe that the people

of Great Britain, always friends...

feel it their duty to lead Europe

into a catastrophe...

by defending an African nation.

The resemblance is frightening.

Universally branded and without the

shadow of any kind of civilization...

against this nation of heroes,

artists, poets, saints, navigators.

What do you want, Ma?

Send the young man in here.

I want to have a look.

- Antonietta, she wants to see him.

- All right, miss.

Shall I take him?

If the Mediterranean

is a shortcut for England...

and a permanent zone for Russia,

for us Italians it is like itself.

Keep still for a minute

or you'll knock me over. May I come in?

- May I come in?

- Yes, and bring him with you.

You're so young

and distinguished-looking too.

You'll like it here.

I'm sure your mother wrote me,

you know. Poor woman.

- Did you show him the house?

- Of course, and he liked it too.

Good. You look like a nice boy.

That's all. You can go now.

One more thing

before I forget.

Look me in the eyes, boy. There's

to be no fooling around in this house.

We're churchgoing people. We respect

others and want respect in return.

I wouldn't come to your house

and do anything dirty.

So let's live in peace

and not bust each other's balls.

Ma, I don't want to eat today.

Aren't you hungry, baby?

I want to lie next to you, Mama.

My God,

why couldn't you stay home?

We brought two chickens with us.

You want me to throw you in the oven?

And then we want

to eat at Ostia.

Hey! Sit down with us.

Marcello, give him a chair.

You're family now.

- I'll put him with these friends, okay?

- Was it good?

That's short pasta.

No, you don't.

I'll put the baby here.

Go on. Sit down.

You know the saying:

"The devil takes whoever eats alone. "

Bucatini matriciana, cannolicchi

cheese and pepper, penne in hot sauce.

- Have the penne in hot sauce.

- Let me make up my own mind.

- What do you think?

- Take my advice. Cheese and pepper.

Cheese and pepper sauce. I already

had it for lunch. What else is there?

How about rigatoni

in anchovy sauce?

All right, spit out that gum. You're

gonna eat now. And you keep still.

Fettuccine with chicken giblets,

and then there's our specialties:

- Kidneys, tripe, snails, veal.

- Maybe the schiaffoni?

I may try them. Give me

a small portion because I had trouble...

- with my stomach all night long.

- Mama made pajata in the kitchen.

- Take my advice. Have the pajata.

- What's that, pajata?

It's calf gut filled with milk.

Federico Fellini, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (Italian: [fedeˈriːko felˈliːni]; 20 January 1920 – 31 October 1993) was an Italian film director and screenwriter.

His films have ranked, in polls such as Cahiers du cinéma and Sight & Sound, as some of the greatest films of all time. Sight & Sound lists his 1963 film 8½ as the 10th-greatest film of all time. In a career spanning almost fifty years, Fellini won the Palme d'Or for La Dolce Vita, was nominated for twelve Academy Awards, and directed four motion pictures that won Oscars in the category of Best Foreign Language Film. In 1993, he was awarded an honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement at the 65th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles.Besides La Dolce Vita and 8½, his other well-known films include La Strada, Nights of Cabiria, Juliet of the Spirits, Satyricon, Amarcord and Fellini's Casanova. more…
