Roma Page #5

Pinocchio's nose was long

as long as Pinocchio's dong

Maestro, give me a "la. "

Sing this one with me.

All right, all right, I'm coming.

Torquato, bring this guy a drink.

- Cough up some money for the orphans.

- We gave last year.

Give me that. I'll serve them.

How about this, huh?

And you better eat it all.

We don't believe in leftovers.

Look at that.

Will you keep still!

What about the Rome of today?

What impression does it make on the

visitor arriving for the first time?

As arriving by car from the highway...

and taking the inevitable

raccordo anulare...

which circles the city

like one of Saturn's rings.

Scaratti at quarterback?

Christ! We'll never win.

- Five to zero. How do you like that?

- You should've stayed in bed.

Where the hell are they going?

- How long will it take? It's raining.

- We'll be ready in a minute.

- Tough life, eh, boys?

- Hold on tight.

Hey, you motherfuckin' gypsies, we're

gonna stomp the sh*t out of you today.

Go get your sister

and we'll bust her cherry for her.

Can you hear me?

Raise the boom as high as you can.

Move! Move! Move!

Kick the ruling class

out on its ass!

- Tell me what you see.

- Piazza di Siene.

I've got a tourist bus coming.

Shall I follow it?

Yeah, see if you can.

- You want a picture? I take it for you.

- Oh, thanks.

You very "bella. "

Can make a nice picture.

There. Don't move. Smile.

What are you framing now?

- Domes and bell tower.

- It's beautiful. I see the whole city.

The piazzas, the streets,

people on their way to work.

If you see people on their way

to work, it ain't Rome.

Get lost.

You're up so high

you must be seeing another city.

That's what they say about Romans,

and here we are sweating blood all day.

This isn't Rome anymore. Everyone's

gone crazy. Too much of a hurry.

They've become mean.

The true Romans have disappeared.

You don't think so?

Just take a look around.

All you see are filthy hippies,

students who don't want to study...

transvestites, drug addicts,

trash of all kind.

No, because you're forgetting

this film will be seen abroad.

If you show the perverts,

the street whores, negative aspects...

what are they going to think

of our lovely Rome?

What is it?

He wanted to ask you

if your film would show of Rome...

the important and eternal problems

faced by modern-day society.

And we're not only referring to

the problems in the educational system.

As the working world, with problems

in the factories, in housing.

We wouldn't want to see the same old

colorful Rome, easygoing, messy.

- The usual bland and commercial image.

- That's not the only Rome.

But I think a person

should be true to his own nature.
