That's not going to make

the tables square-shaped.

Well, then we are the first ones

to have a pizzerie with round tables.

Let's have a look

what's down there!

What does it cost?

What's he saying?

Write it?

How much is it in lira?

Giancarlo, say:

Slow!

Everything okay?

You have an idea

for the pizzeria's name?

We call it:

"At Romano's"

"At Rosa and Romano"?

"Solino"

Just like back home.

Just like back home.

What's he saying?

Good luck!

Give it back to me!

Get it!

Give it to me!

- Come and get it!

The plates are full.

You put too much on them,

they are too big.

What do you mean, 'too big'?

Where have you been all the time?

How am I to pay the rent

if you make the plates that big?

People eating at our place

shouldn't stay hungry.

End of story!

Look!

Everything is flipped!

You bought a TV?

- That's going to make a lot of money for us!

You don't pay the rent

but you're buying a TV!

Noone's got a TV!

Not in front of the people, Rosa!

But that's what it's all about!

Now they'll all come to our place!

Where you wanna go with the boys?

Where did you take me?

The war is over

and they didn't change!

The war?

What are you talking about?

They are guests! Everything is fine.

They are shooting a movie.

A movie!

Come, Giancarlo!

From famous Italian

director Salvatore Baldi.

And they'll have their

"Mittagspause" (lunch break) in here.

Give me a cigarette!

A cigarette?

But you never smoked!

- Then I'll start smoking now!

Is that how you smoke?

Take a strong puff!

You calmed down a bit?

Now let's go downstairs

and you'll make the best pasta

of your life!

Yeah, but not for the fascists!

Anything else, Signor Baldi?

- A Grappa.

We'll make this scene

with a tracking shot.

It's not gonna work.

We only have four tracks.

Why aren't there any tracks?

You didn't say anything about

a tracking shot... - I say!

You're not able to think yourself?

Apparently not!

Not to mention this stupid

incompetent director of production!

Damn idiots!

It shouldn't be too hard

to find a few metres of tracks!

I can't squeeze blood out of a stone!

I say!

I'm also missing tracks sometimes!

Get out of my sight!

Bittersweet, just as life!

Much better!

Thank you, Signor Baldi.

Thank you!

I'm eating!

Can I come with you?

- You'll come anyway!

I want to make movies, just as you do!

That's not important.

What?

It doesn't matter if you're

making movies or something else.

What's important then?

To live with fire and passion!

Fire and passion?

How to do that?

Man, you're asking silly questions!

You have to tell me

how to do it!

For example,

if you walk through the streets

you'll have to watch everything
