The Devil's Brother Page #2

Synopsis: At Stanlio's urging, Ollio foists himself off as the dread singing bandit Fra Diavolo and unknowingly attempts to rob the notorious brigand himself. As punishment, Diavolo orders Stanlio to hang Ollio, but gives them a second chance when Stanlio bungles the job. Taking them on as his retainers, Diavolo travels to the Tavern de Cucu in his guise as the foppish Marquis de San Marco to rob the rich, aged Lord Rocburg and woo beauteous Lady Pamela. Stanlio drives Ollio and the innkeeper to distraction by playing "earsie kneesie nosie" and "finger wiggle," and gets drunk helping Ollio fill tankards of wine, sending him into an uncontrollable laughing fit. The boys plot to capture Diavolo but wind up with him in front of a firing squad.

What do you mean?

Well, as ye cast your bread

on the waters, so shall ye reap.

- That's very well thought out.

- I'm glad you agree.

You know, there's one thing

that's bothering me, though.

What's that?

We don't know anything

about being bandits.

- I never...

- Why, it's simple.

We can be bandits.

It doesn't require any brains.

Come on.

Your money or your life.

Your money or your life.

Your money or your life.

What?

Your money or your life.

We're a couple of bandits.

We've come to take your money.

You wouldn't rob me.

I can't afford to give you any money.

I'm a poor, hard-working old man.

The father of 16 children.

It takes all I can earn...

...to put bread in their

poor little hungry mouths.

I've got a sick wife...

...and Grandma don't feel so well either.

Look at me. Look at me.

I got one foot in the grave.

You wouldn't rob me...

...and see my little ones go without.

Would you?

Oh, thank you, sir.

From now on, I'll do the robbing.

On yonder rock reclining

That fierce and swarthy form behold

Fast his hand his carbine hold

'Tis his best friend of old

- Diavolo.

- Come on, boys. Run for your lives.

Run. Diavolo.

- Run for your lives.

- Come on.

- Diavolo.

- Diavolo!

- Run for your lives! Run for your lives!

- Run for your lives.

Tremble!

- It's Diavolo.

- Diavolo! Run for your lives!

Come on, hide.

What's going on here?

That was Fra Diavolo.

He's a bloodthirsty villain

and the terror of the countryside.

If you ever cross his path,

he'll cut your throat from ear to ear.

Have a care. Have a care.

Maybe we'd better not be bandits.

Tut, tut, tut.

Do you think that I'm perturbed

by his idle twaddle?

- Well, he said, "Have a care."

- Come on.

But suppose we meet this Diavolo.

All we have to do

is to watch our p's and q's.

Don't you think that I know a bandit

when I see one?

Well, I don't wanna walk around

with my throat cut.

My lord and lady have been robbed

My lord and lady have been robbed

- My lord and lady have been robbed

- My lord and lady have been robbed

My lord and lady have been robbed

My lord and lady have been robbed

Find out which way the coach came,

then assemble the troops.

My lord and lady have been robbed

- What are you going to do?

- Don't you see, dear?

This must be the work of Diavolo.

It's our one big chance.

- Do be careful.

- Careful.

I'll take charge of this one.

You've gotten us into enough trouble.

Stand and deliver.

Deliver to whom?

Tell him who you are, that'll scare him.

I am Diavolo.

Yeah, and if you're not careful,

he'll cut your throat from here to there.

All over the countryside.

You better watch your q's and p's.
