The Victors Page #2

We took a lot of prisoners in Africa.

- but so long, no letter, nothing.

- That doesn't prove anything,

with a war going on.

You might get a letter any time.

You get a letter today, Giorgio?

Yes.

How is wife?

Oh, she's all right. Fine.

- And children?

- You know we just have the boy.

Oh, yes. He plays the baseball.

- Maria, what are you doing?

- You love wife, very much, yes?

- Yes.

- Yes, you love wife, I love husband.

- All right. Please.

- The whole world is full of love.

In peace, not so much love.

Only in war.

You love wife, you love me.

I love husband, I love you.

No, listen. You are a good man.

I know you want to help me,

but you are husband without wife.

I am wife without husband.

but why you think I don't let you

come in my house all this time?

because we are not animal.

Everybody can be animal.

but we are not animal.

You understand?

I cannot be, you cannot be.

So I think better

you don't come back...no more.

I think this very much.

- Honey, please.

- No.

You go away now

and don't come back.

Go find a woman.

You need woman. Please, go.

- You take.

- Oh, for God's sake!

Take! Thank you, but take and go!
