The police dispense the crowd and Umberto returns to his cheap furnished room which he shares with his dog Flick. Umberto's lone friend is Maria, servant of the boarding house. She is a simple girl who is pregnant by one of two soldiers and neither will admit to being the father. When Umberto's landlady Antonia demands the rent owed her and threatens eviction if she is not paid, Umberto tries desperately to raise the money by selling his books and watch. He is too proud to beg in the streets and can not get a loan from any of his acquaintances. He contracts a sore throat, is admitted to a hospital and this puts a delay on his financial difficulty. Discharged, he finds that his dog is gone and, following a frantic search, locates him in the city dog pound.

Did you do your assignment?

You didn't have time, eh?

Certain things can happen|if you don't know your grammar.

Everyone takes advantage|of the ignorant.

Now there's more. You'll have|to wait till the 27 th for the rest.

This is ridiculous.|First 3,000, then 2,000 more.

Take them back to him.|It's all or nothing.

Either he gives me 1 5,000 lire|or I evict him. Go.

Well?

- Good evening.|- Good evening. Go right in.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?|Down there.

Madam is at the end of the corridor.

Maria, shut the door!

Her fianc.

I was the only successful one|in all Macerata.

Good-bye.

Till tomorrow.

Yes.

What is it?

Yes, a cold.|San Martino della Battaglia 1 4.

Third floor.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Come in.

Stay there. I'll come to you.

Who's Mr. Ferrari?

I am.

I got dressed|so I wouldn't keep you waiting.

Sorry. Umberto Domenico Ferrari.

Spalmagulli, Armando.

Please, come in.

I'll just shut my suitcase|and then I'm ready.

Mr. Umberto, are you seriously ill?

Yes, it's serious.

Serious.

- You're leaving us in the dark over here.|- Shut up.

Are you kidding?

What are you looking at?

Come here. Good boy.

If he realizes I'm leaving,|it'll be the end.

Down, boy.

Do me a favor.

Play with the dog a little.|Here's a ball and ruler.

I don't feel like playing.

I can't say good-bye to him,|or he won't let me leave.

Very well.

Go on, boy.

- What are you doing?|- Come and play with the ruler.

- Is your boyfriend down there?|- Leave me alone.

Mr. Umberto.

Don't give him any milk, all right?

And please keep an eye on him.

All right.

He's fine. He's playing.

Please take care of him.|I won't forget you.

I won't be gone long.

Shall we go, Mr. Ferrari?

Yes.

Give me your suitcase.

No, it's very light.|Just pajamas and a bar of soap.

Keep it, then.

Bye.

Maria!

This guy's healthier than I am.|What's he doing here?

I'd like to keep him a little longer,|so he can get the full treatment.

All right.

Thank you, Sister.

Say ''ah.''

That's fine.

Brush his tonsils with iodine.|You can go home tomorrow.

Excuse me, Doctor.

What?

I also have a pain here.

What kind of pain?

Nothing.

Can't you see your fever's gone?

It's just common tonsillitis.

If you were younger, I'd tell you|to have your tonsils taken out.

But what's the use, at your age?

You should have insisted.

Mr. Umberto,

you should have insisted.

I'd really like to save|a little money, you know.

I'll teach you how to get them|to let you stay here.

All I need is one week.

This ward is better than a hotel.

Did you ask the nun for a rosary?

Thank you. Oh, Sister-

He's such a nice person.

He'd like to stay a little longer.
