We were wrong, Mr. Grass.

We have to pay.

We need the job!

Any kind of job.

Sure.

No, no!

I know you "wops"!

Liars, swindlers,

allergic to work...

Belly in the sun

and hands on your belly!

These hands have restored the cathedrals of Pisa,

Lucca and Florence!

Whose son are you...

We are the sons

of the sons of the sons

of Michelangelo and Leonardo!

Whose son are you?

No, excuse us!

We're only here to ask for jobs.

Viva Firenze!

Viva Firenze!

We were in Florence once!

It's the most beautiful place

in the world!

Viva Firenze!

- The sun's going!

- Will you take your places?

You go by the train station?

No, next car!

After midnight.

There those two boys again.

It's them.

Do you guys take care birds?

Birds?

Then I got a job for you!

Hop in!

We got a hundred birds for a scene

we're shooting in a couple of weeks.

Just feed them and clean

the cages, morning and night.

During the day I'll try to find you

some more jobs around the set.

On night you can sleep

in the birdhouse.

This is it. You can get out.

The door is open.

What's the matter?

You're scared?

We ain't even

the time to thanks!

What the stink!

I'd die of pity for

somebody like you and me.

Good morning, father.

Movies are light.

You're not on a stage.

When the light hits your face

not from a light bulb

but natural, true sunlight,

when you feel it, the audience

has to feel it with you.

Now, get up.

And take your places.

- The sun? Where's going to be coming from?

- I don't know.

From up above. There are two

people in front of those panels.

Is it time?

Roll it!

"Air is the thing around

your head that...

"becomes...

lighter when you laugh."

Shut up!

For you, it's night!

"You're as beautiful...

as a snowy mountain."

"Beautiful as a snowy mountain."

"I'll put you in my shadow,

to keep you from melting."

How're we going to deliver them?

"Sometimes I fall in...

"Sometimes I fall in to your eyes...

who knows where I end up."

Oh, we're all friends...

Edna!

Oh, read another one!

"I should like to be the

petal of a giant flower

where you rest your head."

"You are as beautiful...

as a snowy mountain."

"I should put you

in my shadow...

to keep from melting."

Shakespeare!

Two snowy mountains,

coming up!

Not the wrong color!

Get them out of here!

I said white horses!

White!

Like two snowy mountains!

It's Okay?

Yeah, now get down here,

we will shoot it!

David, watch out!

You'll melt like a snowy mountain!

Come here!

Stay close where I am,

let me keep in my shadow!

"Keep you in my shadow"?

Are we speaking in verse today?

Eh, my dear?

"Andrea and Nicola invite Edna

and Mabel to lunch tomorrow
