I Vitelloni Page #6

- So what happened?

- They got married.

What a fine actress. We saw her

in that movie when we were in Rome.

What was the name of that picture?

Sandra, are you crying?

Yes, you are. What's wrong?

I'm scared.

Scared? Of what?

I don't know.

I'm just scared, Fausto.

I'm sorry.

Don't, Sandrina.

Don't worry. I'm being silly.

I just feel very sad.

Sandra, there's no reason.

I love you very much.

Let me hold your little hand.

I feel better now, darling.

I can't stand to see you cry.

I won't cry anymore.

Just be near me.

I'll always be near you.

- Let's go home.

- Yes, let's.

In the months that followed,

the most important events were

Riccardo's mustache - just like Fausto's -

and Alberto's sideburns.

Fausto had, by now,

shaved his mustache.

Occasionally his father and sister

would pass by the shop

to see him at work.

Leopoldo worked as usual.

He, in turn, cultivated a goatee.

It's scary.

I thought you'd like it.

And, at last, the eagerly awaited

carnival season.

It'll be better this year.

People seem anxious to celebrate.

Add a beauty mark on the other side.

- Nah, one's enough.

Is my dress ready?

- Yes.

Now leave me alone or your mother

will kill me. I have to do the sheets.

- I need bigger breasts.

- I padded it in front.

Look what he's done to himself,

such a good-looking boy.

- So, you're sweet on Alberto?

- What a mouth.

- Alberto, she's in love with you.

- Yeah, even Mama's noticed.

- Is she really loaded?

- Why, do you want to marry her?

Elvira, my hat.

I don't have your hat.

So who's got it?

Hold this. Mama.

You're still here?

I'm ready to go now.

I'm not going.

Then let me have your hat.

Come on.

- You know I don't wear hats.

What am I gonna do?

It's just not fair. When you wanna

have a good time, no one helps.

Look in the trunk. You'll find something,

but don't make a mess.

What's up? Why's she crying?

What's wrong?

- Nothing. Just a slight headache.

You and I are gonna have it out.

Alberto, come and look.

This chest is full of stuff.

Don't mess things up.

Your mother will have a fit.

Riccardo, I'm sure these are

the right moves. Watch me.

Who's this bearded guy?

That's my poor old man.

Leopoldo, look at these pictures.

Here's the hat.

Look what I found.

- They're hilarious.

- Who is that?

- I don't have a clue.

What a kook!

Look at me.

Look at Alberto!

Wanna dance?

- Yes, dear.

- Mama, we're gonna dance.

- Don't exert yourself.

Ever been up to the rafters

in this theater?

No, and I have no desire to.

Leopoldo, wait for me!

What a coincidence -

we're both Chinese.

I love you so much.

And I love you too.

- Why're you squeezing me?

- That's the Chinese way.
