- She'll need a warm bed now!

But she is with us in spirit,

because Sicilian women...

with their hardships,

with their sacrifices,

march shoulder to shoulder

with Fighting men!

Of our fellow citizen in defense of his country was not a useless

Lt. Cadei is so handsome.

A lucky girl will catch him!

...that will carry us to the

final victory of the Fascist Empire!

For Victory!

Long live II Duce!

From now on I'll be at your side.

Forever. I promise.

Just give me time to grow up.

Now she'll take a lover for sure.

Once in the sack,

there's no looking back!

She knows that. She's 27 years old.

She knows her way

around the block!

Cusimano, the dentist,

has gone crazy for her.

One day he was distracted

as he walked by...

and pulled a healthy tooth

instead of the rotten one!

Dentist or not, why haven't

we seen her lately?

Guess she's too busy!

They say she's fooling

around with a shopkeeper in Catania...

with subversive tendencies.

Some say Cusimano, the dentist.

- A family man. It's disgraceful!

- When you're a born whore...

I hear the priest has received

anonymous letters...

saying her lover

is this man, that man.

The voice of the people

is the voice of God!

I can't talk to anyone about

my personal problems.

They're too intimate.

But you seem nice.

I'd like to confide in you.

Every day,

I'll light a candle for you.

But you seem nice.

I'd like to confide in you.

Every day,

I'll light a candle for you.

I'll even come to Mass on Sunday.

But you must protect

Malena Scordia from the town.

Yes, the widow... at least for

a few years. Then I'll take over.

I am always at your service.

- Renewed condolences, Malena.

- Condolences.

What a piece of ass!

Son of a b*tch!

You little runt!

Come back here!

- Can't you sing in Italian?

- Can't you speak German?

Renato, It's late.

Renato, get up.

Monster!

You're a fetishist,

a sadomasochist,

or even worse, a pervert!

- What is that?

- It's just a French hat, Ma!

Shame on you!

You shameless girl Can I keep them?

What are you looking at?

Get out of here!

Come here, you little pig!

- Goddamn pervert!

- What did I do?

You're not permitted to sit

at the table with us, understand?

- Answer me!

- Okay!

You no longer have the right

to speak to your sisters, understand?

Lock me up!

I'll show you!

You're not to leave this room

until further notice!

Son, at least have some soup.

It will do you good.

Pietro, he hasn't eaten

for three days.

In the Soviet Union,

they never eat.

Still... What is this sh*t?

The Fascists gave it to us.

At least it looks like coffee.

Sure, and I look

like Vittorio De Sica.

Everything they give us is terrible!
