Men and Wolves Page #4

Teresa!

I've waited for them all night.

Nothing!

They went round me,

but never came within range.

Yet they are hungry.

Come on, lie down.

You're too tired to eat now.

You'd better eat later.

I also brought you the cigars.

It's all here.

Open!

Get dressed, or I'll call people.

What a hard life they make you do!

Don't get fresh with me!

Here, I command!

Yes, yes...

You command on sheep, cows and chickens.

But men, you command them little!

Get dressed, chatterbox!

I want to call you Cinderella.

If I were your father I would be ashamed.

Up and down all day long,

to load stuff like a jackass.

Why?

You know a better life?

My own!

And what's better in it?

Although I toil all day,

I'm a lady and you a starving.

You see only cheese, apples... and hams!

And you?

- I?

But I travel the world!

I have fun!

I make love with whom I like...

Whereas you,

in a few years, you'll be already old,

with the life you lead.

Understand?

Listen!

But, you've never seen... a ship?

Rigoletto?

Why don't we get married?

You put in the money,

and I'll teach you how to live.

Even with mine and my father's money,

you'd stay a drifter.

Ricuccio!

My brother! - But why so much fear?

You haven't done anything wrong, yet.

Ricuccio!

I proposed her to marry me,

but she said I was too poor.

Go on, jest, you!

But why don't you go hunting,

instead of sleeping and scrounging meals?

He even shaves, every morning!

But if there's no wolves, is it my fault?

- Should they visit you at home?

Is it still snowing?

No. It stopped.

I can't take it anymore, Don Amerigo!

Every morning I must heat the water!

He washes worse than a woman!

Even talcum powder, like children!

Even doing the wolfer has become a toil!

Giovanni!

Giovanni!

Just from us you come to steal the meat?

You deserve it! This time, I laugh!

But you could've fired, no?

Shoot! Shoot!

But...

But it was already too far away!

I wouldn't have even hit it.

I...

I can't get to rest a moment.

We await wolves, and we get eagles.

It takes another sheep!

We are left only 3,000 lire,

and we're full of debts!

And in town they say the wolves are gone!

- But you trust the others or me?

It just takes the bait.

And you, you're looking for?

I?

Nothing!

I walk around...

This guy is always where you are.

Come on, Tommy, walk!

One day or the other

he would die in the street!

By now he stays up by a miracle!

I bet even he

has no desire to keep on living.

Oh, if I too could find

someone to kill me!

We're old, what do we live for?

We are no longer good for anything!

Come on, Tommy. Sit here.

See what life is like!

We killed so many wolves together,

and now, who would have said
