Come on, I know you're pretending.

I know you're pretending!

You're pretending!

I'll work and find myself

a beautiful wife.

I'll make some money and when

I go back I'll find a beautiful wife.

I'll work and find myself

a beautiful wife.

I talk like a guy from the North.

I'll find a beautiful wife...

And work, work...

I'll make some money

and when I go back home,

I'll find myself a beautiful wife.

I'm not a southerner,

I talk like a northerner.

Are we late?

No, I'm early.

Gennaro Baldoni...

shall we let him take the exam?

He's not a brainy kid,

but he works hard.

How's Baldoni at maths?

He always does his homework.

He might get low marks,

but at least he tries.

Right...

our new colleague

who teaches...

- What's it called now?

- Art and Design.

- What's your opinion on Baldoni?

- I'm new here.

You know the kids better

than I do.

But you must have

some idea, right?

He seems a little reserved, shy...

He should let himself go a bit more.

That sometimes happens with drawing.

But it doesn't mean anything.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's not important for the exam.

I don't mind him taking it,

if you don't.

Fine.

Are we agreed then?

- Yes.

- Good.

Next one.

Here we are... Cardulli.

He lets himself go

a little too much.

Cardulli has me in stitches.

I had to tum round the other day

so he wouldn't see me laughing.

A bundle of fun...

I scolded him for making a din

"Cardulli, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, I was just explaining

to Lopomo what a woman is."

"Fine, let's hear it,

what is a woman?"

A woman

..is a man without a beard."

Can you imagine?

Okay, Cardulli is witty,

and he's intelligent too.

Except he doesn't do a thing...

Not a thing!

- And that's the problem.

- What shall we do?

I don't know, but he and English...

are at war with one another,

he can barely speak Italian.

What do you think about Cardulli?

Yes, he is a little impulsive.

A little!

But he's quite good at my subject,

he's got technique and imagination.

I think you should

let him take the exam.

Shall we let Cardulli take it too?

- Yes, all right.

- All right.

Have you written that down?

Right.

You're early, Dr. Boldrini.

I'm sorry about the mess.

And the smell, I've been cooking

cabbage, Dr. Boldrini.

I opened the window

but there's no breeze today.

- Don't worry.

- My daughter's in the big bed.

I pulled the blind down,

the sun was bothering her.

The light bulb's blown,

I'll roll the blind up, Dr. Boldrini.

I'm sorry about the light...

but I can't examine

you in the dark.

Have you got a fever?

I took it early this morning,

it was 38.5, Dr. Boldrini.

Mrs. Mauriello, I know what

my name is, Mrs. Mauriello.
