dreaming right now.

Matilde, what are you saying?

Good riddance to both of them!

This house is no place

for a shameless hussy

who brings home

any man who comes along!

Let's go, Anna. Come with me.

I'm taking her with me now.

I won't let this hysterical

old woman insult her anymore!

Go on! Get out of here!

Out of my house!

Throw him out - and her too!

Come on, Anna.

Let's go!

Running off

in the night like that,

like some criminal.

What else could you do?

Go on putting up with her?

Now that I've met that woman,

I understand everything

you've been through.

You'll write to your father

from Rome.

Everything will work out.

Your mail, ma'am.

Dear Father,

I know I upset you.

Please forgive me.

I'm ready to apologize to your wife

and return home

until Carlo and I get married.

I eagerly await your reply.

Write me at Pensione Corelli,

via Palestro 51. Love, Anna.

Why doesn't he write back?

I may have hurt his feelings,

but I apologized.

Why is he treating me like this?

Don't worry.

Who knows what that woman's

telling him about you?

He could at least

write a few words.

I'm his daughter, aren't I?

I'll write him again. Who knows?

Our new life is beginning.

Just you and me.

We don't need

anyone else to be happy.

You'll see.

Your father will come around.

You're so beautiful.

Look.

I made a list.

Where did I put that?

Here.

A list of everything we need.

Clothes, a place

to live, furniture,

a ring, witnesses,

food, and flowers.

All that will take a lot of money.

Do you have it?

- Not one lira.

- What will we do?

I'll soon have all I need.

I'm meeting with my partner,

and I'll ask for an advance.

- Will he give it to you?

- Of course!

Good heavens! I've got to run.

We're meeting at 5:00.

I wouldn't want him to leave.

I'll come for you around dinnertime.

All right.

- Did you see him?

- No, we spoke on the phone.

He said he'd be here at 5:00.

I know.

But maybe I shouldn't be here.

Why?

I prefer to avoid him.

I'll set up a meeting for tomorrow.

He might catch on.

So what if he does?

I've got the upper hand here.

Then why wait?

Better to tell him now.

You're right.

The sooner we're rid of him,

the better.

- Want me to wait?

- No, I'll handle this alone.

Suit yourself.

But let's get one thing straight:

We've got the upper hand here.

Of course! Don't worry.

Look out. Here he comes.

- Hi, Rossi.

- Hi, Carlo.

- Can you wait a minute?

- Yes, sir.

I'll show you around.

- Nice office.

- This is all just temporary.

In fact, I'd like

your advice on furniture.

- All right.

- I'm really happy.

Cigarette?

What's going on?

I hear you called a few times.

- That's right.
