How are you, Commendatore?

I was just wondering|what Flike was doing here.

He's playing.|He plays all day long.

He's so clever.|How adorable.

He's so cute.

- How are you?|- Fine, thanks.

- Can I buy you a cup of coffee?|- I can't. My bus is leaving.

-Just a cup of coffee.|- No, thanks. The bus is leaving.

- A drink. Something.|- Really, I'd love to, but I can't.

- At least allow me to walk with you.|- Of course.

What are you doing these days?|- Nothing.

I'm a pensioner, so I'm just getting by.|I don't do anything.

Lucky you, with nothing to do.

You're late, sir.

Do you think|there's going to be a war?

Who knows?

We're leaving.

Good-bye.

- Congratulations once again.|- Congratulations.

Thank you, dear.

- All the best, dear.|- You promised to come visit us.

- I promise.|- Come see how the baby has grown.

All right.|Give the baby a kiss for me.

- All the best.|- Thank you.

- All the best.|- Thank you. Good-bye.

Don't forget tomorrow,|and don't be late.

We can't be late.

Good-bye, dear.

Good-bye.

- Paolo.|- What is it?

What is it, Olga?

My dear.

Careful.

Flike, you naughty boy.

You had us all so worried.

You ran away, didn't you?

Have a piece of cake.

She wants to make|one big formal living room.

Mr. Umberto, eat the cake.

What's the matter, Mr. Umberto?

I'm tired.

Of her?

It's a little of everything.

Wherever you go,|you'll be happier than you are here.

That's the way it goes.

Go on, eat.

Where's he going?

Leaving already, Mr. Umberto?

Yes.

Where are you going?

I found a place.

Nearby?

Yes.

Then we'll see each other|from time to time.

Listen, you need to leave as well.

There are lots of jobs in Rome.

Don't stay here.

She'll kick me out the minute|she finds out I'm pregnant.

Can't you go back to your hometown?

My father would beat me.

Will we meet again, Mr. Umberto?

I left a few things in the dresser.|You take them.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Get rid of the one from Florence.

Yes, Mr. Umberto.

I'm sorry, but you can't|bring the dog on.

- Before 8:
00 you can.|- You telling me the rules?

If it's a hunting dog, you can.|Otherwise, you can't.

I could say I'm going hunting.

For what?

Couldn't I have a gun in my suitcase?

All right.|Where are you getting off?

Via Leccosa.

Go.

- That whistle just keeps blowing.|- I'm so sleepy in the morning.

He's little, but he's mischievous.

- No, he wouldn't hurt a fly.|- If you say so.

- How many dogs do you have?|- About 20. Why?

Do you keep them here all day long?

We have fresh air and space.

I'd like to board my dog here.|Can I see where they sleep?

- They sleep in the house with us.|- Three of them sleep with me.

A blind one, plus two others.
