- Give me 89.

Who wants a number?

Buy a lottery ticket!

Darn it. I was dead certain this time.

Two weeks!

I even made an appointment

with the doctor for the certificate.

And instead I feel lousy.

I guess I'm not used to it anymore.

Here he comes.

Well?

Beat it.

What do you mean?

I mean I was late and there's no baby.

What can I do about that?

What can I do about that?

Are you trying to send

the poor girl to jail?

- Me?

- Yes, you!

- How could you think such a thing?

- That's what we think.

You could learn a thing or two

from my husband.

You may go in.

Thank you.

Come in.

Have a seat.

Sorry to bother you,

but I always give you fresh cigarettes.

So I thought you'd return the favor

and give me special treatment.

Of course.

- How's business?

- I can't complain.

What is this about?

Carmine, you're the man.

You should tell him.

He's shy.

A doctor is like a confessor.

Doctor, I

Ever since we got married,

it's been nonstop.

My God, there's never even

been a letup in this current.

Seven kids and I'm still nursing.

It's not my fault, Doctor.

The will is there.

You bet.

We married for love.

It's obvious the will was there.

But if this goes on,

who will provide for the kids?

He's out of work.

I have to provide for everyone, dear sir.

I understand.

Your wife's right.

Sure, but I'm right too.

We aren't animals.

Your wife is pretty, you're in love.

But you ought to control yourself, my boy.

It's not that I don't feel the urge.

I do feel it.

Stifle it.

So you don't want any more children?

No, it's just the opposite, Doctor.

But this guy... he's broken.

Just a minute.

The urge is there.

Excuse me. I don't understand.

What is it you want?

Another child!

God bless you! So you came

to have your husband examined?

Yes, sir.

Come over here then.

Sit down here.

Take your jacket off.

- The urge is there.

- I feel the urge too.

Cross your legs.

His leg reacts, it moves.

What do I care if his leg moves?

You're slightly anemic.

Let's check your blood pressure.

There's nothing wrong with your husband.

He's just very tired.

He's undernourished.

Is it serious, Doctor?

Of course not.

There's no need to worry.

It's a very minor thing.

- His pressure is 80.

- Eighty?

- Is that good?

- No, bad, Adelina. He's run down.

What should he do?

You should let him be.

You don't whip a tired horse.

You put him in the stable.

Let him be for two or three months.

Meanwhile, he'll take treatment,

he'll eat nourishing food,

and you'll have the baby next year.

Adelina, good afternoon.

Look at this.

I brought the medicine for Carmine.

Good. What is it?

Injections, some German stuff.

Don't listen to the doctor.
