:57:04
- MicheIe, where did you come from?
- Sant'Eufemia, everyone's all right.
:57:08
- This is a friend of ours, a refugee.
- Please, Signora, come in.
:57:13
This way.
:57:26
These are old friends. This is the commander of the
German anti-aircraft station..
:57:32
MicheIe !
:57:36
- Cesira, a friend of the family.
- Sit down. - Help yourselves.
:57:43
May I ask you how it is that you
managed to procure this loaf of bread?
:57:47
A soldier made us a present of it and we gave
him a present. You know, it's wartime...
:57:52
- An exchange, in other words.
- That's right.
:57:55
That's forbidden. Who was the soldier?
:58:04
- I will go and make the coffee.
- I'll give you a hand.
:58:07
- Sit down.
- I'll help you, I'll help you.
:58:10
MicheIe, eat some cake.
:58:16
- Your occupation?
- I'm a graduate.
:58:21
- And what did you study?
- Literature.
:58:25
I studied philosophy at the university of Rome.
:58:27
Then you can understand how we Italians can take
whatever happens to us philosophically.
:58:33
No, I don't. In Italy there are many things I find
confusing, especially the great class distinctions.
:58:39
People like you who have everything
and your peasants have nothing.
:58:43
This is not our usual daily meal.
My mother... cooked it in your honor.
:58:47
Yesterday I went to look at some of your peasants...
Like swine, dear sir, they all live like swine.
:58:53
You don't understand,
they live that way because they want to!
:58:56
You! You are the leaders of Italy!
It's your fault!
