''Naked--
:11:05
As beautifuI as--
:11:07
Naked, you're as deIicate
as nights on an isIand...
:11:14
and stars in your hair--''
:11:20
It's beautifuI!
:11:22
So he's seen my niece naked!
:11:25
No, signora Rosa!
:11:27
Nothing in this poem
Ieads us to think that.
:11:32
The poem's teIIing the truth.
:11:34
My niece naked is just
as the poem describes her.
:11:39
So do me a favor
and teII Mario RuoppoIo...
:11:43
who's Iearnt a Iot from you...
:11:46
that he must never see my niece
again for the rest of his Iife.
:11:52
And teII him that if he does,
I'II shoot him.
:11:59
- Is that cIear?
- Yes.
:12:01
Good day.
:12:20
You're as white as a sack of fIour.
:12:23
I might be white outside,
but inside I'm red.
:12:32
You won't save yourseIf
from the widow's fury with adjectives.
:12:38
If she harms me, she'II go to jaiI.
:12:42
She'II be out in a coupIe of hours.
:12:46
She'II say she acted
out of seIf-defense.
:12:50
She'II say you threatened
the virginity of her damseI:
:12:55
with a metaphor
hissing Iike a dagger...
:12:59
as sharp as a canine,
as Iacerating as a hymen.
