The Grumpy (Il burbero)

The Grump

One moment!

Mary!

Mary! Phone.

Florence, Italy.

- Hello? - Mary!

Giulio!

- How are you? - Good, and you?

- Me too, yes. - You finally got in touch.

I'm very sorry, but I didn't have time to call you earlier.

- Are you in Florence? - Yes.

- Listen. I have great news for you. - Really?

We are rich!

- I did some bombshell business. - How...?

No. I can't tell you anything.

So, take the first plane to Florence and come to me.

- To the Hotel Excelsior. - Okay.

But hurry up, do you hear? Make it quick! Do you understand?

Naturally. Bye for now.

Bye, dear. Bye.

Taxi! Taxi!

Kennedy Airport, please.

Florence, Italy. How much is it?

But there is no direct flight to Florence.

There is flight AZ427 to Pisa via Rome. It'll go in 30 minutes.

Damn it, but I have to go to Florence.

Well, from Pisa it only takes an hour by bus.

Ah... Then give me a ticket to Pisa.

Pisa...

Oh no, I'm sorry about that. Flight AZ427 is fully booked.

- When is the next plane leaving? - Tomorrow evening.

Listen, I have to leave now. My husband is expecting me today.

Is there no standing room?

Or the one or the other moves a little closer together, okay?

Listen, miss. Two more passengers would have to come.

If they don't show up, I'll comply with your request.

Alitalia flight AZ427 to Rome-Pisa please boarding, gate number 14.

I didn't really believe that he would come with me.

You know how men are. He's just stubborn.

Hey you! Hey you there! Where do you want to go?

This is my suitcase. You're not taking my suitcase with you!

Do you still have words? What dishonest behavior!

Well, everything is fine.

- And where is the other passenger? - This is me.

- Yes how? Are you traveling with two tickets? - Yes. I always take two tickets.

I have places 24A and 24B.

So I don't have any annoying, intrusive and whimpering neighbors next to me.

Ah, well... Gate 14.

- Boarding is already underway. - Thank you.

- Freddy, I'm scared. - You don't have to be afraid.

Oh, come on, I'm sure what will happen...

Hey my friend, excuse me.

- Do you mean me? - Yes exactly.

- Do we know each other? - No

- Then why are you talking to me? - Look, I have a problem.

I have to go to see my husband in Florence, and quickly.

And you have two tickets.

- Yes and? - Sell me one.

Doesn't even come in the bag.

Give me one of your tickets, please. I pay something on top of that, twice as much.

No.

- I have to take this plane. - Take the next one, or the one before it.

Now listen...

You're welcome...

You're Italian, like my father, and you have to help me.

If I fly right away, I might make it in time.

My husband is very sick.

Then don't touch me. It could be a contagious disease.

No, it is not contagious. I beg you, give me a ticket. Could you please.

- Definitely not. - But you have a heart made of stone...

Have you ever got one on your mouth?

Listen, give me the ticket. I will be quiet and not bother you, okay?

- Will you promise me? - I swear.

Let's go.

You were really very nice to me. I would like to thank you.

My name is Mary Cimino, but my name has been Machiavelli since I got married.

Okay, I don't say anything.

You're welcome.

The clouds look like they're made of whipped cream.

- What are you doing? - Toilet.

Hold it down.

Ladies and gentlemen, the flight captain informs you about this...

that we will land at the Galileo Galilei airport in Pisa in a few minutes.

Ladies and gentlemen, the flight captain informs you about this...

that we will land at the Galileo Galilei airport in Pisa in a few minutes.

- What should I do with it? - You need to fill this out for customs.

First and last name and your address in Italy.

Will you lend me your pen?

First I write.

Is your name "Tito"?

You have the same beautiful name as my godfather.

Thank you.

Excuse me, this is mine.

- Hey, watch out! - Darn it!

- You again! - Excuse me.

You know, I lied to you in New York. My husband is not sick.

- Is he dead? - No, he's fine.

- What does this mean? - Just kidding.

Well, thanks for the take away.

Mr. Lawyer!

Here I am!

- Did you have a comfortable flight? - Not at all. And how is the little one?

- I'm fine thank you. - I meant my car.

Perfect.

What does that mean?

- Nothing. - You go on.

Emilia?

Wait, I'll help you. I wear that.

Has anyone called for me in the past two weeks?

- So, lawyer Maruzzi... - Yes.

- Judge Brugnoli, Prosecutor Calderoni... - Yes... Yes.

- Salani, Bozzi, Colombini, Carli, Marcelli... - Yes... Yes.

- Pontini, Brossi, Bilanchini, Bolognini, Alfredi... - Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Skip that!

Miss Patrizia, Franca, Paola, Rita, Giuliana and Beatrice.

- And Elvira? - No, not Elvira.

- What about my fatty plants? - You have grown.

- Yes, but did you call me? - But what are you talking about, lawyer?

Nothing, forget it. I was wrong.

- How did the trial in New York go? - Very good, we lost.

Only in the first instance.

But in the suitcase I have documents with which I will nail my opponents.

One at a time, all in a row.

On a yellow wall.

What time did you order it for?

What time did you order it for?

What time did you order our clients for?

- Ah! In half an hour. - Well.

The best is over.

You're welcome.

- Here please. - Thank you.

- Who are you? Where is my husband? - Don't yell!

Do you wanna rape me

Let me go! No!

- No! - Shut up or I'll kill you!

What do you want from me?

That dress cost me $50, you son of a bitch!

Do you still have them all?

Okay, take the money and get out of here.

- Tell me the number combination. - But there's only my underwear in there.

Don't chat! The number combination!

8-5-4.

Are you sure?

Yes, because I live on Eighth Street, number 54.

You're kidding me.

Gentlemen, you can be confident about our lawsuit...

against Sacop GmbH.

In here is the evidence to nail our other side to the wall.

So... 40... 44... 504... 6.

In here...

are located...

the documented evidence...

with the nails to break the wall...

Come on...

Gentlemen, here is the evidence.

- How? - What's this?

That's a pair of underpants.

You have to be patient...

A shoe...

I think I know what's going on here.

- There must have been a mix-up. - What they do not say.

- I'll be right back. - Hopefully.

- Answer it, but be careful what you say. - Yes.

- Hello, is it you, Mary? - Giulio!

- Welcome! Have you had a pleasant trip? - Yes, yes, yes.

You sound a little strange. Is something wrong?

No, everything is fine. Everything okay.

I'm sorry, I can't come to you. We'll meet at ten on the Ponte Vecchio.

I Agree? Bye.

Will you let me go now that you haven't found what you're looking for?

I have to see my husband.

You're not going anywhere.

I know you're intimate with your man, but open up now!

Do you open up now or should I?

I open up now.

So this is where my evidence has landed. These are my pieces of evidence!

What a mess. Just thrown on the floor...

Maybe that's a...

What kind of a way of dressing is that?

So...

Yes, I'll show you right away.

This is your suitcase.

Nothing is missing. Can you see it? Her shoes...

Your clothes, your handbag...

Here we have your candies, all your stuff, your panties, your bras.

Yes yes I understand All right, I get it, you're cold.

Yes I close it.

So, we would have done that.

Adieu!

I usually don't get involved in other people's business...

but this time I make an exception and will free them.

Come on, talk. What is?

I don't understand. What's that thing in your mouth?

So fine.

Here was a man who wanted to rape me.

- What a man? - The one you just pushed down.

- Who pushed him down? - You.

- Me? - Yes.

There is no man here.

- Is that one of your little jokes again? - You might be a prankster.

How should I tie myself up and gag myself alone?
