An Unforgettable Fable That Proves Love, Family And Imagination Conquer All
Buon giorno, Principessa!
[Guido]
The game starts now.
You have to score one thousand points.
If you do
that, you take home a tank with a big gun.
Each day we will announce the
scores from that loudspeaker.
The one who has the fewest points will
have to wear a sign that says "Jackass" on his back.
There are three
ways to lose points.
One, turning into a big crybaby.
Two, telling us
you want to see your mommy.
Three, saying you're hungry and want
something to eat.
[Guido]
If you speak my name, I vanish. What am I? Silence.
[Guido]
[Giosue Orefice]: "No Jews or Dogs Allowed."
Why do all the shops say, "No Jews Allowed"?
[Guido]: Oh, that. "Not Allowed" signs are the latest trend!
The other day, I was
in a shop with my friend the kangaroo, but their sign said, "No
Kangaroos Allowed," and I said to my friend, "Well, what can I do? They
don't allow kangaroos."
[Giosue Orefice]: Why doesn't our shop have a "Not Allowed" sign?
[Guido]: Well, tomorrow, we'll put one up. We won't let in anything we don't
like.
What don't you like?
[Giosue Orefice]: Spiders.
[Guido]: Good. I don't like Visigoths.
Tomorrow, we'll get sign: "No Spiders or
Visigoths Allowed."
[Guido, being shipped to concentration camp]: You've never ridden on a train, have you?
They're fantastic! Everybody
stands up, close together, and there are no seats!
[Giosue Orefice]: There aren't any seats?
[Guido]: Seats? On a train? It's obvious you've never ridden one before!
No,
everybody's packed in, standing up.
Look at this line to get on!
Hey,
we've got tickets, save room for us!
[Giosue Orefice]: When can I see Mama?
[Guido]: When the game's over.
You're serving. You're not a servant. Serving is a supreme art.
God is
the first servant. God serves men but he's not a servant to men.
[Eliseo Orefice]
