:08:01
Excuse my garb, I was in bed.
:08:03
I get up late, like Petronius
:08:07
Business is bad
:08:10
Take a seat
:08:12
It's terrible in Naples too
:08:14
What can I do for you?
:08:16
I wanted to ask the lady something...
:08:19
about her friend, Paola Molon.
:08:21
Do you know her?
:08:23
Certainly
:08:25
Paola's father was a colleague of mine
:08:29
When he died last year...
:08:32
I remember I had some beautiful letters of his
:08:34
A kind of spiritual testament
:08:37
His daughter might like them,
:08:40
if I can find her
:08:42
She couldn't care less, believe me
:08:45
You're wasting your time
:08:48
She lives in Milan.
:08:49
Her husband's loaded with money...
:08:51
fabrics, cottons and other foolish
:08:53
things invented by the Chinese
:08:57
Miss Molon, now Mrs. Fontana, has had it good
:09:00
I gather you're not on very good terms with her
:09:03
People who are lucky don't deserve it
:09:07
Does a fortune ever fall into a hungry man's mouth?
:09:10
With the football pools sometimes...
:09:13
Did she have any boyfriends here in Ferrara?
:09:18
A lot.
:09:20
Only one was serious, as far as I know
:09:22
I think I did hear something about a great love
:09:26
That's the fate of secrets!
:09:28
Even you, from Naples, know about it
:09:30
So, it was a secret?
:09:31
Love at first sight
:09:34
He was engaged to Giovanna, a friend of hers
:09:38
Paola was trying to take him away from her.
:09:40
Nice of her!
:09:42
But she didn't succeed.
:09:43
Two days before the wedding, Giovanna died
:09:47
How come Paola didn't marry the boy?
:09:54
- Was he from here?
- Guido?
:09:56
No, he studied here
:09:58
Good-looking boy. I detest good-looking boys
