:53:00
What am l supposed to say ?
:53:04
Well, Excellency, the wish to found
a Christian family

:53:08
is very much welcomed
by the Church,

:53:11
and Christ's presence at Cana...
:53:13
Let's not lose track,
Father, please !

:53:15
l mean to talk about
this one wedding,

:53:17
not the Cana Wedding,
or wedding in general !

:53:22
Has Don Tancredi proposed already ?
When did he ?

:53:26
Well, l don't think he has made
any straight proposal, yet.

:53:30
But Miss Concetta has no doubts.
:53:33
His care, his looks, his words...
:53:37
The little Princess
is sure he loves her

:53:40
and she feels the proposal
is about to come.

:53:43
Don't worry, Father,
we're not in danger, yet.

:53:47
These are the fantasies
of a romantic, shy girl.

:53:51
- Why do you say ''danger'' ?
- Father, can you picture her...

:53:57
as ambassadress
to Vienna or St. Petersburg ?

:54:00
l love Concetta, l like her.
She's so quiet and submissive.

:54:06
- But Tancredi... Tancredi has
a great future ! - Yes, but...

:54:10
Come on, Father, how could ever
Concetta, so virtuous and shy,

:54:16
help a husband climb the slippery
stairs of the new society ?

:54:21
Tancredi needs money.
:54:24
Concetta will get a dowry,
of course.

:54:27
But the fortunes of the family will
have to be split in seven !

:54:31
Mark, l said seven.
:54:33
Tancredi needs a lot more.
:54:38
One of the Sutera girls,
for instance.

:54:41
Yeah, l know, l know.
They're so ugly, poor things !

:54:45
- But so rich, Father, very, very
rich ! - Yes, but what about...

:54:48
What ? Love ?
:54:51
Yeah, right, love ! lt moves
heaven and earth for a year,

:54:56
and nothing for the remaining
thirty. l know what love is.
