The Girl From Tomorrow (Primadonna)

Stop it, get off! Mario...

Ma, tell 'im to stop it.

THE GIRL FROM TOMORROW

Again? Lia, you should know better at your age!

- See what he's doing? - You sit down!

Stop fighting with him all the time.

It's late, get a move on.

Get this coat on.

Ma, do you think he'll choose me this year?

Let's hope so, my angel.

You say your prayers,

and let's hope he hears.

- Hey, Lia? - What?

- Take this to the Virgin Mary. - Yes.

And do your coat up.

Your scarf...

Put it on your head!

Tie it up!

Come straight home when you finish!

Not this year either.

I'm glad.

Ma's still gonna make you go to Mass.

It would've been nice for you to see me.

So now I've got an excuse not to go.

She'll make you come anyway.

I'm not coming.

"Mary"

"as Joseph's bride-to-be,"

"found herself pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit."

"Joseph planned to cancel the wedding secretly."

"And thus,"

"the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream..."

Stop it.

"Saying: 'Joseph,"

"son of David,"

"fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife."

"She"

"will bring unto the world a son"

"and you shall call him Jesus."

"And when Joseph woke up,"

"he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him,"

"and embraced Mary as his wife."

"This is the word of the Lord."

"Thanks be to God and Christ."

"Let us pray."

Give me the bag.

"Mass is over, go in peace."

"Praise be to God."

How you doing?

Pietro, wait I can't find my bag.

Where could it have got to? Gimme a hand.

- Seen my bag? - No.

Dinner's ready.

- Mario, come on. - His feet are all crooked.

Poor thing's got crooked feet, he must've hurt himself.

We'll fix him later.

Sit down.

"In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."

Do you want an egg?

Good boy. Harder.

Potatoes came out nice and sweet, Pa.

We need to harvest the cabbages tomorrow.

Why don't you stay home with me tomorrow?

To do what?

Don't you worry, I'll find you something to do.

You can keep me company, mother and daughter.

I wanna go with Pa.

This is shameful,

you getting your hands dirty in the mud when your Pa is there to work.

Your brother will be doing it soon, too.

- Why? - What?

What's wrong?

Let her work if she wants to.

Lia

are we going to have a problem?

You're the one with the problem.

I didn't like him six months ago when he left, and I still don't now.

We don't have anything to do with those people.

See what you have to do.

Lia.

Are you ready?

Put this on...

Come on, it's late.

- Orlando? - Pietro.

Or should I say "Lord Mayor"?

Ah, you're the only one left who calls me that.

Ma'am? Little Mario, Lia...

All grown up!

I guess that means we've grown old.

If we don't hurry, they'll leave without us.

Aren't you coming?

No, we're going to Palermo for a concert.

- Oh, lucky you. - Lia...

It was a pleasure meeting you.

- Stop being so familiar. - What's wrong?

- See you soon. - I do hope so.

I'll put some vegetables aside for you.

That's kind, Pietro, thank you.

Goodbye.

Let's go... walk ahead with your brother.

A concert? Why aren't they coming to the procession?

And you invite him to our house!

Just think! What if people see us with them!

Are you kidding?

If it wasn't for him they would've taken all our land, your "people".

Don't forget what he did for us when he was mayor.

Let's go.

- Lia, there's a free rope, come. - No, you go, Ma.

Come on, you hold it.

Walk!

I'm walking... What Christian spirit!

You walk yourself!

Great...

Why did you go all the way to Germany?

No reason.

I'm not kidding.

Here.

You just disappeared, leaving me here.

No, Lia, don't say that. I never stopped thinking about you.

You're the reason I came back.

- Really? - You're the reason.

You came back for some girl you've seen three times?

Why, are you just "some girl"?

You're you. Okay?

Then if you came back for me, tell me why...

Why what?

Why you went to Germany?

No reason... To learn the language.

- Idiot. - It's true!

Languages are important. I learnt loads of words.

Guten Morgen...

Ich lie be dich...

- That make you laugh? - What's it mean?

I love you.

Who did you say it to?

What do you mean? I'm saying it to you!

- You sure? - You think I'd lie?

Did you learn the language well or do you have to go back?

I ain't going nowhere, I'm staying here.

Got some important things to take care of...

Like?

Can I have a kiss?

- You want a kiss? - No one can see us.

You can kiss me on the cheek.

I've gotta take care of you.

That's all.

I've gotta take care of these hands.

You shouldn't be ruining them picking vegetables.

No more.

I like picking vegetables, I do it 'cause I want to.

We'll get a house,

fill it with vases, flowers, plants, whatever you like.

I don't want your hands ruined anymore, and that's that.

We'll take care of your father, too, don't worry.

Forget about Pa, he doesn't want to know about us...

He doesn't want to know? Well, we'll make him know...

That father of yours...

We'll come here a few days, no one'll see us,

and the deed's done.

We'll sort everything.

What's this thing?

What?

- Who gave it to you? - This?

No one, I bought it myself.

- You sure? - Course.

Show me.

I don't want you putting these things in your hair!

You going around, dressed all dolled up... It's not stuff for you.

You look better like that, simple.

I don't like it.

- I need to go to the procession... - Wait up! Forget the procession.

Slow down, there's time.

- No, I wanna go home. - Hold on.

Let's meet here tomorrow.

That's your answer!

Lia... see you here tomorrow.

I'll be here at 4.

What are we gonna do, Lia?

I haven't done anything, Pa.

They're not good folks.

- Trust me. - Do you trust me?

Of course.

Then I trust you too.

- Don't talk to those folks. - I got nothing to say anymore to them.

You won't be coming here no more.

Why not?

It's his pride.

He's too proud, that's his problem.

You should've seen how he looked at me,

all stuck-up.

Let's see what he's got to say when I come back with his daughter

ready to get married. That hick!

That's his problem, that he's a hick.

Stubborn as a mule.

His daughter such a beauty,

and he's a poor yokel.

What's wrong?

You worried?

No need to worry, I'm getting married,

not going off to war.
