Happy as Lazzaro (Lazzaro felice)

Lazzaro!

Lazzaro, are you staring into the void?

Come on, they're waiting.

Tidy your hair at least.

Let's go.

Marin], gimme the light bulb, please.

No! I told you, it's our turn!

- But everyone there is sleeping. - They've woken up.

I hope it blows!

Mum, could I have the one from the kitchen?

No one touches that one.

- Anyway, what do you need it for? - To see!

Let me sleep, please.

Oh, Mariagrazia...

Mariagrazia!

Listen, they're singing for Mariagrazia.

Listen...

They're saying you've got a fat ass.

Have I got a fat ass?

Go on, go to the window!

Gimme the light bulb!

Thank god!

- Aren't you gonna go? - No.

- Sure? - Of course I'm sure.

Okay then.

What are you doing?

I'm going.

No, Antonia!

Please, Antonia.

What's all this noise about?

Call Mariagrazia!

She can't.

- Why not? - She's sick.

Sick how?

She's got an incurable disease.

Should I be worried?

It's that she can't... move her ass.

Come on, Giuseppe...

Are you crazy?

Tonight?

It's now or never.

My little rice flower

You're like a carnation in a vase

You're like a carnation in a vase

You bring the angels down from heaven

Ah, about time.

- Shall we drink a toast? - We haven't got anything.

- We've got Marsala. - There's hardly any left.

As long as we drink something.

Lazzaro, get Grandma, bring her to the table.

Cheers!

All the best!

I'm thirsty...

Who drinks alone, will choke.

Let me have a drink.

Cheers!

There's a bit left.

None left.

Doesn't matter.

You expecting to eat too?

Don't give them the anchovies.

The happy couple should eat first or it's bad luck.

You're like a bunch of hungry animals.

Can I just say a few words?

Seeing as we're all here,

I wanted to tell you that...

me and Mariagrazia, we thought we'd...

we'd leave Inviolata.

To see if city life is any better.

They are nuts!

I don't blame you.

And this one?

What's this doing here?

- Did you close the chicken coop? - Yes.

Lazzaro!

Grab this hen, will you?

Put her back with the others.

What are you doing?

She got out.

What's going on up there?

They're celebrating.

Lucky them! Having fun!

Is there anything to eat?

Yes.

Seeing as you're already here,

would you cover my shift looking out for the wolf?

Sure.

I'll close you in, keep you safe.

If I need to go somewhere?

Call me!

Call me and I'll come down.

Got it? Call me.

Carletto?

Carletto!

He can't hear me.

HAPPY AS LAZZARO

They threw him in a pit with two lions.

They were big lions too!

But they didn't eat him.

So the guards got mad

and decided to torture him even more.

They wanted to cut his head off.

You know what they did to it?

They sharpened the axe

until it was gleaming...

And then...

Pippo!

Lazzaro, spit it out!

You Okay?

Thanks.

Don't thank me, he almost killed you!

Mariagrazia... let's go!

Coming!

Lazzaro!

Hey everyone...

Nicola is here.

Hey, Catirre!

Here we are.

Catirre, you sunbathing?

It's good for the bones!

Where are the kids?

Hey kids, come here, line up...

Get in line.

Let the little children come to me.

This is for you.

Come here, you rascal.

You want a sweet?

Come here, you little thug!

Angelica.

Here you are!

Stefania!

Here you are!

You're a big girl...

You already got one!

Come on, Father Severino, we need to bless the thresher...

Come on, we haven't got all day.

Let's do this blessing. Let's go there, where the tree is.

The Lord sees and provides for us.

Mariuccia! How are things?

Bad, Nicola, bad!

What did you bring us today this time? Did you bring more light bulbs?

Why do you need light bulbs

with this beautiful moon you have here? And it leads you into temptation...

Look at how this baby looks like me, did you ever notice?

Always fooling around.

Lazzaro, come on, grab the crate, bring it inside.

Come on, you're usually the quickest, the most energetic.

The others need to look and learn.

Be good.

Now let's bless this thresher too.

Now this is what you call wine!

Wine from Inviolata!

In the big city, flavours get contaminated, spoiled...

This is what being rich is about,

our stuff doesn't taste of anything. You have proper wine, proper bread!

That's why you snatch real bread out of our mouths.

If only the Marquise knew how well I treat you,

I treat you all like a bunch of marquises!

She'd throw me off the cliff... That woman...

what is it you call her?

Come on, I know it. What is it you call her?

Come on, tell me.

The poison viper.

The poison viper, yes, that old pork rind...

The poison viper?

Right, let's do some maths here.

So...

Five crates of tobacco...

then there are the pulses,

a bushel of lentils...

two bushels of chick peas...

Can we take that baby away, please?

So if I subtract...

a roll of wire fencing, the gasoline...

the anchovies, the household goods...

We have...

The capons? Where are...

They're all dead.

All dead?

The wolf got them.

Wolf or no wolf... the capons are missing,

thus I have to add them to the debts.

So this month, too... the debt increases.

So this month again we worked for nothing.

We should break this rat's legs!

And I warn you...

the viper... is about to come.

So... Antonia?

The curtains must be washed, eh! Not like the other time.

So, Father Severino...

Nicola, it's better if you come because there's a big problem.

What happens here?

What are you doing... up there?

We want to...

And you think you can just go like that?

You can't. You need the Marquise's permission!

And then you know what would happen to your families.

Is that what you want to do?

To your families?

The mistress is sending us all away, it's not a joke?
