00:04:31THE END
00:04:32WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING
00:04:33GRAVE MATTERS OF STATE,
00:04:34MILADY.
00:04:35MIND, WHO IS A GRAVE MATTER
00:04:36OF STATE, MILORD?
00:04:37WHERE ARE THE GOLD
00:04:38AND SERVICE PLATES?
00:04:39THE GOLD
00:04:40AND SERVICE PLATES?
00:04:41I DON'T KNOW.
00:04:42I CAN SUGGEST.
00:04:43YOU CAN SUGGEST NOTHING.
00:04:44WHAT? WHAT PLATES,
00:04:45MY DEARS?
00:04:46THE DUTCHESS OF MILAN
00:04:47ARRIVES ON MONDAY.
00:04:48FOR THAT OCCASION
00:04:49I'VE ORDERED GOLD AND SERVICE PLATES.
00:04:50SO IF MILADI ENTRUSTED CHILLINI WITH THE COMMISSION,
00:04:52HEAVEN KNOWS IF THEY'LL EVER BE FINISHED.
00:04:54CHILLINI?
00:04:55WHAT? CHILLINI AGAIN?
00:04:56AM I NEVER TO BE RID OF THIS SCANDLE?
00:04:58I...
00:04:59THIS IS NO TIME TO DISCUSS SUCH MATTERS, MY DEAR.
00:05:02THIS IS JUST THE TIME TO DISCUSS IT, MY LORD.
00:05:05ARE WE TO BE FORCED TO EAT FROM TROUGHTS LIKE PIGS
00:05:07BECAUSE SOME GOLD SMITH NEGLETS HIS DUTIES?
00:05:09YOU SHOULD'VE FORCED HIM TO DO IT.
00:05:10I SHOULD'VE.
00:05:11CERTAINLY YOU SHOULD'VE FORCED HIM.
00:05:12I SHOULD'VE.
00:05:13LIKE...
00:05:14WHAT AM I...
00:05:15THERE'S NO...

00:05:20THE COUNCIL IS DISMISSED.
00:05:22WE...
00:05:24WELL, IT'S DISMISSED.
00:05:28YOU SHOULD'VE FORCED HIM TO WORK, EVEN AT THE POINT OF A SORD.
00:05:31MUST EVERYTHING BE LEFT TO ME?
00:05:33AM I RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE CHILLINI NEGLETS HIS DUTIES?
00:05:36BECAUSE HE RUNS AROUND MURDERING PEOPLE?
00:05:38THERE WERE CERTAIN ACTIVITIES OF CHILLINI IN VENICE MORE GRIEVOUS THAN MURDER.
00:05:43MORE GRIEVOUS THAN MURDER?
00:05:45WHAT COULD BE MORE GRIEVOUS THAN MURDER?
00:05:47AT THIS VERY MOMENT, AN EMISSARY FROM THE DOGE FRANCESCO FASCARE
00:05:51AWEIGHTS YOU.
00:05:52AN EMISSARY AWAY...
00:05:55I MEAN...

00:06:32THE UH...

00:06:53OH.
00:06:54UH...
00:06:55YES.
00:06:56MILADY CHOOSES TO REMAIN.
00:06:58BUT YOU CAN GO.
00:06:59THERE'S NO SENSE IN YOUR STAND...
00:07:02WELL, WHAT IS IT?
00:07:06MUST I SPEAK, YOUR EXCELLENCY?
00:07:08WELL...
00:07:09I...
00:07:10NATURALLY.
00:07:11I MEAN, HOW...
00:07:12OTHERWISE, HOW SHOULD WE EVER...
00:07:13I MEAN, IF...
00:07:14IF SOMEONE'S BEEN INSULTED...
00:07:16WE'VE GOT...
00:07:17THERE'S...
00:07:18YES, WELL...
00:07:19WHAT IS IT?
00:07:20COME, COME, MY CHILLE.
00:07:21YOU MUST NOT BE FRIGHTENED.
00:07:22I WAS SEATED IN THE GARDEN OF MY FATHER'S PALACE.
00:07:28THE MOON WAS HIGH.
00:07:30THE PERFUM OF FLOWERS FILLED THE AIR.
00:07:33I SAT THERE DREAMING OF MY PRINCE.
00:07:35OH.
00:07:36SOMEONE YOU KNOW?
00:07:37JUST MY PRINCE.
00:07:38ALL GIRLS DREAM OF A PRINCE, YOU KNOW.
00:07:40OH, IS THAT SO?
00:07:42WELL, I NEVER KNEW THAT.
00:07:43IT'S QUITE CUSTOMARY WITH YOUNG GIRLS.
00:07:45OH.
00:07:46YES.
00:07:47SO IT IS.
00:07:48PROCEED.
00:07:49IN THE GARDEN HE APPEARED, LIKE A WRAITH IN THE MOONLIGHT.
00:07:52HE WHO?
00:07:53THIS MONSTER CELLINE.
00:07:55DON'T INTERRUPT.
00:07:56HE APPEARED FROM WHERE?
00:07:58OVER THE GARDEN WALL.
00:08:00I THINK HE WAS BEING PURSUED.
00:08:02YOU SHOULD HAVE SCREAMED FOR HELP.
00:08:04I TRIED TO SCREAM, BUT MY VOICE FAILED ME.
00:08:07I TRIED TO FLEE.
00:08:09I WAS POWERLESS TO MOVE.
00:08:11HIS EYES, THEY HELD ME.
00:08:14I WAS HIS ONE HYPNOTIZED.
00:08:17HE HYPNOTIZED YOU?
00:08:19WHAT DID HE THEN DO?
00:08:20HE READ TO ME.
00:08:21READ TO YOU?
00:08:23HE HYPNOTIZED YOU AND THEN HE READ TO YOU?
00:08:26THIS ALL SOUNDS VERY SILLY TO ME.
00:08:28ALESSANDRO.
00:08:29YOUR EXCELLENCY MUST HEAR FURTHER.
00:08:32VERY WELL.
00:08:33HE READ TO YOU.
00:08:34FROM A BOOK, I SUPPOSE.
00:08:36A SMALL BOOK.
00:08:37GOLD IT WAS, ENCRUSTED WITH JEWELS.
00:08:39YES.
00:08:40WELL, NEVER MIND ABOUT THE BOOK.
00:08:41WHAT DID HE READ?
00:08:43A POEM.
00:08:45WITH WORDS SUCH AS ONLY VENUS AND ADONIS MIGHT HAVE SPOKEN ON THEIR BRIDAL NIGHT.
00:08:50DROP THOSE LUSHEOUS LIPS TO MINE.
00:08:52THOSE RIPE, THOSE CORAL LIPS OF THINE.
00:08:55GIVE ME SOFT A VELVET KISS.
00:08:59THE CADENCE OF HIS VOICE WOVE ABOUT ME A MAGIC SPELL.
00:09:05I MUST HAVE SWOWNED.
00:09:07I DON'T KNOW.
00:09:09I DON'T CARE.
00:09:10YOU FORCED ME TO COME HERE.
00:09:11I'VE TOLD MY STORY SO BOO.
00:09:13IT'S MY OWN AFFAIR.
00:09:14HE CAN COME OVER MY GARDEN WALL ANYTIME HE WANTS TO.
00:09:17YOUR EXCELLENCY, THIS IS, THIS IS VERY UNEXPECTED.
00:09:21I, I, I MUST APOLOGIZE FOR THIS INTROACH.
00:09:24OH NO, IT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT.
00:09:25THERE'S NO BOTHER.
00:09:26AM I TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS UGLY,
00:09:29SQUAT LITTLE GOLDSMITH, HOLD SUCH FASCINATION FOR WOMEN?
00:09:32OH, HE'S NOT UGLY.
00:09:33OH, I'M AFRAID M'LADY MISTAKES CELLENY FOR HIS APPRENTICE.
00:09:36HIS APPRENTICE?
00:09:37I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH HIS APPRENTICE.
00:09:38HOW DARE HE?
00:09:39IT'S CELLENY'S BOAST THAT HE IGNORES ALL ETHICS AND LAW.
00:09:42YES, HE RUNS AROUND HYPNOTIZING PEOPLE.
00:09:45I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH HIS APPRENTICE.
00:09:47HOW DARE HE?
00:09:48IT'S CELLENY'S BOAST THAT HE IGNORES ALL ETHICS AND LAW.
00:09:51YES, HE RUNS AROUND HYPNOTIZING PEOPLE.
00:09:55THAT'S A TERRIBLE THING TO DO.
00:09:57HOW CAN ANY WOMAN BE SAFE WITH SUCH A CREATURE AROUND?
00:10:00OH, HE'S CARRYING THINGS A LITTLE TOO FAR.
00:10:03I MEAN, HE MUST BE PUNISHED.
00:10:04I'M AFRAID THAT PERHAPS WE'LL HAVE TO HANG HIM.
00:10:07THEN M'LORD AGREES TO HIS EXECUTION?
00:10:09YES, I'M AFRAID SO.
00:10:10WE MUST.
00:10:12I MEAN, IT'S TOO BAD.
00:10:14HE DOES MAKE SUCH PRETTY THINGS.
00:10:16WAIT A MINUTE, MY LORD.
00:10:17PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO TEMPER JUSTICE WITH WISDOM.
00:10:20BUT, MY LADY.
00:10:21I AM THINKING OF THE GOLDEN PLATES.
00:10:23ARE WE TO BE OUTSHOWN BY THE DUTCHESS OF MILAN?
00:10:25AFTER ALL, HE'S MURDERED NO ONE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.
00:10:28OH, I KNOW, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
00:10:30I MEAN, HE MIGHT SUDDENLY MAKE UP HIS MIND.
00:10:32HOW CAN YOU TELL?
00:10:34OH, I AGREE WITH MY LORD.
00:10:35AS YOU'RE ALWAYS AGREEING, WHY DON'T YOU-
00:10:37WE MUST HANDLE THIS MATTER WITH GREAT SHRUDNESS, ALESSANDRO.
00:10:40FIRST, HE SHALL COMPLETE THE PLATES.
00:10:42THEN WE SHALL HANG HIM.
00:10:43THE FINISH OF HIS HANDYWORK WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF HIS DOOM.
00:10:46YES.
00:10:47NEATLY SAID.
00:10:49THE FINISH OF HIS SHALL BEGINNING AT THE DOOM.
00:10:53VERY GOOD, ARTAVIOLO.
00:10:56YES, MY LORD.
00:10:57YES.
00:10:58REMEMBER, ALESSANDRO, YOU HAVE MADE YOUR DECISION.
00:11:01YES.
00:11:02YES.
00:11:07BUT IS YOUR EXCELLENCY GOING TO ALLOW THIS-
00:11:08I HAVE MADE MY DECISION.
00:11:10YES.
00:11:12DOOM.
00:11:13THE FINISH IS THE BEGINNING OF HIS DOOM.
00:11:17I MEAN, HE FINISHES THE PLATES AND WE FINISH HIM.
00:11:21WHAT?
00:11:23YOUR EXCELLENCY.
00:11:24YES.
00:11:25I'LL BRING A MESSAGE FROM YOUR NEPHEW, THE COUNT MARFIO.
00:11:27WHERE IS HE?
00:11:28IN BED, WITH TWO LEACHES ON HIS NOSE, TO REDUCE THE SWELLING.
00:11:31LEACHES?
00:11:32WELL, GO ON.
00:11:33SPEAK UP.
00:11:34WELL, WE WERE PASSING THE DUAMO, WHEN SUDDENLY WE WERE SET UPON.
00:11:37WE ATTEMPTED TO DRAW, BUT OUR ASSALENT KNOCKED THE SWORD OUT OF COUNT MARFIO'S HAND
00:11:40AND SENT ME SPRAWLING INTO THE GUTTER.
00:11:42THEN THE WRETCH LEAPED UPON COUNT MARFIO'S BACK, FORCING HIS FACE INTO THE FILTH OF THE STREET.
00:11:47WELL, WHY SHOULD HE DO THAT?
00:11:48BECAUSE HE CLAIMED THE COUNT MARFIO HAD ONCE CALLED HIM A DETESTABLE LITTLE FLY THAT SHOULD BE EXTERMINATED.
00:11:53AND HE SAID THAT WHILE THE COUNT MARFIO WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO EXTERMINATE HIM,
00:11:57HE WOULD GIVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY OF EXTERMINATING ANY OTHER FLY IN FLORENCE.
00:12:00AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
00:12:01WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT HAPPENED?
00:12:03HE ACTUALLY FORCED THE COUNT MARFIO TO SWALLOW TWO LIVE FLIES.
00:12:07OH, TWO.
00:12:08BUT YOU'VE NOT YET NAMED THIS ASSALANT.
00:12:10PENVENUTO CIULINI, YOUR EXCELLENCY.
00:12:12OH, THE ASSASSIN.
00:12:14HOW DARE HE LAY HANDS ON A DE MEDICI, MY OLD NEPHEW.
00:12:18THIS IS THE END.
00:12:19I MEAN, PLATES OR NO PLATES.
00:12:21DUTCHESS OR NO DUTCHESS.
00:12:22I MEAN, WE'VE GOT HERE.
00:12:24ORTAVIANO, GET THE GUARD.
00:12:25PORINO, DO SOMETHING.
00:12:26WHERE'S MY ARMOUR?
00:12:28I WANT MY SWORD.
00:12:29OH, YES, HERE IT IS.
00:12:31NEVER MIND.
00:12:38COME IN.
00:12:58COME IN.
00:13:03COME IN.
00:13:07I'M UP HERE, YO MONTHEW.
00:13:08OPEN UP.
00:13:29What's wrong?
00:13:30Hurry up or I'll shave your ears off.
00:13:37Let's go.
00:13:38Let's go.
00:13:41Has something happened, Master?
00:13:42Has something happened?
00:13:43Isn't something always happening?
00:13:45Today it was Mafio.
00:13:46Count Mafio?
00:13:47That pig Mafio.
00:13:48I changed his diet.
00:13:49You didn't dare touch a de Medici.
00:13:51There are many de Medici.
00:13:52There is only one Cellini.
00:13:54Men like myself never happened twice.
00:13:57Anyway, I closed his scurrilous mouth with appropriate spider food.
00:14:01You must flee, Master.
00:14:02From spiders?
00:14:03They attacked me in the streets.
00:14:04Two of them.
00:14:05One I killed.
00:14:06Miss Mafio I dined.
00:14:07And then I hung a ruby necklace on him that will not wear off for many a day.
00:14:10You killed him?
00:14:11I don't know.
00:14:12I was forced to flee.
00:14:13I left my dagger sticking in his throat.
00:14:15But you're wearing your dagger.
00:14:17Are you trying to make me out a liar?
00:14:20Have you finished the plates?
00:14:22Yes, Master.
00:14:23Hey, you butcher.
00:14:24You fool.
00:14:25Will you never learn?
00:14:26These aren't even good enough for the stupid old Duke.
00:14:27Now get out before I fix you a crown that won't come off.
00:14:52Angela.
00:14:53Angela.
00:14:54Hello.
00:14:55Angela.
00:15:10Angela.
00:15:14Hello.
00:15:22Well, I guess I was sleeping.
00:15:27Of course you were.
00:15:29I've been waiting all morning.
00:15:31Have you, my Angela?
00:15:33Are we modeling today?
00:15:34Time enough for that tomorrow.
00:15:37Well, then I might as well go home.
00:15:40Must I see you only when I have a chisel in my hand?
00:15:43Do you never think that I am a man as well as an artist?
00:15:45Mother says not to.
00:15:46Oh, blast the old hag.
00:15:48Yes, sir.
00:15:49Say, yes, benvenuto.
00:15:51Yes, benvenuto.
00:15:56I've been making bobbin lace all morning.
00:16:00You haven't looked at my bobbin lace.
00:16:02Yeah, I am looking, my Angela.
00:16:05You're not looking at my bobbin work.
00:16:06Try to understand, my Angela.
00:16:09There is time for bobbin work, and there is time for love.
00:16:12But they never mix, my Angela.
00:16:15Look at me.
00:16:17Look at me.
00:16:19But I am looking.
00:16:24Are you stone, marble, alabaster?
00:16:27What is alabaster?
00:16:28Do you know that I'm mad about your hair, your eyes?
00:16:31Do you know that I'm jealous that nature and that I created you?
00:16:34Oh, Angela, why did you have to come into my life at its very end?
00:16:39Yes.
00:16:40Is your life going to end?
00:16:41Yes.
00:16:42Tomorrow I shall be wearing a hempen necklace.
00:16:44Tomorrow Cellini the artist will be kicking at the gates of Hades.
00:16:48Today Cellini the man would have a glimpse of heaven.
00:16:53You mustn't come near me.
00:16:54Oh, awaken, my Angela.
00:16:55You go through life as if you were a dream in a dream.
00:16:58You are like flowing gold ready to be shaped into a woman.
00:17:03You frighten me.
00:17:04I love you like an angel.
00:17:06I love you like a man.
00:17:07My mother has forbidden me.
00:17:08Oh, drat your mother.
00:17:09You must think as I think and do as I do.
00:17:11Aha.
00:17:12Aha.
00:17:13Aha.
00:17:14Aha.
00:17:15So.
00:17:16She must think as you think and do as you do, huh?
00:17:22Yes, and you're not going to stop it.
00:17:24It's a thing.
00:17:25We're going home.
00:17:26She's not leaving.
00:17:27She is.
00:17:28She's not.
00:17:29She is.
00:17:30You're not leaving, my Angela.
00:17:31The old hag agreed that you were to stay until my work was finished.
00:17:34Hag?
00:17:35Hag?
00:17:36You dare call me that to my face?
00:17:38Your face?
00:17:39That thing you wear can't possibly be your face.
00:17:42Oh, may you be blasted inch by inch.
00:17:45I've noticed of late that you've been growing a beard.
00:17:47You really shouldn't do it.
00:17:48It doesn't become you.
00:17:49May you be strung by your thumb.
00:17:51Well, let's cease these compliments and talk business.
00:17:53You dare ask that my daughter...
00:17:55You have no daughter.
00:17:57You have a property that I'm willing to buy for my mother.
00:17:59Didst thou make this man, who has so little respect for the feelings of a mother,
00:18:04than to put things so plainly, fifty ducats.
00:18:07Fifty ducats?
00:18:08Too much.
00:18:09Fifty ducats.
00:18:10Too much.
00:18:11Forty-five.
00:18:12No.
00:18:13Forty or nothing.
00:18:14Forty ducats.
00:18:15Make it thirty-five.
00:18:16Done.
00:18:26Get in there.
00:18:27I'll be rid of him in no time.
00:18:28I want more ducats.
00:18:29You get your ducats.
00:18:31Don't worry, my little crawfish.
00:18:33I'll see that you get them.
00:18:35Open in the name of his excellency, the Pupal Florence.
00:18:41Open in the name of his excellency!
00:19:14Your Excellency, my poor house is more than honoured by your presence.
00:19:24Your poor house would be more than honoured by the presence of any peaceful man.
00:19:28Splendid, Your Excellency.
00:19:30The Lord mustn't forget the purpose of his visit.
00:19:32Oh, yes.
00:19:34Time after time, we have pardoned your grave crimes on condition that you keep the peace.
00:19:38With all gratitude, I remember.
00:19:40You remember nothing.
00:19:41You're a, uh, uh, this morning in broad daylight, you dared attack and humiliated de' Medici, the nephew of your ruler.
00:19:50Not Mafio?
00:19:51What's happened to Count Mafio?
00:19:53There you are, you see.
00:19:54He's not only a lot of other things, he also tells lies as well.
00:19:57Oh, yes, I remember now.
00:19:59Yes, you remember, do you?
00:20:01Mafio gave me the insult.
00:20:02My fault is that I, I try to pattern myself too much after Your Excellency, just to be peaceful when I am insulted.
00:20:11Insolence.
00:20:12Oh, no, come now, Taviani.
00:20:14You must admit that is rather neatly said.
00:20:16The Lord forgets his oath to hang Gellini.
00:20:18Eh?
00:20:18Oh, eh, yes.
00:20:21Eh, we are going to hang you.
00:20:23Eh, take him away.
00:20:25Put him in a dungeon.
00:20:26Put him in chains.
00:20:27Wait a minute.
00:20:28Wait a minute.
00:20:29Where are my golden service plates?
00:20:31I shall never be able to finish them now.
00:20:33What, you haven't finished them?
00:20:34How are we going to bank with the Duchess of Milan without plates?
00:20:37Why don't you tend to business instead of running around killing people?
00:20:41Jumping over walls and frightening young girls.
00:20:43Where's my chalice?
00:20:45Haven't you finished that either?
00:20:46It's, eh, not yet worthy of Your Excellency.
00:20:51Well, why haven't you finished it?
00:20:53Where do you suppose I'm going to keep my dear cousin's ashes?
00:20:57I mean, I can't, there's no, where, where, we've got, where,
00:20:59Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:21:02Eh, who are you, my chalice?
00:21:04I'm Angela.
00:21:06Angela.
00:21:07Eh, oh, yes, of course.
00:21:09If you're going to hang him now, Mother and I would like to leave.
00:21:11Uh, who is she?
00:21:17It's, uh, a Lily, my lord, who has admired You from afar for many a day.
00:21:23In fact, uh, she was the cause of my quarrel with Matthew.
00:21:27Knowing You to be a connoisseur of beauty and art, I was, uh,
00:21:30in the very act of taking her to the palace.
00:21:32And I was set upon by Matthew.
00:21:35In fact, he would have robbed You of her.
00:21:37Oh.
00:21:38Eh, does she, uh, know who I am?
00:21:40No, no, I told her that you were but one of the court.
00:21:44Yeah, then, uh, then it's not because I'm the duke.
00:21:48Your excellency underestimates his own charms.
00:21:52Yeah.
00:21:54Eh, you, uh, you remain.
00:21:56The rest of you may retire.
00:21:57I'll settle this in my own.
00:21:59Isn't the lord going to allow this Chilini to pull the wool over his eyes?
00:22:02Who pulled what wool over whose eyes?
00:22:04I'm handing this myself.
00:22:05Now, run along.
00:22:06Get out.
00:22:10Ah, you like me, Angela.
00:22:14I don't know.
00:22:15You don't know?
00:22:16She's timid.
00:22:17Oh, of course.
00:22:19You don't know who I am, do you?
00:22:21Yes, your excellency.
00:22:23There you are.
00:22:24You see, she knew all the time.
00:22:25If she did, it was only because she knew that the most royal,
00:22:27the most handsome, the most charming man in all Florence
00:22:30must be the duke.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:32You, uh, you've never been to the palace, have you, Angela?
00:22:35No, my lord.
00:22:36Would you like to come sometime?
00:22:38No, sir.
00:22:39I mean, I don't think so, your excellency.
00:22:41Of course she would.
00:22:42Of course she would.
00:22:43She doesn't know what she's saying, your excellency.
00:22:47What's that?
00:22:48I am her mother, her excellency.
00:22:51There must be some mistake.
00:22:53She looks like a goat.
00:22:55There's a marked resemblance.
00:22:58Come here.
00:22:59Me?
00:23:00No, no, no.
00:23:01The other one.
00:23:04That's far enough.
00:23:05Well, you know.
00:23:11She, uh, she's rather pretty, isn't she?
00:23:14Yes, my lord.
00:23:15She'd make a rather excellent addition to the court, don't you think?
00:23:18Yes, my lord.
00:23:20The other ladies of the court are so very ugly.
00:23:22Yes, my lord.
00:23:23Do you, uh, the Duchess, uh, won't be at the Summer Palace tonight, eh?
00:23:27The whole court has moved officially to the Winter Palace, my lord.
00:23:30Oh, yes, yes, of course.
00:23:31You're sure?
00:23:32Yes, my lord.
00:23:33Oh, well, that's fine.
00:23:35Yes, yes, well.
00:23:36You arrange everything.
00:23:38Yes, my lord.
00:23:40Yes.
00:23:40Oh, one moment.
00:23:41Uh, we needn't mention this little matter to the Duchess.
00:23:45No, my lord.
00:23:49Come with me.
00:23:49You're not going, my Angela.
00:23:54Who says she's not going?
00:23:55I don't want to go.
00:23:56Yes, you do, my little form.
00:23:58Yes, of course you do.
00:24:00Come along.
00:24:00But she's my model, Your Excellency.
00:24:02Well, go get another model.
00:24:03Come along, come along.
00:24:04Heh, heh.
00:24:05Here.
00:24:05There you are.
00:24:07Heh.
00:24:08Besides, I'm going to hang you.
00:24:10At least I haven't changed my mind.
00:24:12And you've got work to do.
00:24:13You've got to finish those plates.
00:24:14We've got people coming to dinner.
00:24:16I hope the food is worthy of the plates.
00:24:19What's that?
00:24:20I hope the plates are worthy of the food, Your Excellency.
00:24:25Yes, I don't believe that's what you said at all.
00:24:27You...
00:24:27Oh, well, however.
00:24:35Angela.
00:24:36My Angela.
00:24:38Tell me all the Dukes in Christendom rat in Hades.
00:24:42Be careful, Master.
00:24:43He might come back.
00:24:44I hope he does come back.
00:24:45You'd better lock that door.
00:25:03Welcome again, Atalviano.
00:25:05Have you forgotten something?
00:25:06I'm not as careless in such matters as you are.
00:25:10Do you recognize this kerchief?
00:25:12Oh, very pretty, isn't it?
00:25:14It's your best kerchief, Master.
00:25:15Where'd he find it?
00:25:17Ask your master where he left it.
00:25:19And very pretty she is, too, Atalviano.
00:25:21Though a bit on the plumpish side.
00:25:23You think yourself safe because the Duke has pardoned you.
00:25:26Well, I haven't...
00:25:27I wouldn't be too careless with that blade, my friend.
00:25:30Whoever destroys Cellini before the plates are finished in turn destroys himself.
00:25:34He wouldn't look too handsome swinging at the end of a rope.
00:25:37Well, I've provided against that emergency also.
00:25:42Gentlemen, it would grieve me very deeply if anything were to happen to my friend Cellini.
00:26:00It would further grieve me if any of these beautiful works of art were to be destroyed.
00:26:05Especially the model for a chalice, of which my friend is very fond.
00:26:10Gentlemen, I leave him to your tender mercies.
00:26:17Good day.
00:26:17Come on, you, my friends.
00:26:34The arm is strong and the steel is sharp.

00:32:25Will I always hear music when I'm a court lady?
00:32:32Yes, indeed.
00:32:33What do court ladies have to do?
00:32:36Oh, they just stand around and bow.
00:32:40But we'll talk about that later.
00:32:44What are you doing that for?
00:32:47Doesn't that make you burn and tingle?
00:32:50No, it gives me goosebumps.
00:32:53I don't understand. Are you always like this?
00:32:57Like what, my lord?
00:32:59Well, never mind.
00:33:01You'll change later.
00:33:03Would you like some more peacock tongues?
00:33:05Yes, my lord.
00:33:07Oh, and that reminds me, Angela,
00:33:09when we're alone, don't call me my lord.
00:33:11I prefer that you call me Bumpy.
00:33:13That's my nickname.
00:33:15Oh, and that reminds me, Angela,
00:33:17when we're alone, don't call me my lord.
00:33:19I prefer that you call me Bumpy.
00:33:21But only in private, mind you.
00:33:24Never in public.
00:33:25It would dethrone me.
00:33:26Now, let me hear you say it.
00:33:28Bumpy, like that.
00:33:30In front of them.
00:33:32Oh, that's all right.
00:33:34I had them deafened some time ago.
00:33:37Now, say it.
00:33:38Bumpy.
00:33:39Bumpy.
00:33:40Splendid.
00:33:41You got it the first time, didn't you?
00:33:44You got it the first time, didn't you?
00:33:45saw it the first time waiting here.
00:33:46Harvino!
00:33:47With the duke, my lord!
00:33:48The duke?
00:33:49Oh yes, you see ...
00:33:50The duke essayed...
00:33:52Enough!
00:33:54O, Taviano, perhaps you can speak intelligently!
00:33:56Did you not know that we had moved to the Winter Palace today?
00:33:58The duke decided against leaving at the last minute, my lord!
00:34:00Why?
00:34:01Oh, yes. You see, the Duke...
00:34:03Enough.
00:34:04Octaviano, perhaps you can speak intelligently.
00:34:06Did you not know that we had moved to the Winter Palace today?
00:34:08The Duke decided against leaving at the last minute, milady.
00:34:11Why?
00:34:12An attack of gout, milady.
00:34:14There is no other reason?
00:34:16Well, he only confided the gout to me, milady.
00:34:23You mustn't be afraid of me, Angela.
00:34:25I'm not afraid of you.
00:34:27Well, I want you to be a little afraid of me.
00:34:30Why?
00:34:31Well, I don't know. It makes me feel more...
00:34:34I mean, I feel more savage.
00:34:38I mean...
00:34:42She has arrived, Your Excellency.
00:34:43She has arrived? Who has arrived where?
00:34:45The Duchess.
00:34:46The Duchess?
00:34:47Oh, no. Here at the palace?
00:34:51Polverino, that woman has a sixth sense.
00:34:53Why can't I deceive my wife like other men do?
00:34:56Do you suppose she would mind my being here?
00:34:58Oh, yes, I'm afraid she would.
00:35:01Come, Polverino, get her out.
00:35:03Quickly.
00:35:04I mean, out on the balcony.
00:35:06Go.
00:35:07Go.
00:35:21Did I surprise you, Alessandro?
00:35:23Surprised?
00:35:24Oh, no.
00:35:25I was afraid every moment that...
00:35:27I was afraid that you wouldn't get here.
00:35:30I knew you were coming.
00:35:32I can't keep any secrets from you, can I?
00:35:35Oh, I know, I know.
00:35:37Oh, and look, supper for me.
00:35:40Why didn't you let me know?
00:35:42Oh, yes.
00:35:43Well, I was expecting you sooner.
00:35:46And listen, music also.
00:35:48Thoughtful, Alessandro.
00:35:51I thought music would be nice.
00:35:53You were so hungry that you ate both our suppers, didn't you?
00:35:58Yes.
00:35:59I mean, no.
00:36:00Polverino joined me at supper.
00:36:02Hmm, strange.
00:36:03As I entered the palace, I saw Ottaviano on his way to the dining hall to dine with the others.
00:36:08Oh, you did?
00:36:09Oh, that fellow must have a tapeworm.
00:36:12Alessandro, if I saw...
00:36:14Oh, you mustn't think such things.
00:36:15They're very embarrassing.
00:36:16I do trust you, Alessandro.
00:36:17But isn't it time you were in bed?
00:36:18Oh, well, it's not yet nine.
00:36:19Yes, but I won't have a moment's rest until I know you're safely asleep.
00:36:21Oh, but I would like to stay up a little longer.
00:36:22No, no, no.
00:36:23Now, remember how you suffer with your gout.
00:36:24Well, not just a little bit.
00:36:25I'm sorry.
00:36:26I'm sorry.
00:36:27I'm sorry.
00:36:28I'm sorry.
00:36:29I'm sorry.
00:36:30I'm sorry.
00:36:31I'm sorry.
00:36:32I'm sorry.
00:36:33I'm sorry.
00:36:34I'm sorry.
00:36:35I'm sorry.
00:36:36I'm sorry.
00:36:37I'm sorry.
00:36:38I'm sorry.
00:36:39I'm sorry.
00:36:40I'm sorry.
00:36:41How do you suffer with your gout?
00:36:42Well, not just a little longer.
00:36:43No.
00:36:44Now, go straight to bed.
00:36:45All right.
00:36:46I will.
00:36:53Good night, my dear.
00:36:54Sleep tight.
00:37:10You may go.
00:37:28You may go.
00:37:29No.
00:37:40Here we go.
00:37:44Bye.
00:37:46Bye.
00:37:49Bye.
00:37:53Don't you?
00:37:54Just a little bit.
00:37:56Okay?
00:37:56Oh, sorry.
00:37:57So, you have come, Joleney.
00:38:159 o'clock, all dwell.
00:38:17In the very second, my lady.
00:38:19I feared you might find obstacles in your path too great to overcome.
00:38:22Obstacles are nothing, my lady.
00:38:24True, I swam through rivers of blood to reach you.
00:38:27Five of Your Excellency's guards have paid with their lives,
00:38:30and five more of my wounded.
00:38:32But I would have reached my goal, my lady.
00:38:34Even though I crawled to your feet, but to die.
00:38:39I like that speech, Joleney.
00:38:42I have a surprise for you.
00:38:54The Duke is here.
00:38:56Here?
00:38:58At the palace?
00:39:00Is Joleney afraid?
00:39:03No, no, no.
00:39:04Not for myself.
00:39:05I would not compromise my Duchess.
00:39:09So.
00:39:12Your courage is composed, then, only of words.
00:39:16What you call fear, my lady, is that little part of my soul which I call honor.
00:39:20Bah, that word.
00:39:21It is enough to turn an honest woman's stomach.
00:39:27Honor.
00:39:28It is merely a term used by men to cover their cowardice.
00:39:32Well, it is just as well I found you out.
00:39:36The tragedy of all great ladies is to discover that the men with the most exaggerated reputations make the poorest lovers.
00:39:43That is the reason we probably marry half-wits.
00:39:47Well, you've delivered the key.
00:40:01So now you may swim back through your rivers of blood to your workshop.
00:40:05You're only a goldsmith after all.
00:40:08You may give me the key and go.
00:40:11Give me the key.
00:40:23Perhaps I should tell that you'll kill here.
00:40:31Perhaps you think I won't tell him.
00:40:41What was that?
00:41:05He's probably fallen downstairs again.
00:41:10Did you break something?
00:41:12Shh.
00:41:13Wait.
00:41:14If I'm going out there again, I've got to have something to do.
00:41:19Alessandro, open the door.
00:41:21Is that your wife?
00:41:23You wait out on the balcony until I find out what this old Dido is doing.
00:41:40Alessandro.
00:41:43Alessandro, open the door, I say.
00:41:53What are you doing over there?
00:42:15What are you doing over there?
00:42:23What on earth is the matter with you?
00:42:28Oh, where am I?
00:42:31You know where you are.
00:42:34I must have been walking in my sleep.
00:42:37Well, you should be more careful.
00:42:38Some night you'll fall off that balcony and hurt yourself.
00:42:41Didn't I tell you to go to bed?
00:42:42I'm going to fix you a sleeping post.
00:42:44Oh, no.
00:42:45I'm all right.
00:42:46What are you doing here?
00:42:47What am I doing here?
00:42:48I thought the Duke was mad at you.
00:42:50I have come to your rescue through rivers of blood.
00:42:52Ten of the Duke's guards have paid with their lives.
00:42:55And I would have reached my goal, even though I crawled to your feet, but to die.
00:42:59Really?
00:43:00Of course, my Angela.
00:43:03Come, we must hurry.
00:43:04Where are we going?
00:43:05Tonight we enter paradise.
00:43:11You must sleep tonight, Alessandro.
00:43:13For my sake.
00:43:15All right.
00:43:22I'm frightened.
00:43:29I'm frightened.
00:43:42Welcome home.
00:43:52I'm afraid the night airs too much for me, m'lady.
00:44:10I'm afraid it is.
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:13You'd better take care of yourself, too, m'lady.
00:44:21I will.
00:44:23Good night, m'lady.
00:44:26Good night, m'lady.
00:44:28Good night, m'lady.
00:44:40Bienvenuto.
00:44:51Good night, m'lady.
00:44:56Good night, m'lady.
00:45:01Let's go.
00:45:31Here we are, my Angela, at the threshold of paradise.
00:45:41Go, Antonio, pipe the dawn.
00:45:44Tell the world that love has come to the mountaintop.
00:46:01And this is paradise itself.
00:46:05I didn't know I was coming to a dirty old place like this.
00:46:08But your presence makes of it a palace.
00:46:10It's got holes in the roof.
00:46:11Well, what better ceiling than the blue canopy of heaven?
00:46:15Those sheep smell terrible.
00:46:17But those are not sheep.
00:46:18They are princes changed in form by witchcraft.
00:46:21But you, my fairy queen, will wave your magic wand and restore them to their kingdom.
00:46:26They're sheep and they smell terrible.
00:46:28Get them out of here.
00:46:32Oh, my feet hurt.
00:46:36I wish I'd never left the Duke's palace.
00:46:40But what is a fat old Duke to me?
00:46:42He's not fat.
00:46:43You've traded a dukedom for a kingdom.
00:46:45And I shall teach you the language of the gods.
00:46:47Here we shall reign.
00:46:49And here we shall love.
00:46:52Here we shall reign.
00:46:54And here we shall love.
00:46:56I shall create as I have never created before.
00:46:58Ah, the pipes of pan.
00:47:01It is almost dawn, my Angela.
00:47:03Aurora in all her splendor beckons to us.
00:47:05But we cannot escape even if we would.
00:47:08My beautiful queen.
00:47:10Benvenuto.
00:47:11Yes, my love.
00:47:13I'm hungry.
00:47:18How can you think of food at a time like this?
00:47:21Don't yell at me.
00:47:22I'm not yelling at you.
00:47:23But I've risked my life to bring you here and you speak of food.
00:47:27Well, haven't you some little cakes or something?
00:47:31I offer you love when you ask for cakes.
00:47:33I don't know why I came here with you anyway.
00:47:37What did I ever do to you?
00:47:39You take me away from a nice palace with soft cushions and everything.
00:47:45And you bring me to a place like this with no cushions at all.
00:47:51Oh, I thought I was coming to a nice place.
00:47:54It was nice until I brought you here.
00:47:56That you probably will never want to see me again.
00:47:59And it's all your fault.
00:48:01Oh, I hate that you do.
00:48:02You hang, you.
00:48:04You just wait till you get back to Florence.
00:48:06I'm going back to Florence.
00:48:08I prefer death to a cold woman.
00:48:11The place is yours.
00:48:12Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, a proclamation by His Excellency Alessandro, Lord Duke of Florence.
00:48:31This means the end of that scoundrel.
00:48:45I warned him, but he wouldn't pay any attention to me.
00:48:48Where will you go?
00:48:49Where will you go?
00:48:50Where will you go?
00:48:51Where will you hide?
00:48:52There isn't a place in all Florence you'll be safe.
00:48:53There is one place where Cellini will always be safe.
00:48:54And Cellini has the key.
00:48:55Hi.
00:48:56Where did this come from?
00:48:57I don't know.
00:48:58Where did this come from?
00:48:59I don't know.
00:49:00Send for the captain.
00:49:01My lady never looked so fresh and lovely.
00:49:02My lady never looked so fresh and lovely.
00:49:03I don't know.
00:49:04I don't know.
00:49:05It is not necessary to lie to me.
00:49:33It is not necessary to lie to me.
00:49:44Tell me, does this view Captain of the Guards as charming and as gallant as you claim him to be?
00:49:49Yesterday he won all honors at the jousting mansion.
00:49:53You may withdraw. I wish to be alone.
00:49:55And you might send me this Captain of the Guards. I have a commission for him.
00:50:02Who are you? What are you doing here?
00:50:08My lady.
00:50:09Are you in the habit of entering ladies' boudoirs unannounced?
00:50:12Surely my lady jests.
00:50:13The de Medicis are not given to jesting.
00:50:15My lady.
00:50:16My lady.
00:50:17My lady.
00:50:18My lady.
00:50:19My lady.
00:50:20My lady.
00:50:21My lady.
00:50:22My lady.
00:50:23My lady.
00:50:24My lady.
00:50:25My lady.
00:50:26My lady.
00:50:27My lady.
00:50:28My lady.
00:50:29My lady.
00:50:30My lady.
00:50:31My lady.
00:50:32My lady.
00:50:33My lady.
00:50:34My lady.
00:50:35My lady.
00:50:36My lady.
00:50:37My lady.
00:50:38My lady.
00:50:39My lady.
00:50:40My lady.
00:50:41My lady.
00:50:42My lady.
00:50:43My lady.
00:50:44My lady.
00:50:45My lady.
00:50:46My lady.
00:50:47My lady.
00:50:48My lady.
00:50:49My lady.
00:50:50My lady.
00:50:51My lady.
00:50:52My lady.
00:50:53My lady.
00:50:54My lady.
00:50:55My lady.
00:50:56No loss. Give me the key.
00:50:59Cellini prefers a thousand deaths to the displeasure of his Duchess.
00:51:04Your words weary me.
00:51:26My lady, I cannot leave until you hear the truth.
00:51:30I have no interest.
00:51:32When you summoned me, my lady, I sped to you on wings of love.
00:51:35And on wings of love, you as quickly sped away.
00:51:38My lady, I was forced to go.
00:51:40A likely story.
00:51:41Last night, as I waited on your balcony, soldiers appeared.
00:51:44They saw me to return to your room and compromise in you.
00:51:47There was no way to go.
00:51:49My lady, I was forced to go.
00:51:51A likely story.
00:51:52Last night, as I waited on your balcony, soldiers appeared.
00:51:54Two I wounded.
00:51:56The rest pursued me.
00:51:57I ran as a hunted beast.
00:51:58Dodging, doubling back on my tracks.
00:52:00Until you found refuge in some fair lady's boudoir.
00:52:02I have no doubt.
00:52:03Can my lady believe that having held you in my arms,
00:52:05I could even glance at another woman?
00:52:07If my desperate efforts to save my lady's name
00:52:10bring me to this sorry end,
00:52:12it is best I go.
00:52:14If my desperate efforts to save my lady's name
00:52:17bring me to this sorry end,
00:52:19it is best I go.
00:52:21I have no doubt.
00:52:23It is best I go.
00:52:25The guards are waiting.
00:52:26As you probably know, there's a price on your head.
00:52:29It would be selfish to deprive an honest guardsman
00:52:31of a just reward.
00:52:33May I make one last request?
00:52:35Make it and go.
00:52:37If my lady thirsts for Cellini's blood,
00:52:40let yours be the hand that severs my head from my body.
00:52:53I believe my lady requested Cellini's head on a platter.
00:53:03Your belief is well founded, Cellini.
00:53:05This is not a platter, but it will suffice.
00:53:07Yes.
00:53:08That should do very nicely.
00:53:10It is fitting that my head rest in a receptacle of my own creation.
00:53:23Oh death, thy presence is divine.
00:53:33Drop those luscious lips to mine.
00:53:37Those ripe, those coral lips of thine.
00:53:42Give me a soft velvet kiss.
00:53:45Dove-like.
00:53:46Glued in searching bliss.
00:53:51Glued in searching bliss.
00:53:59The captain of the guards, my lady.
00:54:07The captain of the guards, my lady.
00:54:11Benvenuto, my love.
00:54:13Yes, my lady.
00:54:14Give me the book.
00:54:16You will have no further need of it.
00:54:18Henceforth, your reading shall be confined to me.
00:54:22Yes, my lady.
00:54:24It is just as well you know, my Benvenuto,
00:54:27that it is the Duchess of Florence who dismisses her loves.
00:54:31Her loves never dismiss the Duchess of Florence.
00:54:39Bring me that urn, the silver one.
00:54:48The Duchess of Florence.
00:54:49The Duchess of Florence.
00:54:50The Duchess of Florence.
00:54:52The Duchess of Florence.
00:54:56The Duchess of Florence.
00:54:58The Duchess of Florence.
00:55:00That you know what is contained therein?
00:55:04It was designed for rose leaves, my lady.
00:55:05A long time ago, there was a young and handsome soldier.
00:55:11He was as naughty as he was handsome.
00:55:14I have preserved his heart in there.
00:55:21You would never deceive me, would you, my Benvenuto?
00:55:25Would a man be fool enough to throw away a priceless jewel?
00:55:30Captain! Captain of the guards!
00:55:32We found him at the north gate. He's been stabbed, sir.
00:55:35Who did it?
00:55:36Cellini did it.
00:55:37Set her on the palace!
00:55:38Sell me along!
00:55:39Cellini's on the palace throne!
00:55:43I believe they are looking for me, my lady.
00:55:50What are we to do?
00:55:51We must hide.
00:55:52They'll never look for you in the Duke's quarters.
00:56:02You wait here, my beloved.
00:56:03I'll arrange things with Alessandro.
00:56:22Come on.
00:56:34Come on.
00:56:35While we're awaiting the Duke's pleasure, I should like to show you our gallery of art.
00:56:51Now here is a fragment of sculpture by the master.
00:56:55The subject is a young nobleman of Florence.
00:56:58Loud-mouthed young fellow, very disrespectful to authority.
00:57:02It's rather a well-preserved piece, don't you think?
00:57:04Except, of course, that the tongue is missing.
00:57:07Now here.
00:57:08Here is a real work of art.
00:57:10This, I think, is the master at his best.
00:57:16Ah, I see you're impressed by the master's work.
00:57:19Sir.
00:57:20Here's raw material for you.
00:57:40Here, open the door. Hurry up.
00:57:41His Excellency, the Duke of Florence.
00:57:43The Duke of Florence.
00:57:44Ah-ha!
00:57:46So, they caught you, didn't they?
00:57:48You blaggard, you.
00:57:50Good work, Ottaviano.
00:57:51This will teach you a lesson you won't forget.
00:57:53Well, hurry up.
00:57:54Go on.
00:57:55Put the news around his name.
00:57:56But I can explain everything, Your Excellency.
00:57:57You can explain nothing.
00:57:58You sheep and wolf.
00:57:59You've jumped over your last wall.
00:58:02You know what you did.
00:58:03And you did it right under my very nose, too.
00:58:05What's your Excellency?
00:58:06Go on.
00:58:07String him up.
00:58:08You'll only listen, Your Excellency.
00:58:09I'll listen to nothing.
00:58:10Well, go on.
00:58:11String him up.
00:58:12There you go again.
00:58:13You're always bungling.
00:58:15Alessandro!
00:58:16Alessandro, wait!
00:58:17Pull him up.
00:58:18Pull it up.
00:58:19Wait!
00:58:20Wait!
00:58:21Wait!
00:58:22Well, just a minute, milady.
00:58:23I'm busy.
00:58:24Alessandro, I command you.
00:58:25Wait!
00:58:26Open this door.
00:58:27Open this door.
00:58:28I shall have you put on the rack.
00:58:29Her Excellency, the Duchess of Florence!
00:58:30Her Excellency, the Duchess of Florence!
00:58:33You shouldn't have come down here!
00:58:34It's too damp.
00:58:35You'll catch cold.
00:58:36And what are you doing here?
00:58:37Well, I'm just hanging this fellow.
00:58:38Fools!
00:58:39If he hangs, we all shall hang.
00:58:40The guards are dismissed.
00:58:41Oh, no!
00:58:42I want the guards to remain.
00:58:43I'm not!
00:58:44It's not!
00:58:45I'm not!
00:58:46I'm not!
00:58:47I'm not!
00:58:48No, no, no!
00:58:49I'm not!
00:58:50No, no, no, no!
00:58:53No, no!
00:58:54No, no!
00:58:55No, no, no!
00:58:56I want the guards to remain. The guards are not to withdraw.
00:59:00This is a very secret matter.
00:59:03Oh, well, all right. The guards are dismissed.
00:59:08Why are you always interfering?
00:59:10You pardoned this man once. Why are you hanging him now?
00:59:13I can explain, my lady. Be quiet.
00:59:16Who? No one asks you for any explanation.
00:59:19Yes, silence until you're spoken to.
00:59:21Doesn't my lady know that Cellini stole into the palace gardens one night fast?
00:59:25What do you mean by that?
00:59:27He came intent on stealing, my lady.
00:59:29Something the duke holds most precious.
00:59:31And what does the duke hold most precious?
00:59:33Oh, well, nothing. I mean, it's just a little trinket.
00:59:38You talk too much, Ottaviano. You've got the Duchess all upset.
00:59:42Strange that only this morning, my lady wanted Cellini's life.
00:59:45Yes, that's right, you did.
00:59:47You offered 2,000 ducats for Cellini's head.
00:59:50Why do you object to a little hanging?
00:59:52I have not changed my mind, my lord.
00:59:54I should like nothing better than to see the scoundrel hang from the highest beam.
00:59:58But it is not his neck I'm thinking of, but ours.
01:00:01What have our necks got to do with it?
01:00:02You don't know what I know.
01:00:04I have just learned from my secret agents that the people of Florence are about to revolt.
01:00:07They're incensed over the last wholesale hanging in the piazza.
01:00:10They think you're a butcher, a madman.
01:00:12A madman? What they do? But I'm nothing of the kind.
01:00:16Of course you're not. I know you was a good, kind husband.
01:00:20But we're on the verge of a revolution.
01:00:22And one more hanging might light the torch.
01:00:24Light the torch? Well, this is terrible.
01:00:26Ottaviano, why didn't you tell me?
01:00:28The lady seems to have information that no one else possesses.
01:00:32You mustn't listen to Ottaviano. You must listen to me.
01:00:36One never knows one's friends. Why, right in this very room, there might be spies.
01:00:40Now, with a peasant or an unknown, it might be worth the risk.
01:00:46But with Cellini, an artist, the goldsmith...
01:00:51Where are you going to find another Cellini? Another master?
01:00:55Silence, knave.
01:00:57Alessandro, you may use your own discretion.
01:00:59Of course, if you don't mind being hanged, I don't either.
01:01:03The decision rests with you.
01:01:10But surely my lord isn't afraid.
01:01:15That's all very well for you to say, Ottaviano. It's not your neck they want, it's mine.
01:01:20I'd be brave too if it was your neck they wanted.
01:01:23Here, unloose him. Take the noose off.
01:01:26I don't know why it is. Every time I want to hang you, something always happens.
01:01:29Why not let me take the responsibility for his hanging, Your Excellency?
01:01:32Yes, that might not be a... No.
01:01:35Oh, you shouldn't have said that.
01:01:39I mean, run along now, go on. Get up. And you too, run along. Hurry up.
01:01:43I'm sorry I can't have to disappoint you, but I'll have someone for you next week if I...
01:01:49And you too, goodbye.
01:01:57Hurry up, hurry up.
01:02:02There, that's over. But it's not over yet. I'll hang you before I'm finished.
01:02:05Now, go on. Get out of here. Get out of the palace. Go on back to your Angela.
01:02:08My Angela?
01:02:09That's what I said. Your Angela.
01:02:11What have you done with her?
01:02:12Well, my lord...
01:02:13Now, don't try to deny anything. That's why I was hanging you.
01:02:16Where is she?
01:02:17Angela?
01:02:18Yes, Angela.
01:02:19She's pining for you, my lord, in a mounting cabin.
01:02:21For me?
01:02:22For you.
01:02:23Well, why didn't you tell me that before?
01:02:24Well, my lord, it's rather difficult to speak with a rope around one's neck.
01:02:27Yes. Well, why did you take her away from me? Why did you...
01:02:29My lord, if you...
01:02:30Now, I'm not going to believe one word you say.
01:02:33I was only acting in your interest.
01:02:35My interest?
01:02:36Yes.
01:02:37I heard that the Duchess was coming to the Summer Palace.
01:02:39At the risk of my life, I entered the palace grounds and snatched Angela from under the very eyes of your Duchess.
01:02:44And again, at the risk of my life, I took her from the palace grounds to a haven of safety.
01:02:48Oh, well, that's very different.
01:02:50That isn't what you told me, Ottaviano.
01:02:53Now, go on, run along and get out of here.
01:02:56You...
01:02:57You...
01:02:58There's no...
01:02:59Whatever you...
01:03:00Yes, why not bring Angela here tonight?
01:03:02Oh, my lord, that's impossible.
01:03:03Impossible?
01:03:04Why?
01:03:05But the Duchess, my lord...
01:03:06What's the Duchess got to do with it?
01:03:07Well, she has nothing to do with it.
01:03:09Well, there you are.
01:03:10We're giving a banquet tonight for somebody or other, whoever...
01:03:13And you can bring Angela here to me.
01:03:15I mean, say that she is your model.
01:03:17Say anything.
01:03:18My lord, you don't know what you're doing to me.
01:03:20I...
01:03:21I know what I will do to you.
01:03:22Shall I take you back and hang you?
01:03:23No, my lord.
01:03:24I prefer not.
01:03:25You...
01:03:26Well, will you do as I say?
01:03:30Yes, Your Excellency.
01:03:33Yes, well, that's more like it.
01:03:47Your Excellency, the Duke and Duchess of Florence.
01:03:54We bring you greetings from the Duke and Duchess of Milan.
01:03:59We return your greetings and welcome.
01:04:00Oh, yes.
01:04:01Welcome, Mr. Cavalier Tavidic.
01:04:03Ottaviano tells me the great artist Cellini will be present this evening.
01:04:06Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:04:07Oh, no, no, no.
01:04:08No, no, no, no, no.
01:04:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:04:10We bring you greetings from the Duke and Duchess of Milan.
01:04:24We return your greetings and welcome.
01:04:26Oh, yes.
01:04:27Welcome, Mr. Cavalier Tavidic.
01:04:29Ottaviano tells me the great artist Cellini will be present this evening.
01:04:33Ottaviano is well informed.
01:04:35We are rather jealous of you.
01:04:37Cellini's fame is rapidly spreading
01:04:39throughout all of italy part of his fame is due to his versatility yes we're very proud of him
01:04:47perhaps the cavalier travigi is unacquainted with the fact that milady is a patroness of all
01:04:51the odds a great deal of cellini's work in the future is to be accomplished right here in the
01:04:55palace under milady's supervision splendid idea for your own sake don't be any dumber than is
01:05:04absolutely necessary you just wait till i see the duke when we get in here you keep as far away from
01:05:10me as possible further away you keep from me the better i like ah here comes our genius now
01:05:19and who is that with him oh i don't know oh there he is
01:05:27don't do that is she waving at someone yes it looks like it doesn't it i guess it must be
01:05:33pulverino yes yes she's waving to me
01:05:40and who is she oh she's a model isn't she yes that's it she's a model
01:05:46i met her at cellini's workshop they they both look a little uncomfortable perhaps i
01:05:50better put them at their ease perhaps you should
01:05:57hello bumpy not here not in public i think you'd better introduce us
01:06:03uh uh your excellency my model angela how do you do welcome to the palace
01:06:09oh this is so silly be quiet pulverino will instruct you in the etiquette of the court
01:06:15well what are you standing there for you've got to pay your respects to the duchess
01:06:19i think she's a little suspicious of whom well how do you do of everything hurry up yes my lord
01:06:26who is she surely your secret agents who know all must have acquainted you with the lady's identity
01:06:33be careful that one day my secret agents don't acquaint you with the executioner
01:06:44i've been mad with impatience waiting to fly to you to touch your hand
01:06:47might i ask how you dared bring a common little model to this bank i was forced to
01:06:55forced to by whom by circumstances as to uh as a shield to avert suspicion
01:07:02in the future my benvenuto i will choose your models now go get rid of her
01:07:08my lady it's impossible she has served her purpose there is no longer any excuse to keep her here
01:07:16be rid of her at once but my lady at once yes

01:07:31well yes it is quite a gathering suspicious of me she insists that angela leave at once well why
01:07:39should she want angela to leave yes indeed i can't imagine well she's not going to leave didn't you
01:07:47tell the duchess that she was your model good evening chancellor it might be better if you explain
01:07:53my lord yes you've had more experience in such matters yes of course i'll i'll explain i'll tell her
01:07:59something my lady there seems to be some confusion what confusion well i mean about the cellini's model
01:08:08why should you want her to leave why shouldn't i well obviously oh it just can't be why are you
01:08:15interested me oh why should i it's cellini she's not just a model you know oh isn't she

01:08:57secret any longer keep what a secret oh you know i i told the duchess all about it yes you should
01:09:04really learn to guard your secrets more carefully what is the secret my lady oh well now come don't be
01:09:10bashful i told her about you and angela being in love and all that but my lady his excellency has
01:09:20made a mistake i am afraid that you are the one who has made the mistake cellini but surely my lord

01:15:53Benvenuto. Benvenuto, my love.
01:15:56Oh, I killed you. Speak to me, my beloved.
01:16:00Speak to me, my beloved.
01:16:03Speak to me.
01:16:05Oh, I...
01:16:08Clear the hole, everybody.
01:16:11Where are the guards? Send them out.
01:16:15Don't look. You'd better go, too. I'll see you.
01:16:22Oh, oh, oh.
01:16:26You, you dare do this to me, the Duke of Florence in front of my whole court.
01:16:30Oh, to petition with the court, with you, with everything.
01:16:33Oh, you, you're not going to rule this court any longer.
01:16:36From now on, there's only one Duke of Florence, and I'm it.
01:16:39I've been suspicious of you for a long while.
01:16:41You're going to pay for this with your head, milady.
01:16:43I have a witness here to bear me out.
01:16:45Oh, Taviano, you tell milady that...
01:16:47Oh.
01:16:48Oh.
01:16:49Oh.
01:16:50Oh.
01:16:51Oh.
01:16:52Now see what you've done.
01:17:19The only cousin I had left.
01:17:21He was all right a little while ago.
01:17:23Now look at him.
01:17:24You're going to be punished, both of you.
01:17:26I'll have you torn under the...
01:17:29I'll put you in...
01:17:30I'll boil eggs under your armpit.
01:17:32I'll soak your feet in...
01:17:34You wouldn't get excited, Bumpy.
01:17:36What?
01:17:37You might get apoplexy, Bumpy.
01:17:40No, she...
01:17:43Bumpy.
01:17:48Bumpy, is it?
01:17:51I begin to see the light.
01:17:53Oh, what light, m'lady?
01:17:56So you're going to have my head, are you?
01:17:58Oh, well, anybody is likely to get excited.
01:18:02So there's to be but one Duke of Florence from now on, is there?
01:18:06Oh, I never said anything of the kind.
01:18:08If you can joke, I don't see why I can't joke too.
01:18:12Well, if my lord offers no objections, I think I should return to the Winter Palace tonight.
01:18:18Me?
01:18:19Oh, of course not.
01:18:21Perhaps it would be best if I took Cellini with me.
01:18:24There's a new fountain needed in the courtyard.
01:18:26He should start work on it at once.
01:18:28Oh, yes, of course.
01:18:30Good night, m'lady.
01:18:31Good night, m'lady.
01:18:32Good night, m'lorn.
01:18:33I...

01:18:35I meant...
01:18:36I was...
01:18:37Good night.
01:18:38Good night.
01:18:39Good night, m'lady.
01:18:40Good night, m'lorn.
01:18:41I...
01:18:42No, I was...
