THE SECOND ACT
105
Tony
Don’ fight!
Father McKee
You’ll have to pardon me, Tony, but when I hear these heretics gettin’ full on bootleg liquor and callin’ it sacramental!
[The rest of the argument is drowned in the pandemonium of the crowd. At first The Doctor tries to keep them out.]
The Guests
Buona notte! Buon riposo! Evviva Antonio! Tanti auguri! Felice notte! Tante grazie!
Joe
Festa’s over.
The Guests
Come sta Antonio? Come va? Voglio veder la padrona! Grazie, Antonio! Buona notte! Tanti auguri! A rivederci!
The Doctor
[To Joe]: Tell them to cut the row!
The Guests
Grazie, Antonio! Mille grazie, Antonio! Buona notte, Antonio! Tanti auguri! A rivederci!
