5. Medium shot. He opened his palms with a smile, blew, and the catkins flew away. Now, Judizio, with the self-confidence of an ignorant, is ready to introduce the catkins formally and scientifically.

Scene of the main street of eight small towns. Barber Shop. interior. night. spring.

11. Medium and close shots, follow the shots. In the evening, the small hall of the barber shop was filled with a happy atmosphere, and the barber shop was about to close. One of the two barbers was soaping the city secretary and shaving. He was immersed in memories of his childhood.

Barber: ...We have fourteen children in our family! My father was angry when I was born, and he named me Definitivo, meaning the last one.

Municipal Secretary: We have such a big-talker. He won't be angry. Has his beard finished?

Another kind, bearded barber, who has just finished haircutting for a young man in town, is focusing on folding white towels. A friend of the son's brother stood nearby waiting for him.

[Young Master’s friend (voices overlap, yawning): There is a cure, but it’s a bit embarrassing: Ram’s hot urine is used every morning like shampoo! ]

A bald fascist in a black shirt took his raincoat from the hanger and put it on, greeted the people, and walked out the door.

Fascists: Goodbye!

Barber: Goodbye!

Brother brother's friend: See you in the square!

Bearded barber (voice overlap): [Not just grow new hair... (towards that bald fascist)]. goodbye! [You can also grow a new conscience, can't it! ]

A girl appeared at the door: it was Gladiska's sister.

Gladiska's sister (back view): I'll come to pick up my sister, is it early? (The men in the shop roared with laughter)

Bearded Barber: Ninola, beauty, your sister is here! (To sister) Baby!

Gladyska was wearing a white coat and poked her head from behind the curtains, which divided the barbershop into men and women.

Gladisca: Hey, Fiorella! ...

12. Medium shot. Gladiska was a red-haired, blue-eyed beauty about thirty years old, and everyone in the town knew her. She was full of feminine charm, as well as unmarried women's longing and expectation for Prince Charming. At the same time, Gladiska was immersed in the love story seen in the movie, happily accepting the somewhat presumptuous love from the men in the town.

Gladiska: ...my beauty, it's over. come in!

Gladiska's sister (outside the picture): ...good evening, Olympus! (Roaring laughter)

Gladisca lets customers blow their hair under a helmet-style hair dryer. The younger sister followed Gladiska into the curtain and sat on the small sofa. Her other sister was also wearing a white lab coat, sucking her fingers absently.

Gladiska's sister: Can you come in? This year's Dado is taller than last year, with a height of 1.5 meters.

Gladiska’s little sister: Why did you wear my shoes today?

13. Medium and close shots. The son-in-law stood up from the barber chair, combed his hair again in front of the mirror, and his friend straightened his hair with his hands. The bearded barber finished folding the towels.

Bearded Barber: At the order of the knight!

Brother brother: Are you going to the party tonight? What tune do you play?

Bearded Barber: A piece of my own, now let you listen to it.

He went to the curtain and put down the towel, picked up the clarinet and started blowing. From the seams of the curtains, you can see the back of Gladyska dancing to the music. Brother brother's friends clapped and applauded.

Brother brother's friend: Great, unparalleled in the world!

The plump, chest-out female owner of the tobacco shop is holding her father. He is a weak person.

Tobacco shop female owner: Dad, now we are going to watch the fire and woodpile, and then I will take you home, because the doctor said you should go to bed early.

The father of the female tobacco shop owner: You tell the doctor that he is a liar, and I only go to sleep when I want to sleep.
