[TONY, spoken]
Carissima! What's-a matter you ain't dressed for the party tongith?
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Tony... I'm not going to be at any party. 
[TONY, spoken]
What?
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Tony, listen to me. I've got to tell you something. Something terrible. 
[TONY, spoken]
Nunja tell me nothing terrible, Rosabella. 
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
I'm going away. I'm leaving here. 
[TONY, spoken]
You go 'way?
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
When I tell you what happened, it's going to hurt you something awful. 
[TONY, spoken]
What? Rosabella? Where you go?
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
When I tell you the truth you'd throw me out anyhow. 
[TONY, spoken]
The truth? What truth? What's-a matter? What's happened?
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Tony... I'm going to have a baby. 
[TONY, spoken]
Cos' hai detto?
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
I'm going to have a baby. I had to tell you the truth. I just had to. I guеss I could have just run away, but I—
[TONY, spoken]
Who? Who?
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Joe. 
[TONY, spoken]
Joe! Dio! Dio mio!
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
It just happеned, that's all. It was crazy. 
[TONY, spoken]
You've been Joe's woman!
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
It was crazy. 
[TONY, spoken]
You been goin' in the bed with Joe!
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
It didn't mean anything to me. I swear I haven't even spoken alone to Joe since that night. 
[TONY, spoken]
What night?
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Our wedding night. The night I came here. 
[TONY, spoken]
Goddamn you! Get out!
[ROSABELLA, spoken]
Here's the tie-pin back. When you left it for me, it meant you kind of trusted me. I wasn't worth it.
