In the beginning there was Bombolini the fool, Bombolini the drunk, Bombolini the joke. In the end there was Bombolini the mayor, Bombolini the hero, Bombolini the beautiful. In between is the secret of Santa Vittoria.

Quotes:

Italo Bombolini: "Mathematically"! If I only had a mind like his. *Math-ay-mat-tee-cally*!

Italo Bombolini: It's nice to have a hot meal before you die.::Rosa Bombolini: You aren't going to die.::Italo Bombolini: I'm the mayor, no? The Germans come. I greet them. They threaten me! I spit in their face! They put a pistol to my head and blow out my brains!::Rosa Bombolini: Why would they put a pistol to your head? The whole world knows Bombolini's brains are in his ass.

[the Fascist members of the Santa Vittoria town council are being held prisoner in the church bell tower. The priest brings them a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine]::Francucci: It's criminal! You keep us locked up! We don't get enough food! You tell us nothing! There's not even a toilet!::Priest: Next time, vote Communist!

[Young Fabio has been caught making love to Bombolini's daughter, Angela]::Italo Bombolini: I'm going to punish that boy so that he remembers it for the rest of his life.::[In the next scene, Fabio and Angela leave the church, having just been married]

Italo Bombolini: [the town council wants to resist German occupation] Every Santa Vittorian has known for the last thousand years: brave men and good wine - they don't last long.

Priest: [Bombolini wants the priest to pray for the rain to stop while the villagers move the wine] Nobody ever prays for sun, they only pray for rain.::Babbaluche: In Noah's ark people prayed for rain?::Priest: That was before organised religion.::Babbaluche: Sure, all they had was God, the poor bastards.

Italo Bombolini: [Repeated line] There is no wine.

Benito Mussolini: [written on the wall in the village] "It is better to live a day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep. Benito Mussolini"::Italo Bombolini: [written underneath it] "It is better to live 100 years. Italo Bombalini"

Ladies and gentlemen!
We got de la up in the house tonight
They just walked up in here
We gon’ see if they can come up here
And do a lil’ somethin for us
[dove]
Yo, it’s star-studded in here
I’m on the moon like the first man
First can I grab is gon’ get it
She all independent but want her throat wetted
Tight from the floor to height
See I saw the night, in dream bubbles I fiend to see double
So I sip until my bladder bust
You in v.i.p., so why you mad at us? (word)
By-stand, I’m in the world fox-trottin
Gettin my fred astaire on, follow my lead girl
Chorus: repeat 2x - (uh-huh only 2nd repeat)
Me and you come over, we
Do it like the cha-cha, just
Like we at the cop-a, ca-bang-a (uh-huh)
[pos]
For all my niggaz runnin around like the mothership landed
Or is it because there’s some others who handed
Their daughters over to the night life
Yes we tryin to find a night wife to get wit
Interface with they whole clique, I force the draft
I get the first pick, run this easily
? ? rule like d, joey and jay
Around the way, we’re goin
But first tell all these women who ain’t knowin
Chorus 2x
[pos]
Yo.. I talk no shame upon this
I got aim all on this to shoot and score the trout
Who’s actin all cute and out of position while I’m wishin
To get her bottom limbs arched like a grasshopper
Puttin in work to make it last proper
Ninety percent of the time is on my mindframe
So I’m game to reign up to par
While my fam runs it cool up at the bar, I stay clearheaded
Lettuce enough cheese to get shredded
We like navy seals lookin for the gold
Our natural appeal got them others on hold
Them girls dealin with us tonight
Came with the large appetite and got served
Got nerve to think less, you can bless me and my kinfolk
Rushin up against my yolk-sac promote that
Pimp play upon how we get it on for real!
Chorus
[dove]
You see you hopeless up in the spot
Talkin a lot of champagne taste holdin 40 ounce pockets
Switch the sprocket to gear to top of the year
We gon’ drop it like confetti on it, get ready on it
Her fast ass wanna get all andretti on it
Makin my main man poke like trakmasterz
Blazin-trail, we portland to nor-ton
"honeymoon" flicks don’t exist in this
I sip a little left to twist spines together
Vertical hold, we gon’ combine together (yeah)
Even if we spill the love
We got compliments up at the front door
Just tell em dullah sent ya
Thirty minute tae*bo shit’s how I bench ya
All on a saturday night, step to life
I love the way sally walk
Bow legged in a two piece steel, we live in new york
We live in new york
Chorus 1.5x
