Life Is Beautiful (La vita è bella) Scene 2 Summary

  • Ferruccio's under the car fixing the brakes. He gets frustrated with Guido's attempts to help and requests ten minutes alone to fix it.
  • Guido goes to the nearby farm to wash his hands. There, he runs into a girl and jokes that he's a prince off to meet a princess.
  • A woman falls out of a nearby barn, and Guido rushes to catch her. Jokingly, he welcomes her into his arms, saying, "Good morning, Princess!" It's even more charming in Italian.
  • Ferruccio honks for Guido. Dora asks how she can repay him, and Guido takes six eggs, you know, to make a nice frittata for his squire in the car.
