00:00 - It keeps the doctor away.
00:02 - Don't start, please.
00:04 Keep kissing me, I beg you.
00:06 - It's against the rules.
00:09 - Why have birth control when you can have death control?
00:19 Live dangerously, but within the law.

00:36 - May I go now? - Just a minute.
00:38 Live dangerously, but within the law.
00:43 - Is that your car? - Yes.

03:03 What a spot! If we don't find a perfect location to shoot the commercial in Rome, we might as well drown ourselves.
03:15 Why not try St. Peter's? After all, the Pope is American.
03:20 - And I should dress as a nun. - I'm for shooting it in a studio.
03:24 Well, you can push that idea right out of your head.
03:26 - That'd be easier in a studio. - That's the Vatican, isn't it?
03:30 Boy, what I'd give to be able to shoot it down there.
03:32 Forget it. They're against the whole big hunt idea.
03:35 It's too bad, though. I came here a couple of years ago on my honeymoon with my, uh...
03:42 Let's see, what was it? 11th wife. Boy, time flies, doesn't it?
03:46 I still say that we ought to shoot it in a studio!
03:51 Stop cackling about it, will you? You come all the way to Rome and now you want to shoot it in a studio. What are you, flaky?
03:57 - Hey, that wouldn't be a bad spot. - But the body could fall in that fountain in the middle.
04:01 Nah, that would never work.
04:03 I just saved the day. You know what the perfect place is? The Coliseum.
04:10 Hey, that's not bad, not bad. How about it if we change the script and we open the show with a couple of dozen gladiators?
04:15 Steady, boy, steady. We're on a budget, remember?
04:17 Oh, listen, we could bring 'em in from Yugoslavia for peanuts.
04:21 I think it's a good idea. Although we have to watch out they don't smash the equipment and everything.
04:27 Say, if we could get him rigged up as a gladiator, that would really be the greatest. I like it, I like it.
04:34 And I call Miss Cleopatra.
04:37 What's Cleopatra got to do with the Coliseum?
04:40 Wait a minute, forget about it. We can't shoot in there, it's full of holes.
04:44 Yeah, maybe you're right. Why, they just let it go to pot, didn't they?
04:48 And what about the chorus? A midget couldn't dance in there, much less 20 girls.
04:53 Now, we gotta find somewhere else.
04:56 Wait a minute, there it is, Carolyn, that's where you're gonna kill him. Right down there.
05:01 What is it?
05:03 The Temple of Venus.
05:05 May I come in?
05:08 Who are you?
05:10 Don't be afraid, we're only here to attach your furniture. How are you, Senor Poletti, how are you today?
05:14 Fine, fine, come in.
05:16 You could have notified me at least.
05:21 Well?
05:28 The law says I can keep my bed.
05:30 You also have the right to a chair and a table, like last time.
05:34 If you don't mind, take the TV last, I'm watching a program.
05:37 Yes, the television last, if you want. I'm a great follower of the Big Hunt.
05:41 As a dedicated fan of yours, I've followed your hunt for many years, and I...
05:45 Shh, shh, shh.
05:47 What is this? What are you doing?
05:53 Taking the furniture.
05:54 Well, then, I'll help you.
05:55 Thank you.
05:56 Marcello, you can go out, darling, and get me some new furniture.
06:05 No! Take my classics, no!
06:08 Marcello!
06:09 Marcello, they're going too far, you've got to do something.
06:14 If you permit them to take our classics, what will I read?
06:17 I wouldn't be doing my duty if I didn't take it, because it's an extremely valuable library.
06:22 Marcello, do something!
06:23 Wait, I'll help you.
06:25 Do you realize I have a Flash Gordon in the Gold Kingdom?
06:33 It's a very first edition, valuable work.
06:35 We will show you the victory celebration for Tjutsi,
06:38 the first Asian in history to reach the glorious goal of ten victorious...
06:42 Oh, the damn hunt!
06:43 Quiet.
06:44 Here are the Hong Kong celebrations in his honor.
06:47 All China has risen up as a single person to honor its new hero.
06:52 The parade will last four days, and he will be awarded all the special privileges
06:57 which our society can bestow upon him for his courage and greatness.
07:01 Tax exemption, free admission to all theaters, discounts on railway and airplane fares.
07:08 There he goes, passing through the crowds.
07:10 Decathlon Tjutsi, protected by an immense silk umbrella, sun-shaped to symbolize...
07:16 Sorry.
07:20 Well, see you next time we attach your furniture.
07:24 Very sorry about your classics, signora.
07:26 Signorina.
07:30 Good hunting.
07:31 Hello, please send me some samples of neo-Gothic furniture.
07:35 We'll pay for it.
07:36 You with what you get from the next hunt.
07:37 If I die?
07:38 That's what insurance is for.
07:39 Sorry, we live at Piazza Fellini, 123.
07:44 Yes, on the top floor.
07:46 Thank you.
07:47 Leave me alone.
07:49 Play with Tommaso.
07:50 How old is this Polletti?
07:57 Forty.
07:58 Married?
07:59 Yeah.
08:00 How many times?
08:02 Once.
08:03 Once.
08:04 Rich?
08:10 Hasn't got a cent.
08:11 Well, I wrapped up the Temple of Venus. We can start any time.
08:15 Under what sign was he born?
08:19 Gemini.
08:20 All liars, you can't trust 'em.
08:22 I've got him on the monitor. Let's go.
08:27 Look at that. Just moping around.
08:30 Typical Italian. All he wants to do is goof off in the sun.
08:34 Like a turtle.
08:35 He looks tired.
08:39 Maybe he has trouble sleeping.
08:41 Ideal victim.
08:43 I don't trust those lazy types. You never know what they're up to.
08:46 I don't know what they're up to.
08:48 I don't know what they're up to.
08:50 I don't know what they're up to.
08:52 I don't know what they're up to.
08:53 I don't trust those lazy types. You never know what they're up to.
08:57 What's he picking up?
09:02 It's a doll.
09:03 Maybe he's got sex problems.
09:05 Who knows?
09:06 What's going on?
09:07 Hey, they're really having a fight.
09:09 Look, it doesn't faze him at all.
09:11 Who are all those guys?
09:13 Ah, they're nothing. Artists.
09:15 You think he got the notification?
09:20 That was sooncy.
09:22 There he goes again.
09:24 Same old hangout.
09:26 If you hurry up, you can catch him there.
09:29 Information, Hunt Ministry. I'd like some information, please.
09:33 Can you tell me if B-2738, Poletti Marcello, has received notification of the hunt?
09:39 Affirmative.
09:41 He's been notified.
09:42 Are women allowed in?
09:44 Who knows?
09:46 But there's a dietetic restaurant with a terrace where he goes every day.
09:51 Anybody can go there.
09:53 Go on, hurry up.
09:54 You follow them.
09:57 Right.
09:58 Hello, hello, hello. Over.
10:00 What's the situation? Over.
10:02 I met the snack bar.
10:04 Poletti has arrived and Carolin's near him up on the terrace. Over.
10:08 Good. Keep an eye on them.
10:10 Roger. Over and out.
10:12 [clicking]
10:14 [music]
10:27 What do you want?
10:29 I am all alone here in Rome.
10:33 I'd like very much to talk to someone.
10:36 I'm famous for not speaking to people.
10:40 My name is Carolin Meredith.
10:42 All right.
10:43 Are you busy this evening?
10:46 This evening I'll probably be a dead man.
10:49 Oh.
10:52 But you're very brave to expose yourself like this.
10:57 I don't have the money it would take me to organize an efficient defense.
11:01 Well, if it's a question of saving your life...
11:06 [gunshot]
11:09 Oh, no!
11:10 [gunshot]
11:13 [gunshot]
11:18 [gunshot]
11:24 [gunshot]
11:27 Excuse me.
11:31 [gunshot]
11:33 Hey, hey, no, no. You can't, you can't shoot here.
11:38 It's not permitted to shoot here. Put your gun away.
11:40 It's not permitted? What do you mean?
11:41 It's not permitted since the first of the month.
11:42 We put up a big sign over the door.
11:44 Find out about the rules before you go on a hunt.
11:46 I'll give you a minute's head start. Go on.
11:51 Ah, what a life we live.
11:54 In hospitals it's not permitted to shoot.
11:57 In restaurants, not permitted.
11:58 In churches, not permitted.
12:00 At the barbers, it's not permitted.
12:01 In the orphanages, not permitted.
12:03 It's not permitted any place anymore.
12:05 What's the good of the hunt anyway?
12:07 What a way to earn a living.
12:09 Good luck. Thanks.
12:10 Sure.
12:11 Excuse me.
12:21 But once I saw one that was loaded with a Colt .45.
12:26 In America we don't have those kind of restrictions.
12:29 Every man is allowed to shoot wherever and whenever he pleases.
12:34 America's another story.
12:37 Answer it.
12:38 Hello?
12:41 Is Marcello Polletti there?
12:43 No, I'm sorry. Mr. Polletti isn't here.
12:47 There.
12:48 Thank you.
12:53 Mr. Polletti.
13:00 Mr. Polletti.

13:40 [Music]
14:05 I want to relax, please.
14:07 What nationality would you like?
14:09 English.
14:10 Is this a charge?
14:11 No, cash.
14:12 Will you register?
14:14 [Music]
14:43 Hello, darling.
14:45 Would you like something cool to drink? A little music?
