Lot of explosions and shooting at first light of dawn, my friend. Are we winning the war?

GROSZ as "TARZAN"

Tommaso, mi amich - by sunrise tomorrow there won't be a German left anywhere in Italy!  WE lobbed a grenade into the back of the house where the Commandante was sleeping, and when the survivors ran out the front door, we shot them from up there - the balcony of the Mayor''s palazzo.

TOM

What did the Mayor have to say about that?

"TARZAN"

We shot him too. He was a Fascist and also, though it's not technically a criminal offence, he was a capitalist swine. We also shot the Chief of Police, another Fascist swine -

TOM

I see. No more swine.

"TARZAN"

We're doing our best. It's going to be a new world after the war, my friend, and we might as well start now to clean house.

TOM

Well - it's your house.

"TARZAN"

It is now. So we shot most of the police force too, they were fascist pigs and we had to shoot them all, otherwise how could we sleep nights?

TOM

Who's left?

"TARZAN"

You're joking, right? Very funny. Come to the festa in the town square tonight and you'll see who's left. You'll also see who's right.
