Monello. 381 00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:12,737 That would be the word I would use. 382 00:38:12,832 --> 00:38:16,575 It's an Italian word for, you know, like a schoolboy sense of humor. 383 00:38:16,669 --> 00:38:21,003 He would take delight in the little funny things, you know? The stupid things. 384 00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:25,379 Mr. Pavarotti, speaking on behalf of all the ladies in the audience, 385 00:38:25,470 --> 00:38:29,258 we should like you to know that we love large men, 386 00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,555 and particularly... 387 00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:41,858 Especially large men with large voices. 388 00:38:42,737 --> 00:38:46,321 Do you think that your huggable extra inches 389 00:38:46,407 --> 00:38:49,240 helps to produce that beautiful resonance? 390 00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:50,533 I think so. 391 00:39:09,806 --> 00:39:12,172 When I was born in this building, 392 00:39:12,267 --> 00:39:15,509 it was already six year that a boy was not born. 393 00:39:16,896 --> 00:39:20,354 So I was the first boy after six years 394 00:39:20,441 --> 00:39:24,229 born in a house with 15 family, 100 people. 395 00:39:24,946 --> 00:39:29,736 My mother embraced me, and with all the women of this house, 396 00:39:29,826 --> 00:39:31,612 I was the Lucianino. 397 00:39:32,328 --> 00:39:34,159 Everybody was looking for me. 398 00:39:34,956 --> 00:39:40,326 I was very much spoiled, loved, but even... kept smart. 399 00:39:42,714 --> 00:39:46,172 I think Luciano loved women.
