- [first lines]
- Fabio: [yelling in the town square at the crack of dawn, winded after a tiring bicycle ride back to town] Padre! Padre Polenta!
- Padre Polenta: [yelling in return after opening an upper window of the church] Who is that?
- Fabio: It's Fabio, Padre. Fabio de la Romagna. I've come from Montefiore, and they want to ring the bell.
- Padre Polenta: Fabio, have you been drinking?
- Fabio: There is great news, Padre. Important news.
- [Fabio runs into the church and starts madly ringing the bell]
- Fabio: He may look like a clown, but he acts like a real leader of men.
