Scenes
A group of boys gathers around a small tree to pee on it, but they are interrupted by a man who appears on his balcony and starts shooting a gun toward them.
Paolino (Franco Franchi) is a waiter at a fancy dinner party. After drinking numerous beverages so that he could identify them for a guest, he needs to pee. He goes to the bathroom but his zipper is padlocked shut for some reason, so he leaves to retrieve the key from his jacket. This leads to a comical sequence in which he repeatedly loses the key, ultimately accidentally flushing it down the toilet after rudely interrupting another man who is pissing. He then spots a flexible plastic tube in the men's room, and tries sticking it down his pants to pee through it while standing on his hands upside down over the toilet! This fails when his boss comes in and makes him get back to work. He must then serve drinks while extremely desperate to pee, squirming around the whole time and even knocking over another waiter. Finally, a woman drags him into a puppet booth to make out with him, and we see a flood of liquid coming from under the booth, indicating he has finally pissed his pants. This is one of the longest desperation sequences in any feature film.
