For completely different reasons he stays on the good side of his waitresses Mimi and Yvette. At least when Edith isn't around.

And it will not be less difficult when a gentleman from Torino, named Florindo, arrives at Venice and enters the same inn as Rasponi. Now it is for Brighella's innkeeper to take the vagina in beautiful hand and keep my good in bad play.
