Tom, I'm assuming in the Italian version of "A Christmas Story," the Dad says "Fragile, must be American." To which the wife responds, "I think it says far-gi-ley." 🤪
To the neophytes to the movie, you'll notice the box says "HIS END UP" and "RAGILE." (In other words the Dad should say "Rag-ailse."). The box was too big to fit through the front door so they had to saw off a few inches.
Fra-gil-lay. means as in english - fragile.
