"Sorry, Professor, but there seems to be a problem with your return journey." " Seems to be or is?" " All flights have been suspended." "Why?" "There's been a security alert." "The airport's going to be closed for a few hours." " Let's find an alternative." " Fine." "Thank you." "Biofarm report." "Category:" "COX2 selective inhibitor." "Subject:" "BF 24731." "Analgesic non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug." "Preclinical tests." "Excuse me." "Would you like an apéritif?" "There you are." "Would you like one?" " Would you like an apéritif?" " No, thank you." "Actually, yes, why not?" "There you are." "Dear Madam," "I am on this train because of your kindness and help," "and I've onlyjust realised that I didn't thank you properly." "I should have shown you the gratitude that you deserve." "Everything happened in such a rush." "It's been a crazy day, full of problems and unforeseen circumstances." "Attention, please." "The connecting service for Milan, Bologna and Rome will be leaving from Platform 1 at least 40 minutes later than advertised." "Attention, please." "The connecting service for Milan, Bologna and Rome will be leaving from Platform 1 at least 40 minutes later than advertised." " Professor!" " Here I am!" "There's no rush." "Theyjust announced that it's running half an hour late." "Thank heavens." "I'd have missed it otherwise." "Why is it running so late?" "They said there's an obstruction on the line." "But there is still a chance that we'll get going?" "Single." "Everything's fine." "Carry on." "Passengers with restaurant-car reservations can now board." "This way, please." "First sitting, second sitting." "Two meal vouchers, one for each sitting." "Two meal vouchers?" "That way you get a comfortable seat for the whole journey." "It was the only way to reserve a seat." " Excellent idea." " lt's a useful little trick." " l'm going to have to eat twice." " Everybody on the train, please." "Good evening." "Your passport, please." "Sorry?" "I would like to see your passport, please." "I've never had this before in all these years." "And the reason for your stay here?" "Consultancy work for Biofarm." "I'm a pharmacologist." "The professor is a scientist." "He's been working with us for years." "Ah." "Have a good trip." " Good night." " Goodbye." "Don't you think they're overdoing it?" "Sometimes overdoing it is a good precautionary measure." "Do I look like the type you need to take precautionary measures with?" "You do have a certain air of mystery about you." "Enough to worry a police officer?" "It's different for a woman." "A bit of mystery can arouse our curiosity." "That's a nice thing to say, even if you're just being polite." "Kind." "Dear kind Madam." "We only spent a few minutes waiting for the train together, only exchanged a fewwords." "But it was enough for me to realise that I'm getting used to being in your company." "In fact, as the train was about to leave, I started to feel that emptiness that you get when you're away from people who are dear to you." "Sorry, but I'm worried about getting back." "I've got a dinner engagement that I can't miss." "You should be able to get a train from Innsbruck." "They're all running late." "It's the knock-on effect of all the flights being cancelled." "Attention, please." "The connecting service for Milan, Bologna and Rome will be leaving from Platform 1 at least..." " Professor!" " Here I am. I almost missed it." "Passengers arriving from Lipsia and Frankfurt via Innsbruck," "the connecting service for Milan, Bologna, Florence and Rome is now leaving from Platform 1, not Platform 7." "If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time we've met." "You're not mistaken." "Have you been in the Biofarm family a long time?" "Almost 20 years." "Sorry." "Yes?" "No, nothing's changed." "Yes, all the flights have been suspended, so I'm taking the train." "It's my daughter." "She gets worried very easily." "Everything's delayed." "I don't knowwhat's going on." "I'll call you as soon as I get there." "Give Bicco a kiss and tell him that Grandpa's on his way." "Yes." "Bye." "Bye." "Don't worry." "I promised my grandson I'd be back in time to blow out his birthday-cake candles with him." "He's a lovely little boy." "Our familyjust gets better and better every generation." "He gave me this coin this morning." "He didn't want me to go." "And so I said to him," ""l have to go to work so I can earn some money to buy you a nice present for your birthday."" "I was on my way out when I saw him hold his hand out to give me something." "He opened his little fist and there was this coin." "He didn't want me to go." "Here are my phone numbers." "If you need anything, any time." "I was wondering if... lf?" "If you ever used to play the piano, by any chance." "No." "Unfortunately, I didn't." "Why did you ask me that?" "When I was a child, I'd often end up in my room on my own." "Sometimes in the summer, I'd hear a piano playing in the afternoon." "Really?" "The music came from an open window." "But it was dark inside and you couldn't see who was playing." "I'd sit there daydreaming." "I'm holding the card that you kindly left me." "And I see your name on it" " Sabine." "Would you let me take the liberty, as I continue writing this letter, of calling you, with respectful familiarity, dear Sabine?" "It's free, this place?" " Ah, yes." "Sorry." " Thanks." "Excuse me, ma'am." "Can you open this bag?" " What?" " He wants to see what's in your bag." "Whatever." "What does he want?" "Thank you, madam." "He's really sweet, your little one." " He's your baby?" " No." "Yes?" "Yes." "Positive." " Yes, it's me." " There you are, sir." "Water." "I'm on my way at last." "Yes, I'll be back about 9, 9:30." "Yes, get Graziano to come and pick me up at the usual exit." "I'll call him when I'm almost there." "is the little one there?" "Watching cartoons?" "No, it's better that way." "Leave him." "He'll fall asleep soon, and when he wakes up tomorrow, I'll be there." "Here you are." "Would you like some pasta?" " And you, sir?" " Excuse me." " Sorry." " Here you are." "Would you like some?" "And you, sir?" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "is the toilet that way?" "is there anyone in there?" "Thank you." "We've only got pasta." "Would you like some?" "Can you tell us why everything's in such a mess?" "Now the train's slowing down." "There must be some sort of obstruction on the line." "It's almost as if the train feels a bit like me and is hesitating." "An hour ago, I was worrying about how I'd get home." "But now, if the train stopped, turned round and went back the way it came, I'd be happy." "But I don't want to let my imagination run away with me and start daydreaming like a teenager." "As I said, I've always been a bit of a dreamer." "In your dreams, whatever you want to happen can happen." "In your dreams you don't have to explain anything." "Nobody asks why because there are no answers." "Age doesn't exist in dreams." "We're always young." "And beautiful." "I know that I risk sounding rather pathetic." "That's old age for you." "We hide certain feelings so that we don't get ashamed of them." "We're afraid of seeming ridiculous." "But now I know that my time is almost up," "I'm sometimes taken unawares by this strong tie binding me to life, an expectation of happiness," "a bit like when I still had the right to fall in love." "Have I offended you by telling you how I feel?" "You don't have to answer." "I can't help feeling that something truly beautiful has happened." "Come on." "Come on." "Push it." "Please, just stop it!" "What the hell are they doing here?" "They shouldn't be here." "They should be in another compartment." "They cannot stay here." "Did you check them?" "Yes." "Waiter?" "Yes, sir?" " Can I have a glass of milk, please?" " Of course." "Warm milk, please." "Yes." "Thank you." "The train arriving at Platform 1 is the intercity..." "The train leaving from Platform 1 is the intercity to Rome..." "Look at all those people still getting on." " Are you sure we can go down there?" " Follow me." "Put it up there." "And this one, please." "Excuse me." " Aren't these seats reserved?" " Don't worry." " Thank you." "That's very kind." " Don't mention it." "Let's swap places." "Let's swap places." "Yes." "There you go." "You know I like facing the way the train's going." "You should be aware of these things." "Yes." " ls it OK if I go to the bathroom?" " Of course." "Leave yourjacket on the seat so people can see it's taken." " lt's engaged." " Thanks." "That's OK." "Listen, Grandma can't find her pills." "Grandma's pills." "Where are they?" " ln the bag." "The red bag." " The red one?" " Are you waiting?" " No, thanks." "Tickets, please." "It's a problem." "We know it's a problem." "But you mustn't get upset like that." "You really mustn't get upset like that." "It's worse if you don't... lf you don't get this sorted out, you can't move on." "It's been ages since..." "Yes." "But it's not like he told you himself." "He didn't tell you, you guessed." "But do you trust him?" "Do you trust him?" "No, if you're like this you don't trust him." "I don't know where the papers could be." "If you don't know..." "You're the one who puts all his stuff away." "You haven't seen the papers since then?" "I don't know." "No, for the baby." "The baby wasn't there..." "Hold on a second." "Excuse me a second." "Excuse me." "Someone's sitting here." "Sorry. I've just come back from the toilet." "This is my seat and that's my phone." "I'm really sorry, but there's a gentleman..." ""A gentleman"?" "That phone is mine." "It was on the table, or in myjacket pocket." "Excuse me." "Listen, you've got to explain this properly." "He told you that?" "He left in the morning and said, "l'm not coming home this evening"?" "Oh, he didn't tell you?" "And so...?" "Can you get off the phone, please?" "I don't want to have to raise my voice." "I've got to go. lt's expensive calling from mobiles during the day." " l'm the one that's paying." " Bye, darling." "Bye." "Will you tell me what you want?" "That phone is mine." "This is my phone." "That phone is mine. I'd recognise it anywhere. I've had it over ten years." "And I recognise the case." "It's my case." "I don't want to cause a scene in public." "Give me the phone and let's forget about it." "I've had this phone for ten years too." "My husband gave it to me, and you have no idea how much it means to me." "Shall we check the numbers in the directory?" "I'm not checking anything." "You must have left your phone somewhere else." "I haven't left it anywhere." "I either left it on the table or in my pocket." " Listen, I don't want..." " Please don't put it away." "I've got other problems, believe me." "We've all got problems." "Take the phone out of your bag." "It's my phone and I'm putting it in my bag." " Do I have to call the guard?" " Call whoever you like!" "Don't talk to me in that tone of voice." "Give me that phone." "I'll talk to you in the tone of voice you deserve." " Here's the inspector." " Tickets, please." " Go away, please." " l know it's not yourjob, but I think this lady has taken my phone." "In fact, I'm sure she has." "This gentleman thinks that I've taken his phone." " But this phone is mine." " We need to sort this out." "Could you do me a favour and help me out here?" "You're right, it's not myjob." "Take the phone out of your bag." "I'll take my phone out when I want, because it's mine." "I pay for it and I make calls on it." "You're being very rude." "In front of all these people..." " How can you say that?" " You're causing a scene." "I'm not causing a scene!" "This is my phone." "Stop bothering me." "You're wasting everybody's time." "Shall we check to see if it's your phone?" "No, I don't want to." "Madam, could you show your phone to the gentleman?" "This phone?" "No." "See what I mean about her being rude?" "OK, let's see." "Can I ask you not to use it for a minute, please?" "I use my phone when I want." "Let's try to sort out this problem, please." "Tell me your number." "3384515750." " l'm sorry." " OK." "We make mistakes in life, don't we?" "These things happen." "But seeing as these things do happen, perhaps we should pay more attention." "I'm sorry, madam." "You know how it is, with this hot weather we're having... lt's not my day today." "Tickets, please." "Tickets, please." "I'm disappointed in you." "Go and get me some water to take my pills." "OK." "Excuse me." "Can you take a photo of us?" "It's ready." "Just press the button." "Thank you." "What were you on about?" "They're not in the red bag." "Have a good look in the red bag." "They're at the bottom." "Grandma and I looked." " Look properly." " l looked properly!" "Why does it always have to be me?" "Can't you go?" "Do we know each other?" "What does that mean?" "That... we know each other very well." "You too." "Maybe we were too little." " From where?" " From Bracciano." " Bracciano..." " Excuse me." "Attention, please." "In a few minutes we will be arriving." "Please be ready if you are getting off here." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "There seems to be a mix-up with the seat numbers." "What do you mean?" "Our tickets are for these two seats, 51 and 52." "No, this is my seat." "And that one." "It's written here, see?" " We made a reservation." " Yes, but this is my seat." "Could you check your ticket?" "Because perhaps... I'm not checking my ticket." "I'm sitting here and this is my seat." " We've made reservations." " You are in our seats." "I'm not in your seats, I'm in my seat." "This is my seat." "Can I see your ticket?" "If it says so on your ticket, it's your seat." " But there's..." " You can't see my ticket." "It's your problem, not mine." "This is my seat and I'm not moving." "Look, if you let me see your ticket, we'll see if it's the right one... I'm not going to let you see my ticket." "Do you understand?" "I'm sitting in my seat, and that seat is mine too." "If everyone did what you're doing..." "Hello. ls there a problem?" "It's OK, Filippo. lt's my problem." "Don't get involved." "No, it's my problem too." "You are sitting in our seats." "I'm not. I'm sitting in my seat." "And this gentleman is sitting in that seat." " Maybe we've got the wrong seats." " Filippo, keep out of it!" "Sit down!" "Excuse me." "Let's go and find a ticket inspector and ask him." "These are our seats." "Listen, I don't want to get angry, but there are rules." "On my ticket it says 51 and 52." "Let me see your ticket... I'm not letting you see my ticket." "Got it?" "You're not going to see it." " Don't be so uppity." " l'm not being uppity." "Yes, you are. lf you show me your ticket, we'll sort it out." "I don't care." "You sort it out." "Go and find another seat." "I'm not going anywhere." "The train's full..." " Let me see." " Filippo, keep out of it!" "Pour me some water." "I don't feel very well." "I've had enough of this!" "Let's ask the inspector." " There's no need to shout." " l'm not shouting." "We've got a problem." "We've got tickets for seats 51 and 52, but the lady won't let us sit there." " Let's see." " Yes, that's reserved." "Yes, you're right." "Madam, could I see your ticket, please?" "Sorry." "Madam, this is first class." "You've got second-class tickets." "Look, I'm not feeling very well, as you can see." "I'm not very well at all, so leave me in peace." "Second class, first class, I don't care." " But that's no way to behave." " We've got a right one here." " Where are you going?" " Rome." "OK, I think I can sort it out." "Madam, come with me." "I'll find you another carriage." "It's OK, come with me." "There's an empty carriage." "It's reserved from ChiusiChianciano Terme, but it's empty until then." "Here you go." "All yours." "Thank you." "It didn't turn out to be such a bad day after all, did it?" "Excuse me." "It's hot today, isn't it?" "What are you listening to?" "Pop music." "Pop music?" "Can I have a listen?" " lt's good." " Thanks." "It's nice." "Here." "Francesca gave me this CD." "I don't remember you." "Are you from Bracciano?" "Yes, we're from Bracciano and we know you very well." "I don't remember you." "Well, it's cos..." "I was very young when I met you and you were interested in the older girls, not the young ones like me." " Like who?" " Like Monica." " Monica who?" " Monica Donati, your girlfriend." " You know Monica?" " Yes." "And I know other people that you know." "Like Francesca." " Francesca who?" " Francesca D'Antoni." " You know my sister?" " Yeah." "We're the same age." " How old are you?" " 1 4." "My birthday's on April 25th and hers is on the 1 5th." " ls she as tall as you are?" " Yeah, more or less." "More or less as tall as you?" "We're really good friends." "Can I ask you a personal question?" "What about?" "Have you got a boyfriend?" "I can't really answer your question." "But I need to tell you something very important." "Francesca was really upset that you didn't come to Bracciano when your dad died." " l phoned." " Two months later. lt's a bit late." " Filippo!" " l didn't find out till late." " Filippo!" " Yes?" "I've been calling you for ages." "I didn't hear you." "I'm not going to shout ten times every time I need you." "I couldn't hear you over the noise of the train." "But I'm here now." "What can I do for you?" "I can't remember what I wanted to ask you." "You've made me forget." "Go on, off you go." "But don't go too far away." "I can't keep on shouting for you." "Where were we?" " Do you knowwhat Monica's up to?" " Yeah." "is she still living in Bracciano?" "She's still based in Bracciano but she works in Rome, in a hospital." " What does she do?" " She's a dentist." "A dentist?" "Do you see her?" "Once a month, yeah, to get my brace checked." " Has she still got long hair?" " No, she's had it cut." "I saw her the other week and I told her a story about the two of you that made her laugh." "Oh, yeah?" "Tell me the story." "But I'm not going to promise to laugh." "So what's the point of me telling you?" "Because it's a story about me, something for me to remember." "Go on." "Tell me." "OK, about four or five years ago, when you still lived in Bracciano, all of us kids were hanging out in the square..." "Do you remember... the one with the statue in the middle?" "Yeah, I remember." "You and Monica were there." "You asked us ifwe wanted to play hide and seek." "So we all hid and I went..." "I don't know if you remember, but round the edges of the square there are ditches with water pipes in them." "I went down there and hid in a pipe." "My T-shirt got all wet and I was really cold." "I stayed in there for ages, till the sun went down." "Nobody found me." "Then I went back into the square to see where you and Monica had got to." "You were on a bench." "I didn't really understand what you were doing, and I was quite cross..." "But now that I understand..." "What?" "What were we doing?" "You were kissing and cuddling." "You told us to go away." "That was bad of me." "But at least that way you learned how you get rid of people." "We don't hang around in that square any more." "What do you do when you all meet up?" "I don't know, really..." "We send each other texts, play on the PlayStation, su the internet..." " Filippo!" " Yes?" "Yes?" "I don't knowwhat you're talking about with that girl and I don't want to know." "It's your business." "I'm not interested in your private life." "But I'm not going to make myself hoarse shouting like this." "When I call you, you've got to come at once." "Yes." "I'm here." "What's wrong?" "I want a coffee." "OK, I'll get you one." " ls it a nice place?" " Beautiful." "There are two lakes!" " Hello." " Hello." "Can I have a coffee?" " The Chianti region begins there." " Excellent wine, then!" "Yes. lt's right in the Chianti area." "Listen, I'm sorry about before." "It doesn't matter." "It's a shame, but when women get to a certain age, they get a bit difficult." "It's up to you to apologise for her!" "They're difficult when they're young too." "It's the price we have to pay." "They're all difficult." " There you are." " Thank you." "My mother's like that too." "That lady's not my mother." "But she doesn't look like..." "your grandmother." "No, she's not my mother or my grandmother." "I think she's his lover!" "So you're... I'm doing my community service." "Aren't you a bit old for that?" "How old are you?" "25." "He wanted to escape the corporals and found the general's wife!" "I think he did very well." "The lady seems healthy enough." "Why are you looking after her?" "She was married to a general in the army." "Was?" "So she's not any more?" "He's dead." "Died about a year ago." "We're going to his memorial service." "Can I have another one to take away, please?" " Thank you." " You're welcome." " Why are you laughing?" " Wait a second." "I just got a text." "What does it say?" " lt's a joke." " Read it out." "Two balloons in the desert, one says to the other, "Watch out for the cactusssss." "What cactusssss?"" "Filippo!" "Yes?" "Help me get dressed." "We'll be there soon." "Come in." "Close the door." "OK, get that bag down for me." "You have to be careful with skirts like this." "Don't crease it." "Skirt..." "Leave it." "I'm not going to put myjacket on." "Take the jacket." "I have to tell you how to do everything, don't I?" "Give me a hand." "Don't mess my hair up." "You're not very well trained." "Leave it." "You've got to do what I tell you, OK?" "Do what I tell you." "No, you're not doing it properly." "You're too slow." " l'm being careful." " You're not being careful." "Help me." "My head goes in there." "Lift that up." "Lift it up." "I need to put my head in there." "Filippo!" "Like that." "Let me get out!" "Pull that down!" "Pull it down!" "Let's do it slowly." "You're sweating." "Oh, God." "You've had a nice life." "From getting up at four in the morning to waking up at midday, any time you want." "Cushy little number." "Undo my skirt." "I got up at four in the morning when I was working." "You're still working!" "You're working for me." "So do what I tell you." "I am doing what you tell me." "We travel in first class." "Nice life." "That's my business." "Don't criticise me." "I'm not criticising you." "Gently!" " You caught my skin." " No, I didn't." "I need the patience of a saint." "I've had enough." "You're so clumsy." "You're only good at chatting, going out and pleasing yourself." "Why are you always having a go at me?" "I don't get it." "I'm not having a go at you." "I'm telling you the truth." "It's not done up properly." "It doesn't matter." "Leave it. lt doesn't matter." "Nice life." "You're in heaven here, aren't you?" " This is heaven?" " Yes, this is heaven for you." " And you're an angel?" " l'm the Virgin Mary." " You're what?" " Don't use that tone with me!" "Well, I prefer hell!" "Let me go!" "Let go of my rucksack!" " Let go!" " Filippo!" "Go and get him, will you?" "Go and get him." "I haven't got my shoes on." "Filippo!" "Come on, open the door." "Come out of there." "We've got to get off soon." "You know how much this service means to me." "Come on." "We don't need to talk about it." "I'm not angry any more." "Come on, Filippo." "One moment!" "Hello?" "Yes?" "I can hear you." "Hi." "What's up?" "Yeah, yeah." "No, I'm on a trip. I left this morning." " Are you all right?" " Yes." "Are you sure?" "Do you need any help?" "Are you sure?" "Yes, thank you." "Attention, please." "We are arriving at Chiusi." "Attention, please." "We are arriving at Chiusi." "This is ChiusiChianciano Terme." "There's no one there." "Has the young man got off?" "I could do with some help, if you don't mind." " Fuck's sake, what kept you, man?" " Hush, man." "You've been in there for fucking ages." "Fuck's sake!" " Here y'are." " Nightmare!" "I'm dying of thirst here, man." " lt's nice and cold." " lt's that fizzy pish." "I asked for natural." "Oh, fucking hell!" " All right, lads." " All right, mate." "I feel better." "That was a good wee wash." "Wee bit peckish." "See what's in here." "Cheese salad?" "Fuck's sake, man!" "This is shite!" "Hummus with mango?" "Fucking hell, man!" "Will one of you swap this for a chicken?" "Fuck off, man." "Fuck off!" "It's your own fault for eating all the chicken ones, you fat bastard." "What did I say to you?" " Don't waste them." " Shouting at me, that's shocking!" " Beckham." " Becks." "Golden Balls." "Beckham, come here." " Do you want a sarnie?" " Aye, you!" " Sandwich." " For me?" " For you." " Thanks." "How you doing?" " Are you from Manchester?" " No, no." " Where are you from?" " Where are you from?" " From Albania." " Albania?" "We're from Scotland." "Scotland." "The Brave." "You, you heading to Rome?" " Yes." " Yes." "You, you live in Rome?" " No." " No?" " Are you on holiday?" " No, no." " So, why are you going to Rome?" " l'm going to my father." "Ah, your father." "Hey, you like?" "We work in a supermarket in Scotland." " Asda." " So, man, we've got loads, man." "Fucking fire in." "Why did you come with the train from Scotland?" "It's a long way." "Spaceman here is scared of flying." "He's a shitebag." "He's chicken." "Fuck's sake." "You don't need to tell every cunt." "It's just I've got a vivid imagination." "I'm concerned about the pollution that the aviation industry causes." " A lot of pish!" " They fucking never mention that!" "You fucking never mention that, do you?" "This cunt won't go up a ladder without a parachute, man!" "He's a pishing shitebag, man!" " You speak good English." " Yes." "Do you learn that in school?" "Yes, at school and football games on TV." " Oh, right, man." " Cool." "A wee soccer fan." "We're going to Rome to watch the football." "Celtic." "The Champions League." "Roma." "Celtic v Roma." "Champions League."

"Come on, the Hoops!" "Hey!" "My lunch is in there!" "That's really stupid, leaving your bag on the floor there." "Watch where you're bloody going, man!" "You leave your bag..." "You fucking stood on my bag!" "Look where you're going." "Calm." "Silence." "The train is full of people." "I could go to hospital." "I could break the leg." "The train's full of people but you're the only one who stood on it!" "Sorry." "Sorry." "Ciao!" "Ciao!" "All the best!" "Prick." " lt's all right, mate." " See you again, wee man." " Thanks for the sandwich, guys." " No bother, man." "All the best." "See you later." " Henrik Larsson, guys!" " Yeah!" "Henrik Larsson!" "Henrik Larsson!" "Henrik Larsson is the king of kings!" "No way, man!" " What?" " She's sharing out that sandwich." "I'll be back in two minutes, right?" "Hello." "How are you feeling?" "Are you OK?" "Yeah." "Would you like a sandwich?" "For you." " Thank you." " No problem." "There you go." " One for you." " Thank you." "No problem." "No problem." "Present from the Celtic fans." "From us to you." " Enjoy." "Bye." " Bye." " Thank you."

"I'm not the one who fucking lost my ticket!" "We need the kitty!" "We've got fuck all else!" "Can't get home in these." "Give me your ticket." "Boys, you have the ticket?" "We can't find it." "Can you give us five minutes?" " Do you have money?" " Can you come back?" " Can you give us more time?" " Sorry, it's not my responsibility." "I will call the police and we'll wait at Roma Termini." "We are reaching Roma Termini and the police will wait for you." " Why are you phoning the police?" " You don't move." "You stay here.

" Fucking watch what you're doing." "Please, I can explain." "Please." "Please!" "Wait a second, please." "I will jump from the train." "Please let me say the truth." "Please." "Don't do this." "My father is waiting at the station in Rome for us." "He's never seen the baby." "Can you understand me?" " Don't do it, please." " lt's not our problem." "Also, my father came here two and a half years ago." "He borrowed one thousand and five hundred dollars to come here." "He came by boat on the sea." "Can you understand me?" "Happened an accident." "And some of the people who were there drowned." "Jamesy, don't fucking listen to her." "All you do is fucking talk." "Can you shut up for two minutes?" " l was right last time, wasn't I?" " Shut up for two fucking minutes." " Just be quiet." " Please." "He work hard here and send us money." "He kept us." "And he promised us to bring here - we, we." "We sold everything there, everything!" "But he promised us not to bring us here with a boat, you know, on the sea, but with a truck." "And we voyage in the truck for two days." " l can't take this, all right?" " Please, please!" " Shut up." " Let me finish." "We've got to just forget her?" " Please!" " This has nothing to do with you." "When he came there, I don't knowwhy... the man that were there said to us that we are in Rome, but we weren't!" "And my mum had to sell the rings." "And we bought the tickets." "We hadn't enough money to buy four, but we bought only three." "You'll spoil it for all of us if you get involved." " lt's my ticket!" " l don't care if it is!" "We're your best pals, all right?" "You came with us, not them." "Somebody must have spilt something." "My fucking sock's wringing." "Cheers, mate." "What did you want me to do, let herjump off the train?" "Do you think she was gonna jump, honestly?" " Did she look as if she was lying?" " Shut up." "Here, lads, I've read about fucking refugees, man." "Fucking used and abused, then fucking dumped anywhere." "You hear about it all the time." "You hear about them suffocating in trucks, drowning on boats." "Not stealing tickets and fucking up your football match." "If you were her... lf it was my fucking family in that position, I'd steal a ticket." "I'd fucking steal it." "So would you and so would you." "So don't give me any of that pish, Frank, man." "Do what you want." "I can't believe you're walking away from this." "What do you want me to do?" "We're here to watch a fucking game, not to look after refugees." "Fuck the game!" "A fucking game!" "Her dad's fucking mates died." "They fucking died, man." "Do you know that?" "I can't walk away from it, man." "Excuse me." "Excuse me, boys." "I just got this copybook." "And you write your address here." " And I will send the money." " Can you give us two minutes?" " All right?" " OK." "Thank you." "Thank you." "A wee pen pal." "She has better fucking English than us." "Maybe all of this is cock and bull, man." "But then again, man, maybe it's not." "Does her father really exist, man?" "Would you turn up at the station?" "I don't think you would." "Where the fuck did she learn English?" "That not set the alarm bell ringing?" "Maybe they're part of the al-Qaeda, man, planning a secret attack on the fucking Vatican." "And you're away up there fucking giving them your name and address." "You'll be fucking off to Guanatan..." "GuantÃ¡namo, in an orange tracksuit and a fucking pair of goggles." "You'll miss the whole season, man." "Your problem is you don't think things through." "Your problem is you talk shite!" "What the fuck are you on about?" "Do you think they'll have tellies in the police station?" " Why?" " So you can watch the game." "Shut up, the both of you, eh?" "Fucking nutcase!" "It's up to you, mate." "I can't do this, man." "He's fucking right, man." "What if I'm in the jail longer than a fucking night?" "I'll lose my fucking job, never mind the game." "You were right about the ticket." "Believe us again, then, Jamesy, all right?" "My mum'll fucking freak out." "We've planned this for months as well, lads." "We'll never get this chance again." "There's fucking hundreds of refugees." "We're only fucking three supermarket workers." "We can't fucking look after them all." "Fuck!" "I can't. I can't do it." "You're right. I can't do it." "Look, there's something I need to say to you." "I'm sorry, but I can't handle this." "You're gonna need to tell the guard what happened cos l've got a job to think about." "If I go to jail, I could lose myjob." "I just can't do that." "If I had the money, I'd give you the money." "I can't understand you." "I can't take responsibility for your family, all right?" "I don't even knowwho you are or if you're telling me the truth." "You'll have to tell the guard." "I'm just a punter going to a game." "What Jamesy's trying to say is..." "You don't know how much we'd like to give you the ticket, but we can't." "We came to go to a game." "We didn't foresee this." "I'm sorry, but we just cannot give you the ticket." "Ifwe had the money, we'd give you the money." "It's not as ifwere doing you..." "Just take my ticket, all right?" "Just take it before I change my mind!" "Just take the ticket, please." " What the fuck are you doing?" " Just take the ticket." "What are you doing?" "Lads, I'm sorry, all right?" " Fuck's sake, what are you doing?" " What the fuck?" "Thank you!" "Thank you!" "I hope you will win your game, guys." "The police is coming soon." "Lads, she was telling the truth." "There's the dad." " We'll wait over there." "Wait over there." " All right!" "Calm down." "The police is coming right now, in a minute." "I know you might not believe me but my mate just gave a poor family his ticket, from the Third World." "That's typical of us Celtic fans, known for our spirit of friendliness." "Fuck's sake, we even get awarded the best fans!" " Travelling fans." " UEFA, man." "Seville - 80,000 Celtic fans - not one arrest." " Not one arrest." " We hold the record for good behaviour." "Ambassadors of sport, that's what we are." "And, by the way, is this how you fucking treat VlPs?" "We got a load of sandwiches." "Take the sandwiches and let him go." "Does your wife like cheese-and-onion sandwiches?" "I bet these fucking clowns haven't farted out of line in their life." "Hello." "Where are you?" "Who told you Platform 1 2?" "We're on Platform 1." "Give me some of that." "I'm dying of thirst." "You're driving me mad." "We're illegally holding two foreigners." "We'll get reported, and then you'll come and arrest us." "I told you Platform 1... I told you, for fuck's sake." "They've escaped." "It's just down there!" "Go that way!" "Come on!" " Excuse me." " Move!" " Sorry, sorry, sorry." " For goodness' sake!" "Lads, come on, the game!" "The game!" "The game!" "The game!" "Where's the game?" "Come on!" "Run!" "Hail, hail, the Celts are here!" "What the hell do we care?" "What the hell do we care?" "We don't care what the animals say" "What the hell do we care?" "Thanks!" "Roma!" "Roma!" "Roma!"
