"It didn't mean anything." "You didn't slap his face?" "Why should I?" "Because!" "And if it was me, if I'd kissed you, what would you've said?" "You?" "You...that's not the same." "Suppose I kissed you now." "Suppose." "Nothing to say?" "Nothing to say..." "It's..." "It's cool, you know.." "Your mother'll be worrying." "You gotta go." "I gotta sell my rags." "I'm broke."

"You weren't very nice to Dicky the other evening..." "Him?" "You didn't need to be so violent." "He's a boxer." "No need to be jealous." "That's just what I wanted to see you about." "So there's no misunderstanding." "I'll smash his face in." "You better start eating plenty of red meat." "Don't worry..." "he's gonna get a walloping!" "But i wanted to tell you..." "When he comes in pieces ...it won't be because of you,.." "It won't?" "No." "I'll smash his face in 'cause he's a phoney chicken-shit." "It's not jealousy." "I have had a bit of a crush on you... that's to be expected..." "You're pretty hot." "Thanks very much!" "But it wouldn't work..." "we're different generations." "Now you're Mr Nice Guy!" "Did I bother you?" "Didn't mean to." "I don't hold it against you." "There's a chance!" "I'm happy though..." "You're happy?" "I'm in love." "A girl who's very much into hair!" "It's good to talk to someone about it." "It's crazy it should be you!" "You don't hold it against me?" "Why would I?" "Take advantage of her fast, you fool!" "Why "fool"?" "." "You were young once..." "That's it!" "What's up?" "You hurt yourself?" "It's OK." "Training go well today?" "Making progress?" "Well..." "I didn't go." "And you didn't go yesterday."

"We both work with the same subjects." "He sculpts and I paint." "We want to do a young Narcissus." "We need a model...you're ideal!" "You're paid by the hour." "That's the rule." "You'll do my phiz?" "Your head...your whole body..." "In the nude?" "Of course... it's Narcissus!" "Peanuts!" "What do you mean?" "Less than peanuts!" "You're full of prejudice." "Going in the nude is disgusting!" "Foreigners would be coming to see my backside at the museum!" "I'm not going." "Listen..." "I won't change my mind." "No is no." "Should you change your mind here's Mr Polo's card." "Such a nice man..." "Here's the solution to every housewife's problem." "The 5 hour question that haunts every woman." "What creamy dessert to make?" "Here is the answer." "Rapido Dessert." "With Rapido, no need for milk, butter or eggs..." "All unnecessary!" "Take a sachet of Rapido  pour it into a bowl dilute with water put in in the refrigerator and 20 minutes later you have the perfect delicious creamy dessert!" "2 servings for 2 new francs!" "Packet of 5, or 10 or 20?" "." "I don't have a fridge." "The solution to every housewife's problem!" "Hi, is that thing happening soon?" "Next month." "The sponsor's promised me." "Next month?" "If you like, we could go out one night together." "Go to the movies...take a cab..." "I don't go out at night." "How about Sunday afternoon?" "I've promised somebody else." "Who, George?" "He's not worth it." "Here he is..." "Jojo the Terror." "See you sweetie!" "What's he want with you?" "He's always pestering me." "He's a bastard." "Really?" "He doesn't know what's coming!" "I was wondering who I could hear talking." "How are things Jo?" "Fantastic." "Something smells good!" "Come and "mangiare" something with us." "No thanks." "I've got what I need." "See you tomorrow." "Ciao!" "He's taking me to the movies tomorrow." "It's Sunday tomorrow!" "Everyone's asleep." "They've done the funfair, now they're all asleep." "They've done their dough by the bucketful!" "The bastards..." "I gotta find me a thou'." "What's up?" "Are we on fire?" "Mr Polo did say to you he just wanted my face?" "You'll do it?" "All right." "At the proper model rate?" "Of course." "Get dressed." "We gotta go." "I have to tell Mr Polo first." "Tomorrow, if you want." "That'll be too late." "This afternoon maybe." "Gotta finish by 4." "I've got a date." "Not enough time for a bust of Narcissus." "This is Jojo's first time posing." "When he comes to appreciate art he'll get it all off." "No way!" "I'm not doing it, I said." "This is ridiculous!" "It's hot...open the window." "He'll catch cold." "You've moved, you naughty boy!" "He's all wet!" "Oh, such pretty sweat, so shiny and delicate...!" "Just like a dew." "You're tickling me!" "We don't want your head to be dropping down." "You know who Narcissus is?" "I'm not Narcissus, I'm George!" "Jojo, you're sitting on the river bank and you see your own reflection in the water." ""What a handsome young man!" "That's me!"" "Happy now?" "No." "Mama!" "Chè?" "I'm bored." "That's easy..." "you can do the dishes." "Let him sleep." "He's tired..." "Why?" "Is it tiring being a hairdresser?" "The poor thing has to stand all day and chatter all day with women whose heads are full of nonsense." "Tell me Mama..." "Were you in love when you got married?" "Why else would I have married him?" "He was so handsome." "He's still not bad." "What time is it?" "Three o'clock." "It's not 4 yet is it?" "It's no more than 3.30" "That's enough." "I'm off." "What a shame..." "I was just getting the shoulder right." "Same time tomorrow?" "Alright Polo?" "Later." "We'll start at 3." "Who pays?" "..." "you or him?" "Him." "Cash please." "I pay you after 6 sessions." "That's the way it works." "What?" "!" "I need my dough now!" "If we paid our modes straight away they'd never come back!" "Forget the tricks..." "I want my money!" "Give him something in advance, Polo." "No!" "He has to learn the proper way." "Jojo, my boy..." ""Jojo your boy?" If he's yours, you fix him up!" "This is getting very annoying!" "You're a pig!" "You two are like a pair of smelly old slippers!" "You're not paying so I'm not posing." "I'll rub it out!" "Jojo, wait..." "what are you doing..." "Jojo!" "You hooligan!" "Nice friend you have!" "Bastards!" "This is it!" "I got the deal!" "I was expecting it the other day, ...but I didn't dare mention it." "That's it?" "So much the better." "At first it'll be hard." "Lack of funds." "But I've got my foot in the door!" "Not much, but it's a start." "I start from here." "Zero." "Clients : zero." "In one month : 100." "In a year : 2000!" "And so on like a rocket!" "Can you do me a favour?" "Of course George." "It's a promise." "In the next few days." "No right now." "I need a thou'." "So I can pay for a movie and ice-cream." "Who with?" "Marietta, the little wop." "So now it's Marietta?" "You can't be serious!" "Be like me..." "throw yourself into your work." "Can you lend me or not?" "I would, but I've rented a vehicle so I can move." "What sort of vehicle?" "A handcart." "OK then..." "I'll try somewhere else." "Jojo...it's me!" "Jojo...aren't you there?" "He just went out." "We had a rendezvous!" "He had to go on an errand." "Oh..." "I'm not going to wait for him all afternoon!" "It's me...you can open." "She gone?" "She had her nose out of joint." "Listen..." "Girls have to be broken in!" "I'm not running after her." "Haven't you been to see the doctor?" "Yes, I've been to see the doctor." "What'd he tell you?" "He said to me:" ""You've got to get your spirits up" ".."you need distraction, get out and have a laugh..."" "Hi." "Ah, Joe the Terror." "How's it going?" "How's your father?" "He's fine." "He's taking a trip." "Oh yeah?" "Until he gets back could you lend me a thou'?" "A thou?" "Out of your mind!" "Where would I get hold of a thousand?" "If I had it, I wouldn't be sitting here." "It doesn't matter." "Thanks all the same." "'Bye Mr Arthur." "'Bye." "Hey..." "Terror!" "I'll buy you a crust." "You're probably famished." "No way I'm eating with you." "I'm a nice guy, but I don't ask twice." "Shove your invitation." "Are you coming in?" "You're letting the draught in." "Is there a draught up your trousers?" "Coming in?" "Eating with you'd give me indigestion." "Still the same filthy little brat." "Not like you." "You're all bullshit." "You dress up like some champ." "But you live off a girl." "Loser!" "One of these days I'll smash your pretty face in!" "You can't any more." "You're too fat." "Listen, I'll make you an offer." "I'll forget the past on one condition." "Oh yeah?" "Lend me a thou' and I'll pay you back Thursday." "And I won't beat you up." "Thousand francs?" "C'mon!" "So..." "You kiss my ring." "You're so keen to eat?" "I don't give a fuck about eating..." "if it was the last place on earth..." "You think like your mouth." "My mouth's had to live on air." "It remembers." "You want some dough?" "There you are." "Pick it up." "Loser!" "Two new fives?" "There they are." "Go on, fuck you..." "pick 'em up!" "Loser." "Loser." "Miserable bum." "You want dough?" "There you are..." "Whadda you waiting for?" "Is your corset too tight?" "Help yourself old fella." "The gent's lost his marbles!" "Filthy brat, I hope you die." "It doesn't often rain like this!" "He must be nuts, is he?" "He's a fat slob." "You open for me?" "You're here." "Looks like it." "We just got back." "We're closed Sundays had a bit of a walk." "So, how's things?" "It's nice for this time of year." "Do you want you sit down?" "I haven't got time." "I'm only here because I need some dough." "Dough?" "What dough?" "Some dough!" "I've never asked before, but now I need it." "Are you a father or a wimp?" "That's not hard." "It's easy to need money!" "But it's not so easy to earn money!" "I won't be giving you money every day!" "Understand?" "This is the first and last time." "If you give any money to this hooligan, I'm leaving now." "You won't see me again." "What?" "You heard me." "After all..." "he's my son!" "I've warned you." "Do as you wish." "God almighty!" "So I still can't!" "Maybe he's hungry!" "He didn't give it to me..." "I pinched it!" "Thanks all the same!" "He robbed us!" "Filthy hooligan!" "Go to the police station right away!" "Move!" "If he came and stabbed you, you'd say thank you." "Are you a man or a mouse?" "Wanna go to the movies?" "It's too late." "It's continuous." "That doesn't make any difference." "What you wanna do then?" "I don't feel like anything." "What's up with you?" "Nothing..." "I'm bored." "I know what you need." "That feel better?" "Who do you think you are?" "What, Jojo?" "Forget that kid!" "Bastards!" "The bastards!" "Bastards!" "They're all bastards!" "I'll get back at them!" "It's Jojo!" "What is it?" "There's a madman on the roof!" "Jojo!" "What's going on?" "Jojo!" "You wild bugger!" "Aren't you finished?" "You're totally mad!" "That's worth a fortune!" "Jojo, stop!" "What's got into you?" "Don't come close or I'll smash you face in!" "You all give me the shits!" "All of you." "There's nothing but bastards everywhere!" "If you come any closer I'll jump!" "Listen, Jojo..." "George!" "George, are you a man or what?" "Stop or I let go." "Don't be childish." "She's a bitch!" "Why?" "She's a bitch!" "They're all bitches!" "Bitches!" "No George...they're girls." "I'm sick of them!" "You at least have been decent." "I won't forget you." "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "George!" "My little George..." "It's me...your father." "Go away!" "I came to find you." "I've thrown her out!"
