"You look so tired." "So, don't damage my stuff." "I'm very fond of it." "I grew up in this bedroom, you know?" "What were you saying?" "I grew up in this bedroom." "I used to sleep where you're sleeping now." "You know?" " Do you have a cigarette?" " I have many." "I'll take this, okay?" "Can I take it?" "Or you're short of it?" "No, it's okay." " Today, I want to smoke all day long." " Oh, yeah?" "I want to smoke as much as I like." "I enjoy it." "It's relaxing." "I'll just lay down here and smoke." "I'm starting to work at the kindergarten." "It's my first day." "I'm teaching." " Good luck." " You don't care." "Francesca, you can't be allergic to kindergarten." "I've never heard of a girl who's allergic to kindergarten." "Hey." "Good morning." "How are you?" "Huh?" "I've got a house like this, too." "With a cat." "Actually, like this one here." "They're nice." "With a red roof." "And then, there's a chimney from which white smoke puffs out." "Why don't you come to my place, huh?" "Yes?" "Do you want to go?" "Would you like to stay with me at my place?" "So why don't you answer me?" "You can't talk?" "I mean, you're a grown-up." "Or you don't want to talk?" "Tell me the truth." "You don't want to." "Well, I mean, it's not at all wrong." "See you, Mister...?" "You won't say good-bye?" "Oh, yeah." "You don't speak." "With your hand." "He's waving to me." "Bye." " Good morning." " Good morning." "How are you?" "I'm your new schoolmistress." "Schoolmaster." " Uh?" " Schoolmaster." " Why?" " Because you're a man." "Yes, I'm a man." "Let's hope so." "What are you doing?" " We're pasting some leaves." " Oh, how nice." " It's fall?" " Yes." " They look nice." " Are you going inside?" "Inside what?" " Inside the picture?" " Yes." " How am I to do that?" " Just push." "Like this?" "With my head?" "No!" " With your body." " With my body." " Wow, there are even animals." " Yes." "This squirrel is too big." "Let's not paste it, then." " What's your name?" " I'm Lara." " I'm Chiara." " And I'm Roberto." "I'm the new schoolmist..." "Master." "And I'm a man." "Sit down and wait now." "The new teacher is coming, okay?" "My name is Roberto." "What's your name?" "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "What's your name?" "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "My dear little kids." "I'm your teacher, even by night." "Teacher by night." "Teacher la nuit." "Is anyone here?" "Hey, stay still!" "The tape recorder, be careful!" "There was a garden and in the middle of it..." "There was a dead man." "But since..." "Since..." "Since he was dead, they took him out of the thing." "They were hard, the bones." "They left him lying there." "He was my friend." "He always gave me candy." "But he's not dead, though." "No, because dreams are like that." "I saw it." "When they buried my Mom under the ground." "I saw it." "I need to poop!" "I want to make a phone call." "Farter!" "Have you noticed that I put on a bit of paunch?" "Do you like my paunch, Michela?" " What color are his eyes?" " Blue." " And the legs?" " Red." " And the neck?" " Green." "Then he's a Martian." "Look." "He's a Martian." "He's got long hair." "So he's the son of Michela and me, okay?" "Yes." " Good morning!" "Good morning." " Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Today, I wasn't going to come because..." "Because I'm pregnant." " I want two." " I want three." "I want one." "Easy, you might hurt me." "Easy." "How much hair he's got?" "Does he have any hair?" " Three!" " Three hairs?" " It's a male." " It's a male?" "Stop it." "Stop it." "That's my willy." "Miscarried and castrated." "Stop it." " They don't give birth." " Who?" "What?" "Kids, seriously." "I'm pregnant, I'm sick." "And I wanted to talk about it." " Because I'm going to give birth." " That's not true!" "Because we are the only ones who can give birth." " Who?" " Us." " You?" " Yes." " And what about my Mom?" " Yes." "Why?" "Because she's a woman, and you're a man." " And I'm a man who can give birth." " No!" " I feel I have a baby inside me." " No, you jerk!" "You know how many times it happens?" "If a man feels a baby inside him, he delivers." "If a woman feels it, she delivers." "If a man feels it, he delivers." "If an old man feels it, he..." "You idiot!" "You don't understand anything." "Idiot?" "I'm the teacher." "Don't push the pregnant man." "Don't push the pregnant man." "You'll hurt me." "Easy." "You're a liar!" "You're a liar!" "No!" "Easy!" "I'm pregnant!" "It's dangerous!" "Can't you see I'm pregnant?" "Go away!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "Roberto, I have to tell you my idea." "I'll wait." "I was thinking, if I'm alone here all day long," "I wanted to work with you at night." "Because the kids are very nice." " The kids are nice?" " Yes." "They attack you." "They bite you, scratch you, they tear off..." "Come on, kids are just a little lively." "Lively?" "And what would you like to do?" " I can be the entertainer." " Let's make an example." "Tomorrow, I go to the kindergarten..." "After all that's happened." "I get there, and I say:" ""Good morning." "This is the new entertainer."" "Nice to meet you." "I'm Luca." "Luca." "It makes me laugh." "But if you were introduced to me, I would say..." "We can do many wonderful things." "I wasn't able to." "Because I was very late." "I like this." "Good idea." "It's one of the exercises that..." "It looks easy." "But I mean, it's not very diff..." "I mean, it's really difficult." " Let me see, with your feet." " Hold on." "Oh, my God." "So tomorrow I should say, "This is the new entertainer."" "Show them some theories of entertainment." "It looks easy, but..." "It looks delicious." "I thought it tasted worse." "Look at this spaghetti I have here." "Freshly cooked." "It's delicious." "I made a great sauce." "Come on." "Oh, Luca." "Take a dish." "You see?" "He's always overhearing." "You heard that his name was Luca, eh?" " I heard you calling, "Luca, Luca."" " The fork." "Luca, Luca." " I'm sorry." " Thank you." "Have you met him?" "He's a friend of mine." "He's a bachelor." "He's staying here." "He does avant-garde theatre." " Luca, do you know who he is?" " Oh, Luca." "What do you do?" "Oh, Luca." "Oh, Luca." "Luca is the new entertainer." "You're an entertainer?" "What a great teacher you are." "You trust him?" " Can't you see he's different?" " What?" "He's different." "It's obvious." "Our Luca the Magnificent brought us an extraordinary surprise." " He's got a TV." " Good!" "You guessed right." "He brought you a TV as a gift." "It was his idea." "The famous "Window on the World" that we can all watch together now." " Do you like it?" " Yes." "If you want to watch TV, put your chairs in the front row as quickly as you can." "Easy, easy." "And if you don't like it, you can stay where you're at." "Here we go!" "Look." "This is a technical device, my dear kids." "There are different things to evaluate." "The image, what you're seeing, and the sound." "How nice!" "Look at that." "Do you like my idea to bring a TV here?" "Really?" "Where are you going?" "Kids?" "We have to work." "Hey!" "Watch it, you'll get hurt." "Easy." "Easy!" "You'll get hurt!" "Easy." "Just a few of you, just a few." "Not everyone." "Stop." "It's sold out." "Go that way." "Halt." "Halt." "It's sold out, sold out." "Stop." "Stop." "It's sold out." "Stop." "Stop." "If you want to get in..." "Be quiet!" "If you want to get in, at your own risk." "I'm saying this because I have to." "Television disintegrates the body and cheers up the soul." "Or the other way around." "Hi." "Sold out!" "Sold out!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "It's sold out." "Go back to class." "Come back at 10:30." "Box office." "Sold out." "Look how far we had to go to find a donkey." "What if he kicks the kids?" "Why would he kick the kids?" "Kids love donkeys." "Are you sure they love donkeys?" "Maybe it's the donkey who doesn't like kids." "Kids should learn about animals." " So, you've never even seen a lion?" " I've only seen..." "Easy." "You're scaring him already." "Be quiet over there!" "Ready?" "Kids!" "We have a donkey this morning." "We'll just leave it here." "He's a fellow of the kindergarten, okay?" "You can sing him a song or shave him... you can do whatever you want with him, okay?" "See you later." "Just leave it here." "Shave him." "The donkey is a real brainwave." "Look at that." "They seem to get along fine." "The kids and the donkey, huh?" "Can he be dangerous?" " He's not dangerous." " He's an innovation." "It's a great idea." " I always have brilliant ideas." " But it was my idea." "What do you mean?" " It was our idea, let's say." " Okay." "Are you excited or not about this donkey?" "Yes." "Let's see how they react." "Be quiet." "Look." "The study begins." "The animals start studying each other." "They don't know each other." "Look." "Now they're smelling each other." "There comes the first one." "He's not dangerous, right?" "They shouldn't stay behind him." "The donkey is more scared than the kids." "The donkey is scared." "Don't move those legs!" "He's eating fleas!" "He's eating fleas!" "There comes the first one." "Are you excited, Luca?" "There comes the second one." "The third one." "There comes the fourth one." "It's not dangerous." "They love each other." "Don't stay behind it!" "They're smelling it." "They can smell his scent." "Who stinks the most, the donkey or the kid?" "The donkey." "Everybody is moving closer now." "What a chaos!" "What a chaos!" "What a great idea I had." "In just 20 seconds..." "Tomorrow we can try and bring another..." "No, this will do." "Good job, Luca." "Sometimes, you impress me." "You have brilliant ideas." "Good job, Luca." "Actually, I was curious to see how animals get along with kids." "I'm telling you." "It's as if it was my idea." "And you know why?" "Because in every book..." "I'll lend you some." "Psychologists say that the relationship with the animal..." "That's what you call it, "relationship."" "It's good for you." "Especially with the donkey." "So, the relationship with the donkey, or with animals, is healthy because it stimulates the kid's life, his liveliness and his spirit." "Good evening." "Is Montezuma here?" " There he is." " We know him." "They don't need to pay." "They're my guests." "I invited them." "They're my friends." " You look good." "Sexy." " Monteuma!" "How is it going?" "You're the main character." "You're sort of like South America's Hamlet." "All right." "The theatre is almost full." " There are old women, too." " I counted them." "There are already 22." "Is it a good play?" " It's a great play." " Do you have a nice role?" "Also, it's a topical, present-day play." "Because all the theatres this year are interested in Aztecan issues." " There's also..." " Hey, I have a very broad audience." "Let's go and see Montezuma." " Hey, Roberto." "You don't say hi?" " Oh!" "How are you?" " Good evening, Mr. Teacher." " How are you?" "Look who's here." "What are you doing here?" "I work here." " Do you know her?" "Hi." " Hi." " Irma." "This is..." " Isabella Conte." " Isabella, she's the mom of..." " Excuse me, guys." " The play starts in two minutes." " We're coming." " How nice." "Have you met?" " She's Michela's mom." " Michela's mom." " He told me about you." "And Michela always talks about you." "I'm glad she has a cute teacher." "Thank you." " I came here to see Montezuma." " She's right, you know?" " You have a cute, little face." " Me?" "No." "I'm just like this." "Well..." "You, too." "I'm really happy." "Well, I want to see the beginning, okay?" " I'm going inside." " Me, too." "Are you coming?" " I'm waiting for the last spectators." " Did you see it already?" " I'm going." "Bye." " Bye." " So, this is your job." " Yes, I sell books." "Really?" "I took a specific class on sales marketing." " Is it profitable?" " By day, I sell them door to door." "By night, I sell them here in the theatre." "Could you come over to my place and sell me a book tomorrow?" "All right." "Sorry for the inappropriate joke." "You know, Michela always talks about you." " Maybe she needs a father..." " She has one." "Well, of course she has one." "But does she have one at home, alive?" "No, he's gone." "L..." "I'm a man." "Let's drink..." "Hey, Roberto!" "Come, let's go get our seats." "Did you see it already?" " Did you see the play?" " No." " Come then." " We can talk later." "If you want, we can all go to my place later." "Is it starting?" " Montezuma!" "Montezuma!" " Here comes your friend." "May I?" "You're very sweet." "It was the year 1492." "When at the dawn of an autumn's day, from the sea, the white man came." "Oh, here he comes." "Come here." "Come." " Have you decided?" " You have to explain." "I didn't quite get what you meant before." "I'll explain right away." "I can leave if you'd rather stay with her, okay?" "Or the three of us can all stay together." "L..." "I already have a hard time in two." " All right." "I'm leaving then, okay?" " Don't push him." "Where are you going?" "What do you mean...?" "What do I mean?" "What a jerk you are." "Why?" "Did I say something that sounded ambiguous?" "You know what?" "Let's all go to sleep." "It's better that way." " Did I say something that...?" " No." "No." "We have to draw lots." "Why do you think he wants to stay with me?" " He didn't even breathe a word." " Huh?" "Hey, could you explain yourself?" "No, I really didn't get it." " Come on, stay here for a while." " Well, see you." "See you." "Enjoy yourself." "Give me the car keys." "No." "Look, if you're leaving, really, I..." "Come with me, then." "Let's go." " No, I mean, I'm staying." " Bye, Domen..." " Isabella." " Isabella." "Bye, Isabella." "I was calling you with my friend's name." " Why are you taking the spaghetti?" " You gave it to me." " Bye, Isabella." "With the spaghetti." " Bye." "I'm going home, and I'll cook some spaghetti with oil, garlic, and chili." " Bye." " Come whenever you want." "I like you." " Are you walking?" " Yes." "I'm taking a walk." "In the night." " Bye." " I'm sorry." "Why don't you stay?" "She left." " You're so awful." " Huh?" "That's funny." "She left." "I feel a little sorry about it." "Watch it, it's possible that she might walk back in." "What's the matter?" "I have an ambiguous stare?" "I always have it when I'm alone." "I felt like kissing you." "How old are we?" "Shored up knees." " May I help you with the right one?" " Good job." "Hey, why don't you show me your place?" "I haven't seen it yet." "Yes, dear." " This is the kitchen." " Nice." " The bedroom." " What's this?" " The queen-size bed." " Oh, the queen-size bed." " It's beautiful, really." " Do you like it?" "It's nice." "Let's see what the bed is like." "It's soft." "It's my Grandma's." "How much did you pay for it?" "I don't care." "You're so pretty." "I'd eat you alive." " Is she there?" " Yes." "She must be sleeping." "Can I go see her?" "Michela?" "I'm not a dream." "No." "I'm your teacher, Roberto." "I came here to see you tonight." "Michela?" " Bye." "Sleep well, please." " I'm not sleepy." " She's sleeping." " Of course, she's sleeping." "Yes." " The kids are sleeping." " Yes?" " Oh, my God." " You talk too much." "This is the thing." "I feel at ease, but for the kids, it might be dangerous." "Because..." "Because, I..." "I kind of shout, you know?" "When I'm having sex." "Well, it's completely natural." "Before, it was natural, but nowadays, it's not." "Before there were the noises of the woods." "The kids in the woods would hear the lion." "As it..." "The zebra." "So, together with the noise I make when I make love in the woods..." "Because I kind of sound like that." "Sometimes, I even give it a high-pitched shout." "When I climax, I sound like a horse." "How are you, Paolo?" "You've been here for a while?" "I didn't see you this morning." "The whole morning." "I'm at the toilet." "Oh, my." " What are you writing?" " I'm writing to your mom." "So you can give it to her tonight." "You'll say, "It's from a prince."" "Don't tell her I wrote it here, though." "Tell her I wrote it in a garden." "Give me your dish." "Enjoy your meal!" "Gianluigi, how are you?" "Aren't you eating?" " Does Gianluigi eat at home?" " No, he doesn't eat at all." "How come you're dealing with this problem just now?" " We tried, we tried everything." " Kids need to eat." "It's essential." " It's a matter..." " Yes, I know." "Come on, eat something." "Eat, Gianluigi." "It could be a very serious problem." "I think this child needs to be admitted to an institute." "An institute?" "Do you think it's really necessary?" " Why an institute?" " Yes." "An institute, because..." "At least to fix the problem of his nutrition." " So I can't do anything for him?" " No." "I think I can look after the child from a psychological perspective." "Once he's in an institute." "And you can help me like this." "You'll come and see me a couple of times a week." "Because we have to go to the source of the problem." "So I need to see you, as well." "Sit down." "Technical test." "Look at the surprise your Robertino is giving you." "You remember, right?" "What a sweet noise." "Michela, look what Roberto has brought you." "Are you happy?" "Yes." "These are for drawing." "Do you hear these noises?" "Do you like them?" "And if together with these, you hear..." "It'd be okay, right?" "Instead of the cab noise." "Look." "Now, you draw." "You have all the colors." "Do whatever you want." "Take your time." " I want to tell you something." " Yes." " You must draw, as well." " I'm very busy right now." "I can't stay here and draw." "You start drawing." "I'll be back." "Can you hear the noises?" "So, if together with these noises, you hear..." "Everything's okay, okay?" "So wait for me." "Draw a lion and a lioness." "I was waiting for you." "It will be a while before she hangs the picture." "I'm at your disposal." " Good morning." "How are you?" " Hi." "Gianluigi!" "How are you?" "Where's you room?" "Can you show it to me?" " Here?" " Yes." "Gianluigi!" " Gianluigi, look." " Let's go on the bed, Gianluigi." " Here you go." " This is your home, huh?" " Look who's here, Gianluigi." " And whose stuff is this?" "Yours?" "Nice." "Come here." "I'll caress you." " Answer to the teacher, Gianluigi." " Come here." " Dear Cesare." "How is it going?" " He's always like this." " He's not eating here, either?" " No." "He won't eat anything." "Do you drink?" "Do you poop?" "No?" "Won't you say something to the teacher?" "What a nice motorbike." "Let me see it." "Give it to that girl." "Come on." "See how nice it is?" "Girls love motorbikes." "Then they'll give you a bike." "When are you coming back to the kindergarten?" "Would you like to come back right away?" "It's early." "It's too early, you know?" "We'll walk together." "It's become so much fun, the kindergarten." "There's the snow." "There's Robertino and Linda." "Do you remember them?" "They were just saying today, "I wonder if Gianluigi is eating?"" "When you come back, let us know." "I said, " I'm sure he's eating because Gianluigi is a big eater."" "They even eat your snack over there." "It's so cold in here." "Hey?" "You can't sleep in here." "Yes, I know." "Now I'll give the teacher..." "The coffee to the teacher, the teacher to the coffee." "Then I'm off." " Hi, Roberto." " Hi." " Hi." " Hi, Roberto." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "Nothing." " Why nothing?" "It's impossible." " I said, nothing." " With that look on your face?" " I'm just relaxing." "Then it's not the moment to tell you what I was going to tell you." " To me?" " Good news." " What?" " I'm pregnant." "Huh?" "Yes, I'm pregnant." "What do you mean, you're pregnant?" "So quickly?" "We still have to introduce ourselves." "Nice to meet you." "She's already pregnant." "Nice to meet you." "And now?" "How can you manage with two kids?" "It's not a problem." "I want another kid." "I feel like having it." "Look at Michela, she's here." "Yes, but..." "And there will be Michele, as well." "The news deeply shocked him." "Yes, a little bit." " Emptiness." "Absolute emptiness." " Pimples." "Did you know that Mom is expecting a baby?" "Yes." "What are you going to do now?" " She doesn't have a big belly." " Hey, wait a minute." "No, it's not true." "She doesn't have a big belly." "You don't have a big belly, she's right." "Patience." "It doesn't grow in five minutes." "It's carnival time." " How fun, it came to visit us." " Take it to school." "You load it on your back, and you take it to school." "It's flying." "Fly!" "Fly!" "It's raining, and it's flying." "Look at me." "TV has won, my dear donkey." "Go home, come on." "The kids don't feel better." "Poor beast." "Good night, donkey." "It's carnival time." " I'm done for today." " What?" "Thank you." "Carnival..." "Catorchi!" "You spent the night at the nightclub?" "Are you sleepy?" "I'm having a little nap." "Good." "It's carnival time." "Let's cheer up." "All right." "Good job, Catorchi." "We'll have some fun, eh?" "It's carnival time." "Oh, don't throw rocks at me." "Easy!" "Hi." "How did you get in?" "Why didn't you buzz?" " Give me the keys." " All right." " Would you like a coffee?" " Yes." "Thanks." " It's only for one." "Can't you see?" " You're in a nice mood today." " How come you're so merry?" " Would you like a cigarette?" " Yes." " I don't have one." "How come you got so merry lately?" "I'll get mine." "It's made you more good-natured, this relationship with Isabella." " What?" "Our relationship?" " Yes." "Not ours, yours." "I like her, but..." "I don't know." "She always has a lot of problems." " And you, too." " Of course, with the kids." "You always sit here, miserable." "It's not because of Isabella." "It's because of the kids." "Isabella is pregnant." "Did you know that?" "Really?" "Poor her." "Is she going to have an abortion?" "In London?" " What is she going to do?" " No, she wants it." " What?" " She wants the baby." " You, too?" " Lf she wants to have it." " And what will you do with it?" " I don't know." "She wants it." "She's got one already." "You know, as they say in novels, you walked out of my life." "Another woman took your place, Eleonora." "I'm off." " What is that?" " It was a nice and sexy little gift." "And now you don't need it anymore." "What do you mean?" " It's a set of bed sheets." "Black." " And I don't need bed sheets?" " Yes, but they're black." " Perfect." " They're nice." " I'll take them anyway." " I'll show them to you." " Where?" " I'll make your bed, okay?" " All right." "I'll show you how nice they are." "Even though..." "You had me have an abortion twice." "Show me these bed sheets." "I'll show them to you now." "You'll see how wonderful they are." " Easy." " Oh, come on." "This bed used to be for you, and now..." "Yes, now it's for that dead woman." "That's why you brought me black sheets." "Of course." "It's your funeral." "Yes, listen to them." "They stay all day in there." "They sing, they play music." "And I keep smoking." "And I really don't understand." "Honestly, it's not jealousy." "You know that." "I mean, you know me." "What about the garters?" "I don't have them." "They're out of fashion." "You used to wear them." " Huh?" " Here I am." " How is it going?" " Always partying without me." "You're not leaving, are you?" "Are you staying?" " I like these black sheets." " Yes." " I've never seen them before." " It's a good thing that you knocked." "Because if you walked in all of a sudden, you know..." "No, I heard you playing." "I thought there was..." "A little party." " In fact..." "How is it going?" " There was a party." "Fine." "I'm fine." " You have a lighter?" " I'd feel even better here." "Do you have it for long?" "This is beautiful." "Look at those lights." "Too bad you can't see them by day." "Lights, colors, fresh air." "Look at this." "Better than Disneyland." "Do you like my idea?" "This is a brilliant idea." "You're a liar." "It was my idea, not yours." "Look over there." "The kids tomorrow..." "We'll bring them here tomorrow." "This is wonderland." "Let's go." "This is wonderland." "So if they ask you why you're here, what do you tell them?" " You have to lie." " We came to visit our dads." "You'll say, "We took the bus, number 2 8," okay?" "Okay?" "Go!" "Forward!" "Straggle!" "Go and conquer the world!" "It's such a beautiful game." " Bye." " So long!" "Mind you, go forth and multiply!" "Straggle!" "It looks like a war operation." "Is it dangerous?" "Dangerous?" "They're grown-ups." "It'll be dangerous for the workers." "They're so lively that maybe they'll be dangerous for the workers." " Come on, let's go." " Let's go." "If you really want to get worried..." "Listen, let's disguise ourselves and check the situation." "Let's disguise ourselves as workers, so..." "Do it well." "Do the worker's walk." " I don't know how you do the worker." " Look." "Come on, do it well." " Hi, kids." "What are you doing here?" " We came to visit our dads." "Your dads?" "Let's go." "Come on." "Move, move." "Easy, easy." "Let's get on the toy train!" "Let's get on the toy train!" "You too, come." "Come here." "Let's go." "How did you get here?" "Who sent you here?" " We came to see our moms and dads." " Your moms and dads?" " Yes." " And they work here?" " Yes." " What are their names?" " Poop!" "Poop!" " Is that their name?" " Yes!" " For all of them?" " Yes!" " Oh, I see." "No, I don't believe you." "There must be someone with a different name." "No." "Everyone is Poop." "What's your dad's name, for example?" "They're playing a joke." "They're playing a joke, yes." "What are your parents' names?" "Poop!" "Poop!" "So?" "Miss, we need to know the names of these monsters." "Then we'll call a parent meeting in the canteen." " Your mom...?" " Poop!" "Lisa, come!" "Lisa, come here!" "Where's my mom?" " So you're saying you're a worker?" " I'm a worker." "I'm talking to him, not you." "We're two workers." "Don't you see my clothes?" "And the kids?" "Who brought them in here?" "How should I know?" "You're dressed like a teacher." "You brought the kids here." "If you try being witty, you'll make things even worse." "Don't you know this is a dangerous place?" "There are gas leaks, explosions." "Why, isn't it dangerous for men, as well?" "No, because they have to work." "So those who work..." "Then, let's have the kids work." "That way it won't be dangerous for them." " Spare me your jokes." " I'm not the kindergarten teacher." "Come on." "So you're not the teacher, huh?" "Kids!" " Why are they waving to you then?" " I love you!" "Now, always, resistance!" "Now, always, resistance!" "Now, always, resistance!" "Now, always, resistance!" "This year, parents, we had a teacher between us." "For us, the staff and the operator of this facility, it's been a very positive experience." "And for the kids, too." "We've seen his happiness..." "I mean, we saw in the context of the life that we live in the kindergarten, the introduction of a dad." "You, as parents, you've found it a little harder to get used to it." "No, the parent is an animal that gets used to it in no time." "Yes, but it was a little more difficult for them." "You know what?" "We'll stay here, since everything went well." "We ate, we drank, there are rest rooms, beds, food, women, kids, old people..." "We'll all stay here, and we'll have the town council send the food." "We'll do like this every day." "We'll eat dessert for free." " The kindergarten is occupied." " Okay?" "And those who'll come asking, "What's going on here?"..." "Join us, too." "Come in and be quiet." "Coffee." "We go to bed together, women, men, kids, old people, all together." "Okay?" "And while we're all playing together, we can talk about love." "Oh, yes." "About the past." "About the past." "No, about the present, too." " The love that you guys make." " But love never ends, does it?" " No, no, no." " Does it end?" " No, love never ends." "Never." " It never ends." "He's right!" "We never saw a party like this before." "Be quiet!" "Listen!" "What?" "We never saw a party like this before." "That's the point." "This party's a great success." " Because he's a man?" " No, no, no." "You never agree." "You never agree in class..." "It's no use shouting." "All right." "I'll go away for a while." "Because here, you do the eating and I do the talking." "I'll go get some food." "Where's Isabella?" " Oh, always with this Isabella." " Well, of course." "She's pregnant." "Isabella!" "Where is she?" "I'll be back with some food." "Isabella?" "Isabella?" "Anyone seen Isabella?" "I thought there'd be less people, you know?" "But there's plenty." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..." "The row on the right should be 10 people." "Multiplied by 15 on the horizontal row equals 150." "Plus 150 equals 300, 600, 900, the surrounding buildings." " One million and two hundred..." " So many people." " Oh, my God, I'm choking." " Two millions and six hundred." "Three millions, four millions, plus one." "Hi, Gianluigi, look who's here." "Who is she?" "Hey, is that the way to behave?" "I bring people here to see you, and you look like...?" "Huh?" "Cheer up!" "He's kind of tired." "Are you tired?" "Do you know who she is?" "I told you about her." "She's Isabella." "I brought her here." "And do you know who this is?" "Isabella's child." " And his." " Yes." "I'll introduce him to you." "Now, he's too little." "I'll introduce him to you." "Can I introduce her to you?" "Like, officially?" "Is that okay?" "Gianluigi, this is Isabella." "Hold on, we'll do it again." "More officially, okay?" "Gianluigi, this is Isabella." "See?" "She's pretty, isn't she?" "Hey, you must recover." "I've been asking at kindergarten, I said, "I'll go visit Gianluigi."" "They said, "Who's Gianluigi?" I mean, if you don't recover." "Hold on a second, I'll go see what..." "He feels bad about it." "Why did you leave?" "And you're always eating." "Before, the ice cream." "Now the biscuits." " You don't scare me." " Why would I want to scare you?" "My kid will be smart and strong." "Why are you afraid of Gianluigi?" "I didn't bring you here to scare you." " Today, we're taking a break." " I decided I'm leaving for Sardinia." "You know that." "I want to reopen the movie theatre." "Huh?" "I'm leaving." "I can't stand this place anymore." "But why?" " Too much pressure for me." " It's nice here." " Oh, you're going to Sardinia..." " I did tell you about it." "Yes, I remember now." "The movie theatre." "Nice." "But, I mean, are you going on your own?" " With my daughter." "And with him." " No, Michela can't go." "Why is that?" "I'm sorry, she must finish kindergarten." " Who cares?" " I do." "You can come, as well." "What do you mean, "You can?" I want to come." "But you could have invited me, like:" ""Roberto, come along with me"." "The thing is that I don't want to become a liability for you." "Why?" "You want to deliver on your own?" "That day, I'll be on my own anyway." " No, I want to be there, I mean..." " I'm happy if you want to come." "I want to see..." "I can be your midwife." "Come along." "I'll be your midwife." "Okay?" "400 tadpoles and 400 kids." "The same number." "The tadpoles grow up." "The kids grow up." "Then they eat them." "That's life." "The phone's ringing!" "Alessandro!" "Alessandro!" "Alessandro, the phone's ringing!" "It's for you." "I'll put him on." "Who is it?" "All right." "Well..." "Let's see these T-shirts." "Let's see." "So, this yellow one here, this is good." "Green doesn't work." "I want them either blue or pink." "Not apples!" "Don't make any apples." "You have to make socks, underpants, panties." "Hey!" "Hello!" "The band is coming." "Hey, violinist!" " What are you making?" " I'm making a cap." " Great." "What color is it?" " Blue." "Great." "So who's using pink?" "You're all using blue." "Who's using pink?" "You, use pink." "Forget about green." "Look at that kid." " Did you come here to panhandle?" " Yes." " Why?" " Because I need to eat." " Did you run away from home?" " Yes." " What's your name?" " Daniele." "What's going on?" "There's a kid called Daniele who's begging." "What are we going to do, Michela?" "Good." "Take me to him." "Let's meet this violinist." " Good morning." " Good morning." " What's your name?" " Daniele." " I'm Roberto." " These are my friends." "They told me you're in trouble." "What's the matter?" " Can I trust you?" " What do you mean?" "Can he trust us?" " Yes." " Of course, you can trust us." " What happened?" " I ran away from home." " Yes, he really ran away from home." " And don't tell us a lie." "You ran away from home?" " He wants to stay at your place." " He wants to stay at my place." "We need to talk about it all together." "We can't make a decision on the spot." " No." " How come you have a violin?" "Because I want to play it." "You're really talented." "I heard you playing." "Alfa 2 to Central." "We're located at Corticella." "Let's behave, okay?" "The Chief is coming here, we're a little nervous." "Okay?" "Robertino." "Mind you." " Good morning." " Good morning." " How are you?" "We meet again." " I'm fine." "How are you?" " Would you like to take a sit?" " No, thank you." "We brought in this chair for you." " Well, there was no need." " Do you remember me?" "Thank you." " We already met before." " Yes." "I perfectly remember." " Now the situation is desperate." " I'm listening." " Daniele." "This is the Chief." " What happened?" "What happened?" "Daniele is miserable." "Here's the thing." "Daniele wants to run away from home." "Basically, he's seeking asylum." "And we signed a petition for Mr. Roberto Ermano." " Okay, give it to me." " Roberto, give it to him." "So far, it's only..." "How many?" "120 signatures." "But there'll be millions." "One million and two hundred." "Please, stand up." "I'll take this." " And now?" " Take off your clothes, please." "I asked you to take off your clothes." "Why don't you take off your clothes, Roberto?" "It's a game, kids." "Take off your clothes." "Look, these are the results of your teaching methods." "Stop!" "I didn't mean you, gentlemen." "Only the indicted child must undress." "Indicted kid?" "Oh, please." "Sorry, it's just a habit." "I meant, the kid in question." " Do you consider yourself a martyr?" " Yes." "Take off your shirt and pants, please." "The underpants, too?" "No, not the underpants." "Tell me, do your parents beat you?" "Yes?" "But at a glance, it doesn't look like there are visible signs." "Let me have a closer look." "Well, there's no cigarette stub burns." "So what?" "No broken teeth." "No wounds from punches or the use of an iron." " There's nothing." " What does this mean?" "Look, if there are no signs of torture, I can't intervene." "Actually, to be honest, this case is nonexistent." "Wait, you come here." "Look at him for a minute and say everything's fine." "We've been talking for days with him." "He's miserable." "He doesn't want to live with his parents, and we must help him." "Basically, he's seeking asylum." "Understand?" "You have to give me the authorization to let him leave his parents' home." "This Chief, he looks like a nice person, but he's actually one who..." "No way." "You know?" "You can show him 50 millions signatures, and he won't let you go." "Because this case is nonexistent." "Please, dress again." "Okay?" "So, you know what?" "We'll start living underground." " Yeah?" " Yes." " Do you know what that means?" " Pretty well." "You do." " So, shall we live underground or not?" " Yes." "So for tonight, you'll stay at my friend's place." "I'll take you there." "And tomorrow, we'll see." "Let's go." "I'll take you to a place." "Your violin?" "As a present, I'll let you play my violin." " Can I play it?" " Yes." "As a present?" "Thank you." "Look, we're going to that white house over there." "A very good friend of mine lives there." "Am I holding it in the proper way?" "Let's live underground!" "Let's live..." "Do you like that house?" "I used to play it like this, the violin." "Let's live underground" "Yes?" "Who is it?" "Come in." "Hey, easy, what is it?" "There he is." "Get off the bed, Ma'am." "Get off." "We have a warrant." "Do you want to see it?" "No, no." "I mean, what's the use?" "Michela." "You, search everywhere." "Look under the pillows." "They're shooting me, Michela." "They're shooting me." "No, we're not." " You should've gone to your home." " We're already at home." "Please, Ma'am, sit down." "With your kids." "They're killing me." " Be quiet, Michela." " You must run away." " You, too." "Sit over there." " Where am I supposed to run away?" " To your home." " But they caught me." "I don't know if you realize that I'm pregnant." "And you're also scaring my kids." "I know, just a second..." "No, sit down over there." "Next to them." "You have to excuse us, Ma'am." "We're just doing our duty." "We've been working non-stop for three days." " So, please be patient." " Lf they shoot you..." "Nobody is going to shoot you." "You, pack your stuff." "You're going back to your place." "I'm talking to Roberto." "Search these rooms." "What if they shoot me?" "You must run away to your friend's place." "There's no need to run away." "He's just coming with us for a short while." " So you're the teacher?" " Yes." "Here." "You." "All you teachers kind of lost your mind, lately." "Huh?" "I told the kid that it's better if he goes back to his family with his violin because..." "Yes, yes." "He's already back to his dad." "Oh, good." "I was the one who told him to go back." "I just wanted to have a little talk with you." "What?" "From the documents in our possession, it turns out that you, when you were young..." "When I was young?" "You were a potentially subversive element." "But I'm not that old now." "You're not old." "But you started very early." "I was a little livelier." "But now I just teach in kindergarten." "I'm not into politics anymore." "It doesn't interest me." " It doesn't interest you, huh?" " No." "I mean, I'm just a kindergarten teacher." "Tri-continental." "Strategies  Tactics of Latin-American Revolution." "It's an extremely rare issue." "It's kind of a milestone in the life of this magazine." "There's no need to wink." "It's Che Guevara." "But as you know, there's a good and a bad interpretation of Che Guevara's work." " I'm for the good interpretation." " You're for the good one?" " Yes." "I like the bad one less." " It's your good interpretation." "Against Family." "Seized all over Italy and sentenced to one year and six months for solicitation." "What an enigma." "Where did you find them?" "In the apartment where you used to live, and still live now." "No, I mean, that's not my apartment." "I don't keep those things in my place." "I'm staying at this girl's place." "We live happily together." "She reads this stuff, not me." "What a subversive she is." " She reads them." " I told her, trash those..." "Why do you read and underline that stuff?" "Are you a member of the Groups of Patriotic Action." "No, no." "I just glance through." "You just glance through." "What do you teach the children?" "The revolution when they're three years old?" "No." "If you'd like to come..." "If you'd like to come to the school, I'd be glad to show you." " What do you teach these kids?" " We have fun." "How do you have fun?" "What do you do?" "It was nice meeting you." "If you'll let me go, I'm kind of in a hurry." "The kids must eat, poop." "They need attention." "I have to look after them, sort of like a bride, let's say." " Or a groom." " Or a groom." "Look at that, Morena." "They're all dead." " I guess you're dead, too." " Me?" " I'm dead?" " Yes, you are." "But I loved them." " I love you, too." "I'm good to you." " But I told you that she killed you." "Me." "You look great, though." "Do you know you're beautiful?" " You, too." " Yes." "You're beautiful." "You have nice knees, you know?" "You, too." " Me, too?" " Yes." "But your skin..." "It looks like you're wearing makeup." "No." " You're not wearing makeup?" " No." "You're beautiful." "I want to see because I don't believe that it's alive, you know?" "It's really alive." "How did you do it?" "Do you know that 1 80 died?" "They were 1 8 1, and only one survived." "This will make history." "Not only is it alive." "Look at it." "It looks like a pig." "It's the only one that survived." "This is an extraordinary event." "It will be on the newspaper tomorrow." "Okay?" "Good boy." "Is this bed comfortable?" "Can I lie down with you for a little while?" "Yes?" "Thank you." "Let's see what it's like to sleep here." "It's comfortable." "Hey, Gianluigi, you need to eat something." "Every time I come here, you can ask me:" ""Roberto, do you have some pork chops?"" " Hi, Gianluigi." "Hi." " Good morning." "Turkey's breast." "Zebra's rib." " A light bulb." "Just eat something." " Hi." "How are you?" "Everything's okay?" " Do you like her?" " Was it good to have some company?" "Wait here." "I'll go talk to her." "After that, we'll go eat together." " So." "How's it going?" " Good morning." " As usual." " We're starting to meet." "He's funny." " How are you?" "Are you okay?" " I'm fine." " Yes." "You look good." " I do my job." "So, since I'm going to Sardinia with the kids..." "I put a sign saying that many kids are coming with me, since their parents can't come." "The thing is that I'd like to visit him, but I should fly here from Sardinia." "So I was thinking that maybe I could take him with me." "Will it do him good?" "Well, the situation here hasn't changed that much." "I mean, as you can see, the child can barely stand on his feet." "The doctors are trying everything, but..." "They're feeding him mechanically." " Hey." " Hi." " Who's dead?" " Nobody's dead." " For me?" " It's for you." " Thank you." "Expensive." "Beautiful." " They're beautiful, huh?" "Hold on." "Look who's here!" "Luca the Magnificent." " Hi." "How are you?" " Hi." "He brought us flowers." "For both of us." "Where shall we put them?" "In here?" "On the floor." "You should've brought a vase." "Not on the floor." " Here, it's a present for you." " Oh, thank you." "How nice." " Does it smell nice?" " Yes." "They really smell nice." " You can keep them." "Good." " I'll put them here." " Why did you come here?" " I'm leaving." " You're leaving?" " Yes." "Since I love to deal with kids," "I decided to study them more thoroughly." " Really?" " So I can't come to Sardinia with you." " So you really love kids?" " Yes." " So you're not coming with us?" " No." "I have to start this course." "He's not coming to Sardinia with us, then." "What are we going to do now?" "Come with us." "Let's go with the kids, if he's not coming." " There's..." "Lara." " Paolino." "Linda." "Robertino." "Gianluigi." "Gianluigi, you don't remember him anymore." " Alessandro." "Francesca." " Good." "By the way, how come you never visited him?" "Because you're running away." "I know." "But I visited him quite often." "How's he?" "He's fine." "He's coming to Sardinia with us." "Look." "Look at this." "These are nice pajamas." "I bought some for him, too, so that..." " Since we both can't swim." " It's nice." "We can wear it at the beach and take a walk." "Good morning." "Excuse me, I don't know if you saw her." "But I was looking for a pregnant woman." " Yes, yes." " You saw her?" "Yes, I did." "She lives over there at the top." "Oh, at the top." " Okay." "Is it nice up there?" " Yes, it's a movie theatre." "It was." "It's been operating until five or six years ago." " And now pregnant women go there." " Unfortunately." "I'm sure we'll love it here." " What color is the sea?" " Blue!" "Blue!" "And there's also some white." "It's the foam." "Look, the movie theatre." "God, I'm carrying all these bags." " Is anyone here?" " Is anyone here?" "Watch it." "It's full of fish." "Watch it!" "Gianluigi." "They said it's full of fish." "Come on, go." "Go down." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Come, Paolo." "Hurry!" "Hi, Mom." "Don't push my belly." " Look." "Look at this." " Hi, Michele." "Come here." "Our daughter." "You remember her, right?" "Then there's Lara, Francesca, Alessandro." "Lorena." "Then there's Paolino, always on his own." "Paolino was left behind." "And..." " And Gianluigi." " And Gianluigi." "With his frog, look." "It's the only one that survived." " Is he always sad?" " No, he's happy, but..." "He's still not eating." "You know what?" " I'm not that hungry, either." " Why aren't you hungry?" "I think I got Gianluigi's virus." "It's contagious." "Oh, Linda and Robertino, I forgot." "Let's go!" "Come on." "Let's put all your stuff over here." "Come." "Over there is where you're going to sleep." "Welcome!" "Five, six, seven, eight, nine... 10, 11, 12." "How will we manage?" " How?" " We'll see what happens." " They're so many." " Don't worry." "There's the sea here." "Gianluigi." "Why don't you roll out your sleeping bag?" "Look, everyone rolled out theirs." "The frog." "Come on." "Take it out, or it will die." "No, I think your frog won't die even if you try to kill it." " Oh, here we go." " Let me see." "No, these are Gianluigi's personal belongings." "It's a "Gianluigi Frog."" "Come on, unroll your sleeping bag, Gianluigi." "Roll it out." " No, no!" "Don't open it." " Why?" "Oh, there are two!" "Let me see." "Look." "They doubled." "Gianluigi is able to double the frogs." "Hey, you, come over here." "There was a ticket office here." "What is it?" "It was the ticket office." "Now it's my bedroom." " The ticket office." " No, it's my bedroom." "How long did it take you to furnish it?" "This is a nice room." "I've been desperately waiting for you." " Good morning." " Good morning." " What are you doing?" " I'm waiting for the bus." " It's nice to see you." " Same here." "It's so nice to see you." "So many kids, huh?" "All these kids..." "What are they doing here?" " Well, he sent them for groceries." " Oh, I see." " And they're all here?" " Yes." " Good." "So, do you like it here?" " Yes." " It's true." " Really?" " Yes." " Yes." "Good." "I wanted to ask you something." "I decided I want to deliver at home." " Sure, I'll help you." " But can I do it at home?" " Of course, you can." " Can you really help me?" " Yes, sure." " Thank you." "I feel safe with you." " Okay." "I'll help you deliver at home." " Everything's fine." "He's healthy." "Two peaches for both of you." "Gianluigi, you never eat anything." "Look how Michela is eating." "Eat." "Eat something." "Otherwise, I won't marry you." "If you eat the whole peach, I'll give you an applause." "Okay, we got it." "Enough." "Don't insist." "He'll feel bad if you tell him you won't marry him." "You told him eight times already." "Look." "He's not eating." "Drink this." "Come on." "It's chamomile." "Sugar, water, and chamomile." "And water!" "Be quiet." "I'm talking to Gianluigi." "It's sugar, water, and chamomile." "It will give you a boost." "It's energetic." "Good." "He'll feed on this for the whole week." "Gianluigi!" " Gianluigi!" " Be quiet." "He's eating." "What is it?" "Are you catching flies?" "Here." "Don't move." "Forget about the flies." "Gianluigi." "Better than nothing." "Good morning!" "Oh, here comes the group with the stuff to smell." " Did I tell you, Gianluigi?" " Here we are." " Hi, daughter." " Look who's here, Gianluigi." " We're going to eat now." " I decided something." "Starting today, I'll stay with the kids." "While you'll stay at home and play." "Okay." "Surprise!" "Good evening, fans." "We're here to do a show called "The Leg on the Table on the Right."" "Can I do it again?" "Second half." "Last year, we did " The Leg on the Table on the Left,"" "and it broke after the second performance." "And this is "The Walk of the Leg on the Table."" "I've never seen you cry." "What's wrong?" "What's the matter?" "I asked you why you're crying." "Pregnant women always cry." "Does the idea of giving birth scare you?" "I'm crying because I feel lonely." "And maybe I'm scared, too." "I didn't get used to your kid." "I didn't get used to you." "And I keep spilling everything." "Everything." "The wine." "Pick up the glass." "Are you out of your mind?" "No." "Hey, you'll scare everyone if you behave like this." "It's temporary." "Temporary." "It will pass in a second." "And you, Gianluigi, do you like my belly?" "Do you like my belly?" "Are you mad at me?" "You don't like it!" "You don't like it either, then." " Lf you're crying because of that..." " I'm crying because it hurts." "And you, Gianluigi, I need to talk to you." " Yes, but don't be mad at him." " Shut up, Roberto!" "You're always talking." "I know." "But since he's not, I have to." "I'd like to have a child with you." "If you only wanted to." "Well, it's true." "We just met." "Nice to meet you, Roberto." "I already have a child." "Seriously, it'd be nice to have one." "In a slightly more romantic way." "But I'm happy." "I'm happy to have a child of my own." "Anyway, Isabella, I'm leaving." "We just left." "Let me smell it." "We're gone." "Do you think I'm stupid?" "What exactly are you thinking, you two?" "Do you remember that song..." "Why are you never happy?" "What are you thinking about?" "Maramao, why are you dead?" "You had salad in the garden And a home and wine and bread" "Maramao, why are you dead?" "Why?" " Okay, I'll go talk with the kids." " All right." "Let's make a circle." "Come gather around me." "Come gather around me." "Come on." "Guys, the situation is serious." "Isabella is going to have a baby." "Shall we all go and help her?" "This is women's business, not the kids'" "It's a great thing, isn't it?" "We were born in our mom's belly, too." " It's normal, isn't it?" " Yes." "I was born in a belly, too." "Everyone." "Yes." "We were all born in a belly." "But then you grow up, and then you go to school, and then you grow old." " You go to school, and you get old?" " No, after that..." "Well, we must hurry, because she's going to give birth now." "Do you want to go see the birth of this baby?" "Yes." "Then, let's all shout "yes" to let her know that we agree." "Yes." " Do we want to go and help her?" " Yes." "Do we want to go and help her give birth?" "Yes." " Be strong, be strong." " Okay." " It's coming." " Is it coming?" "You can wait outside." "You can come back in later." "L..." "Oh, okay." " Once the baby is born..." " You can come in." "But I wanted to be here before that." "I talked with the kids, and we all want to help..." " No, you can't let the kids in here." " No?" "No, no." " But they wanted to come in." " No, not the kids." "Women only." " You gave them the permission?" " Not even me?" " No, you can stay." "You're the husband." " I'm the husband." "You don't need anything?" "Gloves, glasses?" "No." "Glasses are only for sewing." " They're for sewing only?" " Yes." "You don't need glasses to give birth." "Everything will be okay." "She can see." "Oh, poor guy..." "Shall we go for a walk?" "Come on." "Do you want your pacifier?" "Let's take this." "Stomachache!" "Stomachache!" "Stomachache!" "Stomachache!" "Roberto, stomachache!" "Roberto, stomachache!" "Roberto, stomachache!" "Now, always, resistance!" "Now, always, resistance!" "Now, always, resistance!" "Now, always, resistance!" " You just talked." " And I've eaten." "You just talked." "I heard you." "The frog." " Who just talked?" " The frog." "You didn't talk?" " Do you like the sea?" " Yes." " What?" " Yes." "Do you think it's true that the sea is our mom?" " Is it true?" " Yes." "What if it wasn't true?" "Let's go in...?" "You want to go in?" "What if it's not our mom?" "Is it true?" "Who knows?" "Let's try." "That?" "Shout it." "No, wait a little bit." "First we play something, then we'll see." "What do you want to do?" "What?" "You want to go into the water?" "Help!" "Help!"
