"Death will come and will have your eyes, this death that accompanies us from morning till night, sleepless..." "No, not this." "Music, right?" " What was that?" "A poem?" "You're right." " But that was your voice." " l told you, my mother wanted me a doctor, I didn't want... no, I couldn't resist." "But this is what I did and do love:" "arts, music, not man's anatomy, but the spirit..." "my motherwanted otherwise." "She knew the taste ofhunger." "Can you understand?" " l know it too."

"You bite like a bitch." " Get out ofhere!" " You understand me?" "Or are you deaf?" "I saw everything at the cross, the Rolls car, and that wretch." "You braked ten meters away from the cliff, downhill." "Then you placed that poor devil behind the wheel, you took the motorbike from the coffer, offwith the parking brake and the car goes!" "A flight like hell!" "Good!" "You want me to tell you the number?" "Leghorn 47863" "You devised a good stratagem." "So many people go offthe road there." "You've been around." "As far as I am concerned, I follow." "You shouldn't waste an opportunity, when there is one." "So you thought you made bingo, didn't you?" "Bravo." "You're not stupid." " No, I'm not."

"He must covered you with jewelry like a madonna." "Out with them." "There's not much." "I don't keep them at home." "How should I have known you were dropping by?" "That's it?" "Then jewelry must be at the bank." " Are you fucking me around?" " l told you, you can raid the house." "May I?" "Enough with jokes." "Maybe I wasn't clear, but if you piss me off, your dolce vita is over." "Roger?" "You won't get away with a few bucks and half-pound bracelets." "Do you know banks open at midnight?" "We'll meet tomorrow." "You got the wildcard, don't you?" "Tomorrow?" "Do I look like I was born yesterday?" "I'll stay here." "You'll go to the bank with me" " as soon as they open." " No." " You will." " Go away!" "Leave me alone, I beg you." "I must be alone." "Try to understand me." "I can't move, even ifl wanted to." "You'll get all you want, everything, I am at your mercy." "You know that." "But tonight is for me only." "For me only." "Shut up." "I'll stay here." "Not even a tumbler." "Some hostess." " Have you come by car?" " l have." "Not in a Rolls." " ls it outside?" " No, I keep in my pocket." " You never know." " Put it in the garage." " What are you thinking?" " Don't be afraid, I'll come along." "You must hide it." " Why?" " l don't want it to be seen." "You're afraid for your reputation, uh?" "Do as I told you." "Move on." " Can't I even comb my hair?" "Are you going to a party?" "Let that telephone go!"

"We're only conducting a house-to-house inspection." "We're hounding someone." "There has been some commotion tonight along the coast." "There must be some cigarette, or drug trafficking." "So here we are." "You never know, we might catch their inside man." " Did you hear anything?" " Me?" "Nothing." "It's just for doubt's sake." "They know we are hounding them." " My god." " Don't be scared." "They usually have a clean record, they just try to scrape a living." " Can I offer you a drink?" " Not while in service." " Can I offer you a drink?" " Not while in service." "We are willy-nilly teetotalers." "Some say we have a nice job." "Thanks anyway." " What is that?" "Blood?" " Yes, Fernanda cut herselfwith a glass." "As soon as she's back" " she'll clean." " She's not here?" "And Antonio?" "Where are they?" "Fernanda's sister is giving birth." "They're at the village, I'm alone." " And what about the professor?" " He left for Turin." "Tonight." " For that important conference." " l remember now." " l read it in the newspaper." " There's nothing outside, inspector." "Fine, we are leaving." "I'm sorry we bothered you, madam." "I'd like to ask you stay here." "You scared me a little." "There's no reason." "Just shut yourself inside, and take a good rest." "Say hello to the professor." "Please close the gate accurately." "I swear, you should have been an actress." "You're really good at it." "Give me some." " Help yourself." " Did you take a course in good manners?" "Yeah, at your college." "Hear me now." "I'll give you a check." "Payable immediately." "The bank opens at8.30am. You see, I'm not trying to cheat you." "But now, please, leave me alone." "You have my word." "You would leave." "Besides, you heard the cops." " They're not coming back." "You have a clean record, uh?" "What do you think?" "There's a few hours left." "They'll go by quickly." "Isn't there any music?" "Death will come and will have your eyes this death that accompanies us..." "Master speaking, uh?" "He sang you poems!" "Too many jewels and a lot ofpoetry." "It was not what you dreamed of when you slipped in the professor's bed, uh?" "Are you finished?" " Why, am I wrong?" "Please, I must telephone." "It's important, believe me." "Try and see." " Understand me." " Listen to this fairy tale." "Once upon a time, there was an ordinary girl, a scrounger." "Instead ofwalking the streets," " as many do..." " lt's very important for me," " but it's also in your interest." " But this well-bred girl eyes a sucker and lets him get a whiff ofit... you know how these things go, and he marries her." "So our scrounger turns into a lady, with furs, a Rolls," " and a hell of a villa." " Can't you see I can't cheat you?" "But the boss disgusts her." "The boss recites poetry." " Then she tells him: out ofmy sight!" " Stop it!" "Enough!" "You don't like my story?" " l am still shaking." "Of course." "You've just thrown a Rolls in the sea." " Looks like nothing, but then..." "You're right..." " Who's that now?" " Leave that gun alone!" " What shall I do now?" " Go up in my room!" "For a moment I feared he wouldn't leave anymore." " Let's go upstairs." " No, Stefano, there is my girl friend at home, she's just arrived." "Let's go in the hut." "You are the only one." "I never let anyone else." " What are you saying?" " lt's mine." "Antonio used to keep the gardening tools there." " l have renovated it." " What is it?" "A doll's house?" " Come in." "This is where l spend my time." "Do you like it?" " l like you." " You don't like it either?" "Absolutely. lt's cozy." "Who is this Yvonne?" "I have already told you." "A girl friend ofmine." "She works at the Hotel Metropol." " Please, Stefano." "Be quiet." " How comes she's here?" " Of all days?" " She's in trouble." " Big trouble with her husband." " She had to come tonight." "Don't be an egoist." "She's upset." " When did she arrive?" " Towards 7pm, shortly before Armando leaving." "Listen, the two ofus must make a decision." "I can't bear this anymore." " Listen..." " He will never set me free." "He's crazy." "I can't understand him." " Do you ever speak frankly?" " He says that he has a reputation." " Did you mention my name?" " He already knew it." "He knew all about us." "Someone may have seen us." "How brazen-faced." "He didn't betray anything at the clinic." "Who knows what's in his mind." "My love, we can't be here all night. I don't want to leave her too much alone." " He will take the wind out ofmy sails." " What do you care?" "You said you have lots of opportunities." "You mentioned Venezuela." "Let me go have a look." "Wait for me here." "What if... what's on the genius' mind?" "Now you know all about me." "You begin to understand?" " Or is too difficult?" " l only understand money." "You'll get it!" "I don't care about money." " lt's not everything." " lt's easy to say, when you have it." "Bullshit." " Luisa!" " Send him away." "OK, but you lie hidden." "Don't ruin everything!" "What's in it for you?" "How is she?" "Some ordeal, we're in." "But you're not always subjected to destiny." "You can change it, or at least try to." "There's always a chance." "You're right, this might be best." "Or else, I would never have summoned the courage to quit my old habits." "To Venezuela!" "Better leave, old Europe is agonizing." "It's stupid to stay on a sinking ship, and I don't mind pursuing a career after my fifties." "As your husband did." "Let's start all over again." "As ifnothing had happened." "My life only began when I met you." "Before I was only someone who strove, for what?" " Come here." " Please, she's awake now." " l have so dreamed ourfirst night." " Don't worry." " We'll have many ofthem." " l hope Yvonne doesn't like" "Venezuela's climate." "Give her a sleeping pill." " Let me go." " l'll bring you upstairs." "You know what I'll tell her?" "You really had to come tonight," " milady." "Wonderful idea." " lt took her 10 years to realize that man wasn't right for her." "She got rid ofhim." "And now everyone puts the blame on her. lt always happens when a woman wakes up." "Now leave." "I must be with her, poor Yvonne." "She is my only friend." "And I do understand her." " l see." "You're getting rid ofme." " What's that?" "Blood?" " Yes..." "Yvonne." "With a glass." "I didn't tell you, but she's had a nervous breakdown." "You know how these things are." "It was just a scratch, nothing for a famous surgeon like you." " Shouldn't I have a look at her?" " Oh, no." " You sure?" "You don't know Yvonne, she only needs to cry and spill out hertroubles." "As you like." "I'll call you soon." "To Venezuela." "What a headache." "You're good." "I can see why the boss lost his mind." "Was he drunk or asleep when he... drunk, uh?" "Too bad for that Rolls." "Some would drool over a car like that, and you..." "into the sea." "Yeah, and then you buy a new one." "You go to the bank, you tell the director "Sir, I need a few millions"" ""lt's done, madam"." "I am disgusted by people like you." "Some people have all the luck." "Those who don't deserve nothing." "I am more than nothing." "I have been unlucky." "Go upstairs in my room." "Shut up!" " Did you forget anything?" " No." "That stain of blood is him." "What did he do?" "Did he try to kill himself?" " l told you, it's nothing." " l want to see her." " You don't believe me." " That's not what I mean." " There might be complications..." " You don't believe me at all, this is the truth." "She's upstairs, in Armando's room." "Go!" "You don't believe me, uh?" "What does one like you think?" "Handsome, wealthy, what did you think when we met?" "Here's a scrounger who made it." "A stranger, I know, but one needs time." "All of you took centuries to become what you are." "And the result's not good, believe me." "I saw you earlier, in the hut." "How you looked at the things I like." "Disgusted." "Full ofloathing." " Exactly like him." " No, Louisa, no." "A stupid operator, good for a one-night stand." " My love!" " Like thousands others!" "What are you saying?" "You're insulting me!" "I love you because I love you." "I believe you." "What do I care about Yvonne?" "We are about to resolve our lives." "Everything will be fine, you'll see." "Let me stay." "We have been longing to not hide, not run." "It's the first time we can be together for a whole night." "Please." "I'll stay here, like a good boy." "Why didn't you tell me that your husband won't set you free?" " He could hire legions oflawyers." " l'll talk to him." "Reputation or not, he'll have to give in." "Yes." " lt's been a hard day." "Are you tired?" "That one is not a clinic, it's an assembly line." "What's this asshole doing?" "He's not leaving?" "He's asleep." "What's on your mind?" "I deserve you much more than him." "Much more." " Let go ofme." " Wake him up," " so he'll get angry." " You dirty pig!" "This way, madam." " Luisa!" " Stefano!" "No!" "No!" "Stop Stefano, let him go." "Believe me, I don't know him." "It's not what you think, I have never seen him!" "Stefano, please!" "Freeze!" "Don't try to touch me!" "You're splitting my head open!" "Fuck me!" "Or are you tired?" "You're weak!" "You're worthless, even in this area." "You got much more than you deserve, too much." "Little dirty factory worker, supplementing his salary by making signals to the boats for a few cigarettes!" " What do you care?" " You are the fifth wheel, you're a nobody." "You only need the gun" "to defeat fear." "Just give me the money." "Yeah." "Four, five, six dirty millions." "But you took too much." " My life." " Where are you going?" " Don't fuck with me." " Fuck off!" " What is that mess?" " l took a tourwhile" " you were working out." " You're a true beggar." "lfneeds be." "Hell, what a long night." "Must be patient." "Give us our daily bread, but how hard it is." " There's coffee." " Coffee." "Good idea." " Why don't you take another cognac?" " l like coffee better." " Eat." " No, coffee only." "So I won't get asleep." "Look." "Good." "Better not sleep on the job." "The early bird gets the worm and woe betide if you cross him." " How many?" " Two." "Betterthree." "It's quite disgusting, Fernanda's much better." " Fernanda?" " The cook." "She's at the village" "with her husband." " Yeah." "She left us alone." " So kind ofher." " Thank them for me." "My god!" "A private Luna park!" "Nothing compares to pinball to calm down." "Tell me about it." "Step back and learn." "And the pictures!" "What's on?" "A porno?" "Tits in the wind?" "Here's master." "Not bad." "Requiescant in pace." "You should celebrate on Nov. 2nd." "Chrysanthemums, and two-timing." "He won't mind now." "Will you wear mourning?" "Black is in fashion." "Also in politics." "Music, poetry, art..." "what a bore!" "He was a genius, but you mistreat geniuses." "Yeah, you do." "Like Rolls." "Your friend hit me hard." "Given the circumstances, I let him." "You knowwhat?" " He shouldn't have got all worked up." " What would you have done?" " He should have believed you." " Would you believe me?" " Who knows." " He should have believed me." "He suddenly took me by the throat." "So angry!" "Some people have all the luck." "It's not true that one who's knocked out is worthless." "You tell this bullshit, dirty bourgeois." "You're right." "With a flash light in my hand, underthe rain orthe snow, every night." "For a penny." "What did you think, millions?" "Years in Germany, in Belgium, in the mines, working like dogs." "You get silicosis." "Then come embassy officials, with motherland's newspapers." "Motherland!" "Which motherland?" "The one that sends you abroad to eat?" "We used to stick photos of actresses on the shacks' walls." "Because German females wouldn't come there." "We smelled bad." "So we looked at the pin-ups' bottoms." "Betterthan nothing." "But then we gave up." "We began to stick photos oftrailers, boats, things owned by the rich." "Those who have bathrooms carpeted." "Photos of God." " So did I, just three years ago." " Then you see my point." " l do." " They turn you into a beast." "You can play, if you want." " l'm flaking out." "So you've been lured by nice things, uh?" "So was I, watching shop windows, full ofbeautiful things..." "I would have shattered them!" " You see?" " But you ruined everything." "I know, you didn't assault me, it wasn't me on that bed, it was your hunger, your bitterness, your anger, all things I know." "But you ruined everything." "You would have had the money." " l will have the money." " Yeah, sure." "But you stole me one thing." "You shouldn't have." " You had no right." " Give it up." "I told you, anger blinded me." "It's not fair." "What?" "Millions crawling for one who makes it." "Those who make it, want more and more." " The villa, the money." " The young, elegant guy" " to sleep with." " To love." " What do you know of these things?" " What does a scrounger like me know ofthese things?" "Love is forthe rich." "To love, to the consequences you witnessed tonight." " You mean at the cross?" "At the cross, indeed." "He'll come back." "Believe me." "Stay here." "Where are you going?" "Don't be afraid." "Afraid." "Of what?" " Where are you going?" " Come along, and satisfy your curiosity."
