"Hercules." "Hercules." "Hercules." "Walter, listen, I can't find Hercules." "Maybe he's back." "Have you checked, if..." "Please, check if he's there." "Hi, sweetheart." "Are you all alone?" "I'll push you." "Mama." "Where is she?" "Let's see if she's here." "What's your name?" "Aia." "Aia?" "Give me your hand, Aia." "No, there." "ls she there?" "Aia." "Come here." "No." "Where's mama?" "Where's your mama?" "It's raining, I'll take you home." "No, here..." "l'll give you some milk." "Here." "Let's go and find mama." "I'll take you home, it's raining..." "No, here..." "And I'll call the police." "Mama here." "Mama..." "Your mama?" "Let's go and find mama." "No, there..." "Come on, it's okay, I'll take you home." "Don't you know me?" "I'm aunt Patty." "Let's go." "Let's go, it's raining." "No." "I don't want to." "Come on, don't cry." "Here we are." "No, down..." "Wait, wait." "Here we are." "Shut up." "Sweetheart, come here." "Here we are." "Wait." "No, dummy." "Here's your dummy." "No, me." "Let me see." "Oh, damn." "Come on, let's take it off, it's hot in here." "Sweetheart, it's hot in here." "No." "Down." "Come on... I'm aunt Patty, you know, don't you?" "It's hot in here." "Look, hot, it's hot, so hot..." "Hot..." "Let's take everything off." "We're home." "Come on, take it off." "Okay, one..." "Come on." "Good girl." "That's it, see?" "There's your dummy, up you go." "Sweetheart, let's drink some milk." "No, leave it, look what I've got for you." "Would you like a cookie?" "Cookies?" "Hot." "Hot." "No, it's not hot." "Put the cookie in it." "Like that, look, Aia..." "Good girl." "Good girl." "Come on, eat now." "Give me your dummy." "Shut up." "There he is, the little bastard." "Wait." "Bugger." "Where have you been?" "I have been looking for you all day long, you bastard." "I'll break your legs, so you won't run away again, come here." "Get inside." "You bastard." "Little bugger." "I'll break your legs, so you won't run away again, you bugger." "Do you like the doggy?" "Have you got a doggy at home?" "Yes." "Really?" "No." "You don't?" "Anny." "Who's got one?" "I don't understand." "Come here or you'll fall down." "Now, sweetheart, I'll make your bed here." "Let's take this sheet." "Isn't this a comfy bed?" "Look..." "A blanket for the little girl." "Where is it?" "Here." "Nice shoes." "Do you want to take your pants off?" "No." "No?" "Come on, let's take them off." "I am taking them off, okay?" "Come here, I'll tuck you in." "How nice." "Get under the blanket." "You should have gone to the police, we must go to the police." "No, I don't want to." "I found a note in the girl's pocket." "It says not to call the police, she'll come back and pick her up." "The note is desperate." "Really." "OK, but we are in trouble now." "Do you know what this can lead to?" "Don't shout, she has just fallen asleep." "You have no idea what this can lead to." "Listen, I couldn't leave her there all alone." "There was no one around." "You should have taken her to the police." "Full stop." "How could I take her to the police?" "How can you assume this responsibility?" "This girl, if she falls ill, or anything else, it's your fault." "No, I am sure her mother will come and get her." "Who knows what problems she has to abandon her child." "Do you know what I think?" "This woman knows us." "She knows us and knows where we live." "I don't know." "She hasn't even cried that much." "Maybe at home the situation was a little bit too heavy." "You don't know what you're getting yourself into." "People don't think of us very highly ... because of our particular job and because we live in caravans." "If this becomes public, no one will see the positive side, they always see the negative side." "...after having insulted him." "Mollo had only the force to cry for help and then he fell." "A terrible discovery ln Pistoia, the bodies of a woman and a little girl ... have been found in a car on a square ... behind the post office of Pleve Agnevoli in the province of Plstola, the two bodies found this morning are most probably mother and child," "from the first inquiries this appears to be a murder-suiclde." "And now let's talk about the weather..." "Come out, I have to..." "She's sleeping." "I have to show you something." "Didn't you see her in the park?" "No, I didn't notice anyone, maybe she was there, but I was looking for the dog." "I didn't see if there was anyone." "lt says something but I cannot read it." "Oh no, it is the date." "Yes, the date of the picture..." "We'll keep it and then we'll see." "How is she?" "She's asleep." "She's still sleeping." "Quietly." "Tairo." "Open up." "No, let me sleep." "Open the door." "What do you want?" "There's no school." "I know, but I need a favour, put on your shoes, come with me." "Why don't you let me sleep?" "Hurry up." "Old woman." "Come." "I was dreaming of Pamela Anderson." "Yes." "Wow, it poured all night." "God was crying." "What do you want?" "l need a favour." "Come with me and shut up." "Come." "How old is she?" "Two years, and maybe a few months." "Are you sure?" "Listen, you must go and buy napkins." "But I don't know what size." "Ask a woman in the shop." "And you must go to the market." "Go and buy something for her." "A pair of trousers, a shirt ... and maybe also a jacket, but not pink." "And pyjamas, because I don't know how to dress her." "I'll ask the shop assistant... I'll say she's two." "But it should be cheap." "Now we have even more expenses." "What's her name?" "She told me it's Aia." "What do you think Aia stands for?" "I have thought about it, and I think it's Asia." "Shall we call her Asia?" "She answers when I call her Asia." "Yes, Messaggero, Corriere, and what else?" "Tempo, Repubblica..." "Tempo and Repubblica, sure." "And then?" "Yes, I'Unita as well." "That's all." "is there a local newspaper for Rome?" "The Messaggero is a local newspaper, the Tempo as well." "Okay then." "I need napkins for a child, a little girl." "What size?" " A kilo, two kilos, three kilos, no idea." "is this what you need?" "These." "Are you sure?" "Alright." "Or maybe a bigger size?" "A bigger size?" "These here." "These." "Excuse me, where can I find a baby cream, you know, to change the baby..." "lt's on the other side." "No, what do you mean?" "The napkin cream." "Yes, on the other side." "No, it's here." "Come here." "Why?" "Come here." "No." "We'll go to see Tairo's nanny, nanny Gigliola." "You'll see, your mom will be back soon." "Wait." "Yes, she'll come, yes." "Why?" "Come here." "Why not?" "Give me your hand." "Don't be afraid, it's me, aunt Patty." "No." "Yes." "Come." "Let's go and see if Tairo is back." "No." "Come on." "Why?" "Mama is coming very soon, don't worry." "Now you are with aunt Patty." "No." "Give me your hand." "No, no." "Why don't you want to come with me anymore?" "What's wrong, sweetheart?" "Wait there." "You want me to wait here?" "Wait." "Away." "You want me to go away?" "What's your name?" "Aia." "Can you say that again?" "Aia." "lala?" "Yes." "Do you like it?" "They are called milk sweets." "Bite it." "Would you like another one?" "Mouth." "It's in your mouth." "This is my container." "Tairo's container." "This is where l sleep, do my homework." "Understand?" "I also have a bathroom." "Are you listening?" "Really?" "Do you want me to open it?" "And here, behind us, there's my grandma." "Grandmother Gigliola." "This is where Mirco lives." "He is the best uncle in the world." "Let's see if he is in." "Uncle." "Nobody here." "I'll show you Mirco's new home." "Mirco." "Are you there?" "Where are you?" "Nobody." "One." "Okay." "Two." "Come here." "Yes." "Over here, here." "What happened?" "Dry your hand." "Hello?" "Anybody there?" "I have some questions." "Please, come in." "This way?" "Sure, go ahead." "A woman who looks like her..." "You were here and you didn't see anything?" "I don't know if I can say." "But two days ago a youngster passed by." "He came down from there." "And I asked him what he was doing." "He was there, by the water and said:" ""l am looking for my daughter"." "A man." "A little girl." "A man looking for his little girl." "What was he like?" "Young, blond, dark, tall..." "He was not Italian." "Not Italian?" "As tall as me, maybe a little more." "Young, I don't know how old exactly..." "And you have never seen this woman?" "No, no." "Anyway, no one jumped off this bridge ... two days ago?" "I heard something." "About a year ago someone jumped off the bridge." "He drowned immediately." "Would you like any potatoes, Aia?" "Yes." "Potatoes." "Potatoes." "Potatoes, they go tic-tac." "Potatoes, they go..." "You are staying with me for a while." "You must learn to say "Go Juve."." "Say "Go Juve."" "Juve." "Good girl." "Say potatoes - no." "What do you say?" "Thank you." "I can't hear you." "Give water." "What do you say?" "Thank you." "Give water." "When you receive something, you must say thank you." "Look at that." "There you go." "We can leave it like this." "Granny will clean up." "You can eat with your hands." "Use both hands." "It's not hot." "Use both hands." "Did you like playing in the water, Asia?" "We're lucky that Walter has bought new clothes." "Turn." "Go straight." "Run." "No." "Never run away like that." "They'll run you down." "Mama." "I'm your mama." "No, mama." "Good morning." "Good morning." "How are you?" "Fine." "Good." "Are you hungry?" "Yes." "He?" "Hercules?" "Hercules." "Okay, something to eat for Aia and Hercules." "Yes." "Alright." "Just a minute." "Imagine she's nuts and is hiding the girl from her father." "I don't know." "The father would already have reported it, don't you think?" "Maybe she's a prostitute ... and the child was born ... from a "professional" relationship, so to say." "All possibilities are open." "What if she doesn't come to get her?" "The sooner she comes, the better." "Everything goes back to normal." "And what if she leaves her with us?" "She can't do that." "Why not?" "She's already doing it." "No, no, you don't get it." "If she doesn't show up very soon ... then I'll go to the Police, I'm not kidding, I don't want to go to prison for kidnapping." "You haven't kidnapped her." "You found her." "If the judge decides this is kidnapping ... and asks me for counter-evidence ... what are you going to do then?" "Anyone could have written that note." "Even you." "We found her in the park." "Sure, that's what you say." "And I say you took her from a pram." "What do you reply?" "I am the law, I am in the position to decide, not you." "Her name is Ciuppa." "Give her a sausage." "Give it to her." "Good girl." "Now give him a sausage." "Asia, sit down, Asia, come here." "Ciuppa, sit." "In there." "Good girl." "Give her a sausage." "Very good." "Now sit down and look what she can do." "Watch." "Here, here." "Good girl." "Put the head in there, in there." "Very good." "Who knows if the girl has been christened." "Well..." "Have you been christened?" "What do you want her to say?" "She's just a little girl." "Look." "Who's that?" "Uncle Walter?" "What have you done?" "A red nose..." "Grandpa Walter has a red nose." "Uncle Walter." "Only today, this afternoon ... we'll present our cheerful show." "Come plentiful and enjoy yourself." "Thank you." "Today only, this afternoon ... we'll present our cheerful show, here, on this square." "Don't miss this occasion." "Bring your children and enjoy yourself." "Everyone's asleep here." "Come, I'll catch you." "I'll catch you." "Put on your hood, it's cold." "Come here." "Go." "Okay, go down." "And then?" "I go down and then?" "You stand up again and slap me." "Let's do it again." "You have to do it twice, okay?" "If anyone of the gentlemen would like a shave, it's free." "Bobo." "Humanum est." "Almost." "Would you like a shave?" "Already shaved?" "If you want to, you can watch." "Left, the left is missing." "The left is missing." "The right, the right is falling, the right has fallen a long time ago." "Go with the left, it's waiting for you." "The right, the right, careful, Berlusconi is getting angry." "It's windy, Bobo." "Come on, come on." "Patty." "I think we can stop." "No one's coming anyway." "You are right, we did our best." "There were a few people walking by, at the beginning." "No one is coming anyway." "Let's go before it gets dark." "Before it gets dark." "Good girl, bring it over here." "Have you seen our new assistant?" "Yes, I have." "Hi, sweetheart." "Your milk." "Blow, it's hot." "And now eat." "I'll go and check the water." "Listen, come here." "Don't turn off the water, because I am washing." "Later, if you need it, you can use it, okay?" "Heidi, move out of the way." "Listen, I have just received a call." "From whom?" "Work." "A circus has called me, they want me to participate." "When?" "Now, immediately." "But that's impossible." "ln a week, ten days at the most." "What are you going to show?" "The goats." "Heidi, what are you doing here?" "They want me to bring the goats." "And what should I do with the little one?" "Patrizia, we need to work." "We work 3, 4 months a year, and then nothing for 8 months, we can't afford it, I'm not Onassis." "And now there's the girl, too..." "More expenses... I'm already fed up with this situation." "Whatever." "is this one broken?" "This place, it's like a mud fight, it reminds me of the First World War." "I must go now and work." "You must stay here, I'll give you money for the expenses, and then we'll have to find a solution, we have to find a solution for the little one." "We cannot keep her." "Her mother will come and get her, don't worry." "And what if she doesn't?" "She has dumped her child and who knows where she is now." "One." "Okay." "Your mama will come back." "No." "Mama will come back to Aia." "No." "Yes, yes." "No, here." "Don't you want to go with your mama?" "No." "I don't believe you, your mama will come back." "No." "Then you'll have to stay with me." "Do you want to stay with me?" "Yes." "Really?" "Forever?" "Yes." "One, two, three, hit the ball." "Good girl." "Kick it over to me." "There it goes." "Go over there." "Come on, Aia." "What's up?" "Go over there." "Back up, back up." "Ready?" "There it goes, run, run." "Aia good girl." "Kick it over to me, yes." "Go over there, back, further." "Back." "Okay." "Can't you change a tyre?" "You must be kidding." "I need some advice." "Shoot." "Show me how to fight." "You want me to show you?" "Yes." "Come, I'll show you right away." "I must protect myself." "So what?" "Do you need instructions?" "Of course." "Without hurting me." "First thing: is he taller?" "No, he's more or less like me." "Okay, then rule number one:" "never get too close." "If he goes like that, he'll hurt you." "He'll break my nose." "Try to keep away." "Second thing:" "if you fight, be determined." "You want to hurt." "Never play or he'll hurt you." "Close your fist." "You must close your fist tightly and press the thumb on it." "If you don't press the thumb tightly, it will hurt." "Try and hit me here." "See?" "It hurts." "It hurts like that, okay?" "So always be determined." "Keep away and hold your position in order to avoid him." "This is important, you must try to avoid his punches." "Why haven't you become a boxing teacher?" "Why, why, why?" "Because you are old." "Not too old for you." "Okay, come here." "Look with whom I am talking, asking for advice, I can't believe it." "Good boy." "Have you understood?" "This is rule number one." "Then there is another thing, when you are fighting ... and you are in trouble, and maybe there's someone else, maybe you have some friends nearby ... you look behind his shoulders, as if you were looking at someone else," "and you talk with your eyes saying "go get him"." "This will make him insecure, he thinks there's someone behind him." "As soon as you have that eye contact ... he goes like that, and this is your moment:" "You punch him right then." "Here, to get him down?" "When he is down, you stop." "Never kick anyone." "Even if I'm mad?" "No, never do that." "A gentleman doesn't kick." "You punch him until he falls." "When he's down, you let him stand up, and if he wants to go on, you go on." "Look: punch, I hit you." "Look at you." "Look to my right." "Not even Santa Claus wears this stuff." "Huh, parried." "Come, come closer, stop." "You look like Lino Banfi." "I will teach you something." "Put your foot down." "Cross your hand." "Look at your hand." "Which one do you use?" "Only this one, bang. I hit you." "See?" "Be careful." "You look like Lino Banfi." "Hit, see?" "Huh, Lino Banfi." "Smooth." "Stay here, you are fleeing, people will think you are afraid." "Of whom, of Santa Claus?" "Don't make me laugh." "With open hands, so we won't get hurt." "Can I tell you something?" "Go ahead." "If the Germans were all like you, no wonder they lost." "Really?" "For one German you need ten Italians, never forget that." "Never forget that." "Come on." "Look how slow he is." "This old man." "Come, come." "You're a little bastard, huh." "Didn't you know that?" "Come here." "One: never..." "Put your hand here, your fingers." "No." "Always remember what I told you." "Always show some respect." "Respect for the oldies." "No, also those your age." "But if someone offends you..." "Punch." "You have my authorisation to hit them." "Now do what I told you." "Look how strong you are." "l've got the stuff." "You had the stuff." "l have it." "I invented this, see?" "Do you need a nail?" "We must wait a little bit for Patty to come back." "Okay?" "Let's wait for Patty." "Let's see what we have here." "Do you like these?" "This is mine." "Good girl, put everything in there." "Very good." "That one too." "In there, but be careful, a nail." "Now I put it back." "Put it in there." "Just like that." "I close it." "Now try to pull it." "Try." "Very good." "You are strong." "Let me feel your muscles." "Here, your muscles." "Wow, you have big muscles." "Even here you have two huge muscles." "...economic certificates, forms 1 01 and 7 40, or pay packet." "Criminal records certificate of the applicants." "Have you been in prison?" "No." "Walter?" "No." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Affidavit or substitute declaration ... attesting that husband and wife ... applying for adoption are not separated, not even de facto." "Separated?" "No, come on." "The marrying couples, married at least since the declaration of..." "No, read it again, it doesn't make sense." "Okay, married couples, married at the moment of the declaration of availability, not separated or de facto separated, with an age difference of maximum 45 and minimum 1 8 years..." "This means we can't do it." "Go and get yourself something." "Tairo, don't say anything to anyone." "No, no." "It's a secret between you and me." "We can't do it anyway." "Would you like anything?" "Let's go to a nice place." "Asia." "Let's go to a nice place." "Okay?" "What's up?" "What do you want?" "Asia." "Come here." "Did you hear?" "The doggy and you, you have the same name." "Look, there's a little bird." "Look at the little bird." "Cheese..." "Smile, yes, good girl." "Perfect." "The picture is not so good." "Let's take another one. I'll help you." "Look, look..." "Smile, smile..." "Cheese." "Yes, good girl." "That's it." "Very good." "Hey, are you still there?" "Leave me alone." "Have you read the history chapter?" "Come on, I don't have much time, the little one is asleep." "Even when there's no school." "l don't have my glasses." "Gigliola." "May I borrow your glasses?" "They are on the table." "Come on, Tairo." "Which chapter is it?" "This one." "Okay, come on." "Have you read it?" "More or less." "Come on." "What?" "Tell me what you've read." "Explain it to me first." "Well, on June 1 0th 1 940 Italy entered war." "It declared war to France and Great Britain." "Mussolini was convinced that the war was over ... and that Hitler would win without him." "And that he would be left with nothing." "Come on, repeat." "On August 1 0th 1 940 Italy entered the war." "It declared war to France and Great Britain." "It declared war to France and Great Britain." "Mussolini thought he ... could win without Hitler." "I didn't say that." "Ah, that he could not win without Hitler." "No. I didn't say that either." "I said that Mussolini was afraid that Hitler ... would win the war without Italy, and Italy would be left with empty hands." "Understood?" "Okay." "Come on." "On the 1 0th 1 994..." "What?" "The 1 0th 1 994." "What are you saying, 94?" "40." "What are you saying?" "On June 1 0th 1 940, you said 94." "And then I said 40." "Come on, again." "On August 1 0th..." "August?" "Tairo, I don't have much time." "Try to understand what I'm saying." "Or I'll kick your bottom." "On June 1 0th 1 940... I am repeating it." "1 940." "What did he?" "Italy entered war with Great Britain and France." "But Mussolini was afraid that Hitler ... would conquer everything without us Italians, and that we would be left with nothing." "Yes, good." "But Mussolini..." "Listen to what Mussolini said:" ""l need a few thousand dead to be able ..." ""to sit at the winners' table." Just think..." "Big words..." "lt's such a stupid thing to say." "People should die so he could be a winner." "Such a stupid man..." "Well..." "Why did he enter the war?" "Who?" "Mussolini." "Because he said that..." "He said something very stupid." "Yes." "That he needed a billion dead..." "A billion?" "No." "Ten million." "No, not 1 0 million, some thousand dead to sit at the winners' table." "Hello?" "Come on, let me finish the match." "Why not?" "I'll be there in ten minutes or twenty." "Okay, bye." "Go in, inside." "Look Tairo, this is what we were studying." "Who is Frenacci?" "They are all..." "I don't have my glasses." "If you read here, they are his ministers." "Mussolini?" "There he is." "Why is he bald?" "What a stupid question." "Why aren't the others?" "Who is this?" "Hitler." "Look, Hitler and Himmler." "Look at that face." "Don't touch." "Who is this?" "Fra Peppino?" "Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt." "Christopher Columbus." "And Queen Isabella." "Was she black?" "No, maybe the wax has become darker." "He discovered America." "And now you tell me who this is." "Picasso." "Picasso?" "Who is this?" "He did the Mona Lisa." "Who painted it?" "Not Picasso, what's his name, Michelangelo." "No, not Michelangelo." "You can't even read." "This is Francisco Goya, he is Spanish, that one is Michelangelo Buonarotti, this is the Mona Lisa..." "Pablo Picasso, it's him." "This is Picasso, you have read all of them," "Leonardo da Vinci, goddamn." "It's Picasso." "No, this is Picasso." "If I explain it to her, she'll get it much quicker." "Listen, Aia, this is Leonardo a Vinci." "What a bad joke." "Let's go." "You are ugly and nasty today." "Never mind." "You look like him." "Come here." "Oh, it has flown away." "Let's shut this, and I'll sing you a lullaby." "Lulla..." "Wait, I can't remember." "Lullaby, lullaby whom shall I give this girl to I'll give her to the bogeyman who'll keep her for a whole year" "Lullaby, lullaby whom shall I give this girl to I'll give her to the little devil who'll keep her for a whole month" "No, better here, Aia." "Lullaby..." "Aia here." "I won't give you to the little devil." "It's just a lullaby." "Turn the key." "I don't want to drive." "Patrizia, you must do it." "You need the car." "If something happens to the little one you must be able to help yourself." "Goddamn." "Come on." "Turn the key, okay, now pull the lever towards you ... and push, okay, this is the first gear." "Release the hand brake, let go of the clutch without accelerating too much." "Go straight, straight, okay, go, you are doing fine." "Yes, perfect." "Slow down." "Listen to the engine, it is crying." "I am driving slowly, Walter." "But you keep accelerating." "This way?" "No, turn left." "No, I want to go this way." "Of course, turn left." "Stop." "I don't understand where to go." "Go, cross the street, first gear and go." "Damn it." "Slow down." "When I tell you to go, accelerate, release the clutch and go." "This way?" "Yes." "Don't move your hands, keep them on the steering wheel, turn right or left just like I say." "Turn right." "Okay." "Good." "Go, go, you have the right of way." "I know that, but what if they hit me?" "Patty, don't argue." "Go." "It's dangerous." "Pass, use the indicator." "Go, accelerate, change gear." "This way?" "Go." "Straight?" "Go, I'll tell you what to do." "I'll tell you when to turn left or right." "Do what I tell you, it's important." "Okay." "I don't get it:" "nobody can have a gun ... for he could kill a person." "But anyone can have a car and kill twenty people." "You are right." "Come, it's raining, hurry up." "Entry to the barracks on the other side" "Do you have time to go to the cinema today?" "Why not?" "I must baby-sit a girl." "Which girl?" "She's a cousin." "Who is she?" "Asia." "Who is she?" "A little girl." "How old is she?" "Two." "Tomorrow?" "No, not even tomorrow." "You never have time." "I can't, I'm busy." "Busy with a little girl for two weeks?" "Even longer." "That's strange." "Will you baby-sit her alone?" "No, with a friend." "Who?" "Patty." "Who is she?" "A redhead." "An old woman." "She can't baby-sit the child all alone." "She's too old." "I won't have time for you for another two weeks." "Not even to answer the phone." "Why?" "The battery is empty." "Empty for a week?" "Yes, I don't pay attention, I must baby-sit." "You are such an idiot." "Really?" "I'll break up with you." "If you behave like that I'll leave you." "Behave like what?" "Behave like a stupid girl." "Take your hand away." "Leave me alone." "Maybe if you find some time for me." "I'll leave you." "Do you want to stay here?" "Bye." "That's it then." "Another thing:" "I don't want to argue with you, but we must decide what to do with the little one." "If in a month, when I'm back, the mother hasn't shown up, I'll take her to the Carabinieri." "Take care of the animals." "Clean them every day, and feed them." "If you need anything, call me." "Don't worry, have a safe trip." "Take care." "Drive carefully, okay?" "Bye." "I'll call you when I get there." "I'll give you a call." "Bye, Patty." "Wait, Aia." "Let's go to the beach." "Don't bring it here, no, no." "Where shall I put it?" "Patty?" "I'm terrified of them." "Tairo." "Where shall I put it?" "Put it over there. ln the garden." "I'll put it on the table." "Up." "Come here." "Tairo." "Put it away." "Leave it there." "Let it go." "Have you seen the grasshopper?" "I'm scared." "Are you scared?" "Are you scared of grasshoppers?" "Really?" "Me too." "Tairo, put it there." "Asia, this way." "Wait, I'll hold it." "May I have a piece?" "Don't eat it all." "It's useless." "For me?" "A piece for me?" "Hello, Walter?" "Hi, how are you?" "Have you arrived?" "I'm glad to hear that." "No, this morning we went to Ostia, to the beach." "Just for a walk." "Now she's falling asleep, that's why I'm whispering." "No, Tairo has gone to see his father." "To the circus. lt's nearby." "He needs to see his father from time to time." "Okay, I'll call you again." "Yes, okay, bye." "They bite." "No, they're licking me." "No, they bite." "Let's go inside." "Ok, go on." "Look at that one." "It catches you immediately." "lt's biting me." "Rocky, go." "What did he say?" "Nothing, he just did this..." "Did you wash?" "Are you kidding?" "He washes once a month." "Let's go, hey." "Go, Zeus, go." "Go, Darta." "Go, Bobo, go." "Tairo, out of the way." "Sultan." "Rocky, go." "Good luck, uncle." "Thank you." "Do we need to turn it?" "No." "It's not necessary." "Please, help me take the other one over there." "I'll wash them and store them." "What are you doing?" "Nothing, I was thinking." "Tell me." "Have you solved the problem with the electricity?" "No, they don't want us to have it." "It's a big problem." "What do you mean?" "They don't want to fill the form to apply for it." "If you don't have the form, you don't get electricity." "They say it's expired." "They want a new one." "And the renewal is a problem, I don't know why." "Don't you think it's an excuse, Gigliola, just to throw us out?" "That's just what we need." "Gigliola, you have been here for thirty years." "That's what I told them." "The children were born here, have gone to kindergarten, have attended school, have become fathers," "damn it, I've grown old here." "Who the hell are these?" "May we come in?" "Sure." "Can I help you?" "Good evening, madam." "Police." "We are just checking." "Please." "May we?" "Sure." "What exactly are you checking?" "The animals." "The vehicles." "Let me out..." "Out..." "These are the vehicle papers." "Officer, please check these animals." "Here are the documents of the caravan, the wagon, and the lorry." "The vehicle papers are okay, Officer." "Excuse me, madam, whose lorry is the one over there?" "It's not mine, it belongs to the woman who lives there." "How many people live here?" "Me and my husband." "And the little girl?" "She is my niece's daughter." "I am babysitting for a few days." "What's her birth date?" "She was born ... in 2005." "In 2005." "So she doesn't live here?" "No." "On camelback." "Go." "Walter found it." "Don't take her food." "No, I don't want to." "See." "No, stop it." "Why?" "Don't you want to ride on the camel?" "She doesn't want to sit on the camel." "Down, down." "I swear, the box was here, all over here, up till there, very high." "What the heck was in it?" "They removed it as soon as people started to protest." "Let's go and see the other digs over there." "Go away." "They'll build houses here." "Do they put boxes in houses?" "There was a huge box." "How could they remove it?" "Don't you see, they dug all around it ... and then they wanted to cover it up." "What are you doing today?" "Nothing." "I'm staying at home." "Want to play soccer on the play station?" "This way?" "Want to play soccer on the play station?" "No." "Why not?" "We are playing soccer at David's." "Look, CDs." "Throw them away." "It's worse than in Naples." "Jesus, so many CDs." "Catch the ball, catch the ball." "Good girl." "Take it and throw it." "Great." "Catch it again." "Throw." "Throw it in the air, go." "Have you seen, Patty?" "Yes." "Patty, it's your turn." "Now I throw it in the air." "He's so tiny, look at those hands." "Look mine." "Of course, you are 1 4." "Look what I found." "What have you found?" "Look." "Patty." "Another gift." "Who is it?" "I've found him." "Hi, look at that smile." "l found him." "Come on." "Tell her, near the dig." "I don't believe you." "lt's the truth." "Who is it?" "lt's true." "I don't believe you." "I believe you and you don't believe me?" "Who is it?" "Come on, it's Donald." "This means Tania is here?" "I'll go and say hello." "Hello." "He's changed a lot since the last time I saw him." "Careful, it's cold, bring him inside." "Hi Donald, I'll come and see you very soon." "Luciano..." "lt was no big deal." "A missile, wow." "Tairo too?" "I'm too big." "How long have you been living in Italy?" "Oh, it's been a long time. 1 4." "1 4 years." "1 4 years." "That's my age." "How old are you?" "1 4." "When you arrived in this world, I arrived here." "Look carefully, this is a ball." "How many balls?" "One." "Another one, look, two." "Another one, finish." "So it's two." "Now it's here." "How many?" "Two." "Two." "Good." "One, two, and now three." "Look carefully." "Two." "One, two, and three." "Two." "One in my pocket, another one here." "Blow, good girl, now two, okay." "Another here." "One, two, three, finish." "Madam, how much is this?" "40 Euro?" "40." "Can I see it?" "is it hand-knitted?" "Sure, I made it." "Incredible." "Wonderful." "is this ok for a two year old?" "Sure." "Dirty bitch." "A letter?" "Who's it from?" "She'll come and pick her up on Thursday?" "How come?" "Does she say why?" "Well, of course I'm happy, if the mother takes her back, this means less trouble for us." "But she'll have to tell me her full name because I want to check on her." "No, you don't need to come back, don't worry, I'll handle it." "We'll have a farewell party." "With a cake." "And champagne." "She'll have a good time." "What if we took her to the funfair tomorrow?" "Okay." "We've only got two days left, right?" "Yes." "I'll take her inside, it's going to rain and it's cold." "Come, sweetheart, come." "Can she stay with me for a little while, Patty?" "My head." "Turn over and let's sleep." "How are you?" "You have incredible hair, madam." "There we go, thank you for visiting the Happy Island." "Hey, this is my boy." "Do you remember him, guys?" "He is one of us, a lion tamer." "Luana, may we?" "Please, be our guests." "Here, some coins." "What a beautiful girl you are." "There's Aia." "Oh, a picture." "Great." "Do you want to try this?" "Let's turn." "Tairo, what have you done?" "Asia, I won these for you." "How beautiful." "And these as well." "Patty, where are you?" "Oh my God, I can't move anymore." "Hold on." "Where's Patty?" "Come here." "Come here." "No." "Let's go, she doesn't want to stay anymore." "You tumbled." "I'm hot." "Let's go." "Bye Luana, thank you so much." "Don't you kiss him?" "Give him a kiss, too, come on." "Bye." "Antonio." "We kiss everyone." "Bye, Patty." "Say hi to "Walter deutsch"." "Merry-go-rounds." "They are closed now, there are no children anymore." "They've all gone home for lunch." "Aia is eating, too, now." "Sure, come on." "No, Tairo." "She's too heavy, take this ball, it's too much." "Okay, let's go." "How you tumbled." "We can say that the whole time the little one has been with us, she's had fun." "We have taken her here and there... I even took her to a Pizzeria." "Really?" "Yes." "It's better she enjoyed herself, as ... not everyone has a happy childhood." "How was yours?" "Maybe my childhood would have been happy, if my father hadn't died when I was eight." "Nothing was the same after that." "But I remember your childhood." "You made us burst with laughter." "It was sad, too, because when your parents ... broke up, you wanted to die." "I wanted to die?" "Yes, yes." "You used to climb up the body of a lorry, a metre and a half or two metres high," "and wanted to jump off." "You used to say: "l want to die..."" "It's not that funny." "No, but the way you said it ... would make us burst into laughter." "Then we would say:" ""No, Tairo, don't die, don't jump, we love you."" ""Your father loves you ... and your mother does too."" "So you would climb down slowly." "But once you really scared us." "I don't know how you did that, you climbed onto the cabin of a lorry and stood on its roof." "It was 4 or 5 metres high, and you were only three, if you had jumped off, you would have hurt yourself." "But we managed to convince you, by saying "we all love you."" "And now and then you would say:" ""l want to die..."" "And so on..." "A metre and a half..." "So your childhood is gone, too." "My childhood: puff." "Look at this." "You look younger." "I am really handsome." "Well, of course." "Aia, come see the picture." "There seems to be a spot on her face." "The little one doesn't..." "She didn't expect it." "Very nice." "I'll keep this as a memento." "Give me your hand." "Only Asia?" "Yes, Asia." "A S I A." "Closed." "Who's this?" "Cow." "No, it's not a cow." "No, no cow." "It's a hippopotamus." "Hipopomus." "What?" "What's his name?" "Hipopomus." "Hipopomus?" "This is another hippopotamus." "There two." "Two." "Okay, that's enough." "It's a new dress." "Well, I thought it was a mini-skirt." "Open." "No, I won't open the window, it's cold." "Isn't this nice, Aia, look." "is it big enough?" "Hope so." "is it big enough?" "Who knows." "Let's see." "What a beautiful skirt." "You know what, we'll put it on like that." "Like I taught you." "Close your hand, put it in here, open, good girl, but here..." "Again." "Again, again." "Close your hand, put it in here, open your hand..." "Wait, don't move." "One, turn around, now the other one, pretty..." "Have you seen those beautiful butterflies?" "Keep still, don't move, Aia." "How beautiful." "What a wonderful cake." "I asked to write Asia on it." "Isn't Popo coming?" "No idea, he must be over there." "We'll start eating the cake." "Call Popo." "And your grandma." "For she's a jolly good girlie, which nobody can deny" "Which nobody can deny" "But she can also be a pain in the neck." "There she goes." "Popo." "What have you done?" "I brought a little present for Asia." "What present, Popo?" "Which one do you want?" "This one?" "Easy, easy..." "What have you done, Popo, how can we get rid of them now?" "I can't keep all four." "Come." "What are you doing?" "We are having a farewell party for Asia." "Really?" "Asia, are you leaving us?" "No." "She doesn't want to leave." "No wonder." "I was working, look." "Sure, it's nothing special, I organised this to make her happy." "Hold this, ready?" "Make it go off." "Should we make it go off, Asia?" "Okay, get your glasses ready, we're toasting to Asia." "What should we toast to for Asia?" "To her future." "Yes, a nice toast." "To a wonderful future, right." "For our little friend, who came to stay for a while." "Has everyone had?" "No, I haven't." "A little bit for Aia, too." "No, Aia no." "Cheers, let's say cheers." "Hold your glass and say cheers." "To Aia and her future." "Don't, you are hurting her." "Do we look alike?" "Sure." "Tairo, she's crying, give her the monkey." "Come on, give her the monkey." "It's Aia's." "I don't understand why every time I talk about her mother, she says no." "is she awake?" "Yes." "Do you want to go to your mama?" "It's dark, damn it." "In ten minutes it will be dark." "She's not coming." "She's fallen asleep." "Translation:" "Sabina Fata"
