"Help!" "...clashes between protesters and police carried on all night downtown Rome is in a state of siege." "Unauthorized protests took place this morning in other Italian cities as well." "The situation is very critical, as you already know." "Let's get a closer look at what's happening through our correspondents..." "They're taking it out on these protesters who struggle to find housing and work, it is unacceptable!" "Those who can't afford to pay rent or mortgages, those who live at home with their parents are here protesting..." "This crisis originated in the USA, it's worse in the USA, serious intervention is necessary in the USA." "European stock markets plummet along with the American stock market..." "Economists are rather concerned about a recession in the USA." "Credit institutions are in the spotlight, top managers are being fired from major American financial institutions." "Sub-prime loans are taking their toll, in fact, Wall Street lost 2 points yesterday actually over 2 points in NASDAQ affecting Europeans markets this morning, which opened on a bad note." "I see signs of..." "OK guys, that's enough for today, come with me to my office." "Here's your money, we won't be needing you anymore." "Hey Davide." "Hi Roberto." "What's up?" "How are things?" "Same as always." "Those assholes axed you?" "While looking through your paperwork" "I noticed they never even insured you." "Like what happened to your dad." "It pisses me off every time I think about it." "What'll you do now?" "Look for a job." "See those houses?" "Know who lives there?" "No." "People with balls of steel who don't need favors from anyone." "You wanna live like a pauper in this dump?" "I have an important political plan in mind Davide." "It'll change the lives of me, you, and all our friends." "How so?" "Roberto, how's the stuff?" "Good." "Excellent!" "Hello?" "What?" "No, I'm working." "What do you want?" "I came here to give you two presents:" "a big one and a small one." "The big one represents the state, the small one represents the county." "Do you know what those are?" "What are they?" "Is Luca there with you?" "Put him on." "Hi honey!" "Mom will be home soon." "Once I get elected..." "you know you're like a brother to me." "You guys will have it made, you'll be set!" "I'll settle your problem too." "I'll be home before you fall asleep, yes." "Bye honey!" "He's cool, I like him." "He's a good guy..." "Roberto, don't disappoint us." "Enough chitchat." "Let's hear it for councilman Roberto." "Showtime!" "Coming!" "It's the second time you've come around this week." "You in trouble?" "Fucking hell, Davide," "I've known you all your life." "It seems like only yesterday you came here as a kid with your dad." "I remember that time me and your dad were slaughtering a pig." "You watched from afar because the pig's squeals scared you." "It squealed like hell!" "Your dad hated the fact that you were afraid, so once the pig was slaughtered he doused you with a bucket of its blood!" "That man beat the shit out of you!" "At times, you could barely walk!" "But you've always been tough." "Look at you, healthy and strong!" "Not like these kids today." "As I always say give them less food and make them work 10 hours a day!" "Then they'll stop loafing around!" "Here's one now!" "A steady stream of wussies here!" "Hey gramps!" "Who's the pain in the ass?" "Don't you dare call him "pain in the ass"!" "Here." "Gimme the money and scram!" "Thanks." "Fuck you!" "Fuck you!" "Don't judge me, Davide!" "I'm tired." "What kind of trouble are you in?" "I got fired." "That's no big deal!" "You're young." "Get busy!" "Hello?" "Who is this?" "Mrs. Marini from Multicredit Bank." "How are you?" "Fine, thanks." "Were you still sleeping?" "It's a gorgeous day!" "My daughter just returned from Barcelona where it rained for a week!" "Have you ever been to Spain?" "You should go, maybe on vacation this year." "Yeah..." "Could you pass by the bank today?" "No, I can't today." "Tomorrow?" "I'm not sure I can..." "Well, I think you should find the time to stop by as soon as possible." "You missed another payment on the house mortgage your father took out, if you don't make a payment soon..." "I know." "I know this is unpleasant but let's deal with it, for your own sake." "So that the bank doesn't take actions against you." "Yes, all right." "Well, I advise you to stop by soon." "I'm sure we'll find..." "Are you Carlo?" "I heard you're looking for a warehouse stocker..." "No." "We're about to close shop..." "We can barely get by." "Sorry." "We can place the blame on adjustable-rate mortgages which have increased the cost of monthly payments" "The cost of living has risen but salaries have not..." "Even though I posed for a nude calendar" "I'm still the same girl I used to be." "I think all girls should do it..." "Be quiet!" "Quiet!" "Alberto?" "Alberto!" "Alberto!" "Alberto?" "Alberto?" "Hi, can I have a beer?" "GIRL MISSING" "I bet that little bitch is worth a fortune!" "Nobody asked for ransom money yet." "It's only a matter of time." "Not sure what happened." "A local businessman's daughter disappeared a few days ago." "They have no idea where she is." "Good morning, I'm calling about the job ad." "I'd like to interview." "Tomorrow?" "At what time?" "Davide!" "Davide!" "Hey Franco!" "You busy?" "No." "Want to take a spin?" "How's the job search going?" "No luck so far." "Money is the last of your worries." "There's always a solution." "You're friends with the old dude..." "So you're friends with the old dude?" "What old dude?" "The one who lives alone in the mountains." "I hear he has better prices than this dickhead!" "No idea." "Look at that shithead!" "How does it feel to have it all?" "Huh?" "You've got it all... money, opportunities... education..." "How does it feel to live like that?" "I don't think about it." "Before this, I used to study and go out with friends." "I never thought about it..." "Know what the theory of relativity states?" "That light is curved." "I didn't know that!" "I heard it on the radio today." "They said very few people are capable of understanding it." "Maybe that's why it's called "relativity"!" "What do you think you're doing?" "I have lots to do today." "I won't be home for lunch." "Are you a good cook?" "I always wondered what my mom's cooking would've been like." "I never wondered what our relationship would've been like or how she would've raised me." "Nope" "I always wondered what her cooking would've been like!" "Eat something, I made it for you." "Hello?" "Yes, speaking..." "Yes, the interview this morning..." "Yes, confirmed, I'll be there for the interview." "Repeat the name?" "Marco." "He'll be in the office?" "Thank you!" "Goodbye." "Problems with work?" "What's up?" "I have an important job interview today." "I'm doing it for you, too to offer you a better future." "Listen, I can help you with just one call..." "I could call my dad he owns a company." "Thanks, but I'm used to fending for myself." "There's nothing wrong with asking for help." "Thanks for the offer but I already have a job interview." "I have to go." "OK." "Let's see..." "Manual labor, warehouse stocker..." "Have you ever worked in an office?" "No, but it's always been my main goal." "I just haven't had the opportunity." "You know what the problem is?" "From what I can see on your CV, you don't have a degree." "No, I don't." "But I'm looking for steady work so I can afford to enroll and get a degree in Business Economics" "Right..." "Where do you picture yourself in 3 years?" "Sitting at a desk with my name plate on it." "Well... thanks for coming." "I'll let you know what I decide." "Our company prefers candidates with a degree..." "Make sure to file this, please." "Yes, sir!" "Is this an interview?" "Yes, we just finished." "Well, good luck then!" "Thanks." "Goodbye." "He's the CEO..." "I'm sure you read about his daughter in the papers." "Any leads on her?" "Nope!" "Anyway, thanks again." "Goodbye." "If you yell I'll kill you." "I saw your father." "Don't worry, I didn't hurt him." "I didn't hurt him." "But he seemed really worried about you." "He seems like a good guy." "We shook hands... and chatted..." "I wished him luck with his problems." "A man like him has plenty of resources to protect his loved ones." "Actually, you know what?" "Let's give him a call now, OK?" "I don't know his number, you need to dial it." "Don't betray my trust though." "Will you behave?" "Are you a good girl?" "What's wrong?" "What a pity, no money left on my phone." "Quiet!" "Quiet, be good." "I'll go add some minutes to my phone now." "Your father has the right to hear your voice." "Be right back..." "What are you doing all dressed up?" "Nothing." "Where are you going?" "Home!" "Come take a spin!" "Your friend came to a sticky end." "Who?" "The old dude!" "He was found dead, alone at home." "They confirmed he died of a heart attack but the odd thing is someone ransacked his house." "What a mess!" "First that girl disappears, now the old dude." "My friend this place is starting to stink of death!" "What's going on?" "Someone's here, someone came in!" "Did you see who?" "No, it was too dark." "I'll take a look." "You're right, someone came in." "But don't worry." "So long as I'm here, you're safe." "We both need to get some rest now." "Sleep." "Hey, how's it going?" "Same old." "I have good news for you." "See?" "I'm looking out for you..." "I think I found a solution for your financial issues." "Remember this name" "Dr. Zanasi." "He's a friend." "Go see him, he's expecting you." "Is it for a job?" "Nice to meet you, I'm Zanasi" "I've been expecting you." "Follow me." "Roberto came to me because he trusts me." "Discretion is what sets me apart from the others and that's why we've been associated for all these years!" "Roberto's father is a trustworthy person as well." "My point is anything we say in this room today" "will stay in this room." "I know you're having financial issues, you have some debts." "I know what the total sum is." "I also know you went through some hard times due to your father's illness years ago." "You were just a kid and kids shouldn't have to go through such hardships, if you ask me." "You know how it hurts to watch a family member suffer, right?" "The anguish that increases day by day at home..." "I'm not trying to dredge up your pain." "Time will never heal that pain." "Never!" "I understand you." "Know why I understand you?" "Because this time, destiny has struck one of my relatives." "A girl who urgently needs a transplant." "Naturally, bureaucracy is slowing down the process." "But you seem to be... the right person." "Roberto spoke very highly of you." "Don't you worry about a thing, I'll handle it all!" "It only seems fair to offer such a young ambitious guy a way out of his problems." "Don't worry!" "It'll be fine, the big boss always lands on his feet." "See you tomorrow at work." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "We've met before." "You requested supplies..." "No, I interviewed for a job." "Oh, right!" "Would you like a drink?" "No, thanks." "I don't want to bother you." "I just wondered if you had any news about my interview" "I realize this isn't the right place to ask..." "No problem." "As you know this is a rough time, very rough... the few people who are being hired tend to be highly specialized so..." "I understand." "In any case, keep us posted on your progress." "I'd gladly accept future applications from you." "Sure, goodbye." "Good luck." "Hey!" "Hi." "Nice place, huh?" "Real nice." "I haven't been here in ages." "I used to come here to fish." "I caught some huge fish!" "Look, there's one now." "It's enormous!" "Well, shall we go?" "Where?" "This isn't the safest of places." "Let's go down there, it's quieter." "Sure, let's go." "Sure." "I have an idea." "This way you and I can keep in touch until the company starts hiring again." "The other day a co-worker saw you leave my office." "I'm not sure if he's mistaken but he said you know someone a guy I might want to contact..." "Well, unless you tell me the name I won't know who you're talking about." "Right, his name is Franco." "He's a big guy with a goatee." "Yes, I know him." "Here?" "Real nice place." "Well, if he knew I wanted to meet with him he'd be very interested in hearing my requests." "I see." "Let's say" "I'd also be interested in hearing your requests we might even get better results this way." "Perfect, OK." "Sorry for interrupting you." "No problem." "This is fine!" "So, What'll we do?" "What about that job at your company..." "Well, I don't know..." "Man, I was just kidding!" "Oh, OK!" "I have everything you need, coke." "Hash and coke will do." "I'd like you to wear this for me." "I'll sit here..." "I want you to get up and model it for me." "The one time I ask you to do something, can't you just do it?" "I take care of you, feed you, and all you do is whimper!" "Cry as much as you want, we have all the time in the world." "That's a perk of being unemployed plenty of time for yourself!" "You sure are stubborn." "I could hold out for days, don't know about you..." "How about this you model it for me" "and I'll cook up a gourmet meal?" "Good girl." "Good girl." "Now put it around your neck..." "Like that." "Around your neck..." "Now tum around." "Good girl." "Like that..." "Model it for me." "Model it for me." "Yes..." "Like that." "Great!" "See?" "It's not so bad!" "Yes!" "Good girl!" "Now tell me what you want for dinner." "Stay still!" "Stay still!" "Don't say a word!" "Hey Davide!" "Everything OK?" "Yes." "I'm glad." "I have great news!" "Remember that chat we had about my nomination in the election?" "Can we talk about it tonight?" "I'm busy now." "Why tonight?" "I came here specifically..." "We'll talk later, I'm busy with house repairs." "We'll talk about it at the bar tonight." "You're rude!" "I came here specifically to sign this form," "I need 10 people to work for me collecting signatures so I'll get elected." "What do I have to do?" "Sign?" "Yes, sign your full name!" "No big deal." "There." "Happy?" "Yes." "Bye." "What now?" "I heard some strange sounds." "The TV is on." "Doesn't sound like the TV..." "I said it's the TV." "See you tonight." "Something's up." "Can I come in and see?" "I'm worried about you." "Everything OK?" "Doing house repairs?" "What's going on?" "Who's there?" "What the fuck..." "Where are you going?" "I have a work meeting!" "A work meeting?" "They're raising a real dust about that girl who disappeared." "Yeah..." "What are people saying about it here?" "Nothing." "Nobody's asking questions or starting rumors?" "No." "I see." "Those morons in town concern me." "They're always looking for trouble... hear anything from them?" "What have they said?" "No, nothing." "Keep your ears to the ground." "OK." "There's a shitstorm in my office." "Really?" "The Commander's pissed off." "Nobody gives a shit about the old dude, but he wants us to find that girl." "Her father's a bigwig, a business man, he's a nuisance." "He hired private investigators, so don't screw up, lay low!" "OK." "Listen... is she still at your place?" "Yes." "I'll stop by tomorrow afternoon." "Let me have her for a half hour, OK?" "Go on!" "And get a job!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Open up!" "Go away!" "Please, let me have a normal life!" "I told you to be careful and not screw up!" "Get lost, I'll handle this." "Make sure you're home tonight, I have some plans for you." "THE GIRL'S BODY WAS NEVER FOUND THE CASE IS STILL OPEN." "THE CASE STILL OPEN." "WAITER WANTED." "Hello, I saw the sign out front." "Still looking for a waiter?" "This sure is a nice place..."
