"We'll talk about that later." "No, not now." "All right, I'll tell you later." "The living room is completely wet." "The whole house, it's a mess!" "I have to get dressed."

" Watch out!" " Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Go on, I'll park and catch up with you." "Is Luca Cristiani here?" "You can't go in." " Doctor!" " Yes, Who are you?" "How is he?" "Are you a relative?" " His brother?" " No, tell me how he's doing." "Are you a relative or not?" "No, Luca is my boyfriend." "How is he?" "Listen, I can't..." "I'm busy, I'm sorry." "Tell me how he's doing!" " Tell me!"

"Listen, this is the law." "I am only allowed to talk to relatives." "I am a relative!" "I'm sorry..." "You are not a relative." " Detective!" " Yes doctor..." " This is a hospital, no smoking ." " Okay, you're right." " Smoking isn't allowed in hospitals." " That's right." "But that's not the point, think about your health." "Smoking isn't bad for the hospital." "It's bad for you!" "I've tried to give up." "But with my job..." "Without a cigarette in my hand," "I get very nervous." "Everyday those things make it harder for you to breathe." "Trust me, quit smoking." "Thanks, Doctor." "I'll try." "Detective..." "Goodbye." "He caught the detective!" "He can't quit smoking." "Yes, I'm at the hospital." "News from the press agencies?" "Who?" "Are you sure?" "Yes, I see but..." "Okay, I'm staying here." "But how can I..." "Ruggeri went where?" "Okay, okay." "Yes, I can hear you but... maybe you should..." "I can hear you, I'm here." "He saw too much." "Interview the witness?" "He's in intensive care." "I'll ask how long it will take, but they'll never let me in." "Now His Eminence has arrived!" "Caruso, please." "We need to know." "We need to know if he's still alive." "How the hell would I know?" "Back off." "Come on, tell us something." "Let us do our job." "I have to do mine too." "Do you realize they killed the Home Office undersecretary?" "He's in surgery, they said he'll be all right." "That's good." "Can I do anything for you?" "No thanks." "I can stay here, if you want." " There's no problem." " No." "I'm staying all night." "I want to stay too, I have nothing else to do." "No..." "I want to be alone." "Do you understand?" "Hello?" "I'ts Marcucci."

"I don't know, what do I do now?" "What did you found out?" "Yes, I can hear you." "Was it one man or a group?" "No, there are no other witnesses." "Who?" "Yes send him." "Where did they take Raimondi?" "You could ask what's his name..." "You know, the detective." "I think there's a tragedy behind it." "Sure, they picked their target and the scene!" "Right!" "Any statements?" "Too early?" "Who's working on it?" "There's nothing else for me to do here." "His family lives in another town and he wasn't married." "There's no one." "What a fucking way to go." "You're walking home from work and you get shot to death." "Yes, both of them..." "This guy had nothing to do with it!" "It was at the wrong place at the wrong time." "It's insane." "I know." "I guess it's pointless to stay here." "I should go to the scene, shouldn't I?" "Maybe I could talk to the police chief." "SPECIAL ISSUE URGENT!" "HOME OFFICE UNDERSECRETARY," "MARCO RAIMONDI..."

"Is there anything I can do?" "Is something wrong?" "Maybe I can help." "What happened?" "Do you want something stronger?" "Some whisky?" "Rum?" " A whisky would do." " All right." "I'll keep you company." "I could tell as soon as I saw you." "She left you." "There's another man." "But you still love her!" "Everyone knows that love hurts." "You know how many people I've seen in here?" "Hundreds of hopeless and broken hearts." "But no one has ever died from it!" "A broken heart has never killed anyone!" "Remember that song "love Can't Kill You"?" "That band of idiots with bell-bottom trousers sang it." "Love can't kill you..." "It's the greatest thing that..." "No, that wasn't it." "Let me tell you a story that will make you feel better." "My cousin, Eugenio..." "Listen up, my cousin Eugenio is a great kid." "He's an easy-going guy." "Well, his wife left him, you see?" "He said: "good morning, darling"." "She replied: "goodbye, darling"." ""I'm going, I'm leaving you." "I never want to see you again!"" "They never had a big argument before, just little ones." "But that's love for you." "She just left him like that..." "My cousin was so upset." "Really upset." "Later on he came here and you know what he said?" "It was better that way." "It was for the best." "For the best, he said." "He made a new life for himself." "For the best, that's what he said." " Can I..." " How much do I owe you?" "Nothing, it's on the house." "The till is closed." "Thanks." "Will you be all right?" "Is there anything else I can do for you?" "You're all right?" "Good luck." "Come here, you shit." "INCOMING CALL:" "MOM" " Hello?" " Luca!" "So it's not true!" "It was a joke!" "Madam..." "Madam, it's Paolo." "What are you doing?" "Put Luca on." " Put Luca on!" " Calm down Maria." "Sir, it's Paolo." "I don't know how it happened, Luca..." "Luca's dead." "What are you doing with Luca's telephone?" "Leave him alone, understand?" "Calm down, Maria..." "Why are you saying that?" "Luca and I are together." "I love him." "Just get out of my life!" "Go away!" "Leave that house!" "It's not yours, it's Luca's." "You lived off him for years." "It's time for you to leave, got it?" "Just leave." "Honey?" "I know I've waken you up, it's very late." "Did you hear what happened?" "You didn't hear?" "It's horrible." "A politician was killed" "and so was Luca." "Luca, the lawyer." "He was just passing by." "He must have seen the killers so they shot him." "They killed him." "I need help too, Toni." "Where are you right now?" "Just walking around!" "I can't go home!" "For fuck's sake!" "All that blood on the ground, these bodies!" " Please!" " I can't come now." "I can't, I'm working tomorrow morning." " I know you're working." " Francesca please!" "Don't you realize what happened?" "I'm begging you." "Where are you?" "You're with her, aren't you?" "No more jealous fits." "Hello, honey?" "Problems?" "Paolo!" "Paolo!" "wait!" "Wait, Paolo!" "I'm so glad to see you." "How are you doing?" "You don't help me." "You can't help me." "For the best..." "I called you on your mobile but you didn't answer." "I told him to hurry up." "I made him hurry, I told him to hurry home." "If he had only been five minutes later..." "What are you saying?" "I told him to hurry up." "I made him do it." "Stop that." "If I hadn't done that, he'd have get home later." "But I..." "If I hadn't done that, he'd still be alive." "Stop that, please!" "Let's go home." "I don't have a home anymore." "I know how you feel, but..." "Stop saying you know how I feel." "You don't know." "I'm not going back to that house." "And even if I wanted to, I couldn't." "Why not?" "Luca's mother kicked me out." "After all, it's her house." "That house has always been both of yours." "Not according to his mother or his father." "Or according to the law." "I don't know if they've ever realized..." "I know I'm the one who corrupted Luca, but..." "Luca means everything to me and I mean everything to him, we're our only family." "We can go through this together." "Please, let's go home." "I need to hear his voice." "I need to see his face, I need to touch his hands." "I'm alone now." "So am I." "I'm alone now too." "I always have been." " It's near here." " Where?" " Nearby." " How many people were killed?" "One, two, three." "It's all the same to you !" "Fuck you!" "I just saw it on the news as I was walking out." "It's all they talk about for months." "Anyway, it's near home." " Who's that?" " I'm not leaving anymore." " Hi!" "." " Hi." " How are you doing?" " Fine, what about you?" "Who's he?" "It's a surprise!" "Come on." "Let's go." "Hello !" "Come on, let's go." "We won't stay long." "Hi." "Thank you!" "Don't you recognize me?" "I am your country, I am Italy!" "Italy is full of problems!" "My main one is that I don't understand our national anthem." "For instance, I wake up and everyone is singing!" ""Italy has arisen!"" "What's so amazing about that?" "And I'm always so lonely!" "I only have one friend, Victory." "But I can never find her!" ""Where's Victory?"" ""Where's Victory?"" "Her mobile phone is always off." "Then when she is found they say:" ""Let her bow down."" "But she's already short as it is!" "Foreigners always say:" ""Italy is so beautiful."" "Me, beautiful?" "If I'm beautiful, Poland must be really ugly!" "Actually, I'm not that bad." "I have nice shoulders, the Alps..." "I'm a little flat here, the Po river valley." "I'd like to stand up straight, but the Apennines are so crooked." "The only nice thing to see is my Holy See." "I do have some fans." "Like Europe, for instance" "Europe is always wooing me, but I'm always telling her:" ""Europe, don't expand!"" "There's a lot of quarreling in Europe." "France says I copied her flag colors." "Germany won't speak to me anymore because I told her she's gained weight over since her unification." "After all I've done for Spain throughout history the only value they give us is in "Valuencia"!" "But they always invite me to Brussels." "But instead of taking the train to Brussels, I take a coach." "A coach?" "Coach!" "Where's my coach?" "How about you?" "Would you be my coach?" "With that manly face of yours?" "I'd bet you can drive a coach!" "Can you help me out?" "You can't drive?" "You'll give me a lift, won't you?" "No?" "Then as usual," "Italy will have to take her coach alone." "Thank You;" "You've never really drunk whiskey before tonight?" "No, and I had whisky, beer..." "How can you still be standing?" " I don't know." " Do you like it?" "I don't know that either." "Once I got dead drunk!" "I was totally trashed!" "Four years ago with the team." "We were somewhere near Trento for a match." "We drank so much grappa." "The other guys were just faking it." "But I wasn't, I was drinking." "They were always drinking out of the same glass, while I kept asking for more." "They had to carry me out." "I'm not kidding." "I was trashed!" "So you've got a lot of friends." "Well, yes..." "You could call some of them friends." "In the club we were just in?" "Yes, I know some of them." "What did you think?" "Nice place, isn't it?" "Well, you're not feeling well because of that whisky." "But we can go back there and dance." " Dance?" " Yes, on Saturdays." "There's a good D.J. every second and fourth Saturday." "Do you dance?" "Yes." "You'd just better not drink!" "Anyway, I don't like dancing the whole night away." "Some people dance until they're out of it." "I just like dancing a little, but I mostly like meeting people and talking." "And having fun." "I can't believe it." "I can't believe it." "You're one of those people who don't believe in much." "You think so?" "You watch everything, as if you were far away." " You think so?" " Maybe I do, maybe I don't." "I'm silly, aren't I?" "That's what Giulia always says too." "She's my flatmate." "Her boyfriend is psycho and he can't stand me." "I always leave my clothes in her room so he'll get jealous!" "Giulia doesn't understand that I'm doing her a favour." "She should thank me if he leaves." "I told her if he doesn't leave within a year, I'll quit." "But if he does, she'll pay my gym for a month." "I can't believe it..." "What I'm telling you?" "I believe your story." "Actually," "It's the only thing I believe tonight." "I don't believe these hands, this face, this voice." "These feet that are leading me nowhere." "I don't believe what has happened over the last few hours." "Or what is yet to happen." "You don't have to believe it." "Just walk." "I'll walk with you and we'll talk." "And tonight will be... magic, right?" "Yes." "Magic." "Can you believe this?" "It's been so long since something like this has happened to me." "Since I've felt..." "This way." "What way?" "This way..." "I don't get it." "This way." "I don't know..." " This way." " What way do you mean?" "This way." "I'm not saying I can't ever find the words." "It's just that I can't find the right words." "I'm afraid I'll get the wrong words sometimes." "I'm afraid what I'm about to say isn't right so then I'll end up ruining that moment." "Do you understand?" "If you say the wrong word, you ruin that moment forever." "And is this moment..." " one of those moments?" " Yes." "It is." "This moment is a moment." "This moment is a moment." "This moment..." "is a moment." " You know how it is, don't you?" " How?" "Today you're here, tomorrow you're gone." "They kick you out, or an accident..." "You're not as strong as you think." "You're not as strong as you think." "Just a gust of wind and you fly away." "Me, you, even our bosses." "You still don't get it." "You can only fly in a plane, not in the wind." "Without money, you can only fly in your imagination." "This is it, I live here." "It's hard to believe, but..." "from tonight on, I'm homeless." "Considering the situation we met in, I'd believe anything." "ARMED COMBAT SPECULATIVE PROPERTY." " Martino might be." " Martino?" "Giulia's boyfriend, I think he's in love with me." "And not Giulia." "When he sees you he'll be so jealous." "Your name's Momo?" "What's it short for?" "What do you think?" "Don't worry about it, it's a long story." " Is this your book?" " Yes." "I have an exam in two weeks." " It looks hard." " Yes, but it's amazing too." "I want to be a chemist and do research." "When I was a chemist I had the power to join elements and make them... react." "But not men...." " What's that?" "What's that?" "An old song." "But mostly just an out-of-tune voice." "You are so beautiful." "Your eyes shine." "You are so beautiful." "Your eyes shine like the sun, an early morning sun." "You, explain." " What?" " Explain." " What?" " Why should I strike?" " I don't know." " You don't know?" "It's been on the news for days." "Why should I strike?" "Are you going to?" "I don't know." "Always strike in my country, there are no jobs." "Got a cigarette?" " I don't smoke." " I got it." "I came to Italy to work." "To make money to send to Romania." "I have a wife and kids." " You?" " No." "Too bad." " Got a light?" " No, I don't smoke." "I have a wife and three kids." "They're in Romania." "I have to send them money to eat and survive." "Why should I strike?" "I'm not doing it!" "You should get married." "A man like you must get married." "You need a wife." "Wives are good." "They stand by you." "Mine does." "It's very important." " Good morning." " Good morning." "It's hot out today." "Good thing there's a breeze." "All right, see you tomorrow." " See you tomorrow." " Bye." "Thanks." "You want one?" "Would you like a newspaper?" "I have to check the delivery." "ATTACK ON THE CORE OF THE NATION UNDERSECRETARY RAIMONDI MURDERED" "So it's all true." "It's all true." "He's gone." "Just like that..." "I couldn't hold on to him." "He slipped out of my hand." "Forever." "Before you leave, I want to talk to you." "Just one last time." "Before you leave me." "Just a few things." "I won't keep you long, I promise." "I don't know how much it matters, but it matters to me." "At least it will keep you near me a little while longer." "Stay close to me." "Stay close to me." "Close to me."
