"THE TANGLE" "Why all the rush to die?" "God denies death to no one, but you can't choose when." "You have to wait your turn." "Now you see all black, but tomorrow the sun will rise again and the birds will chirp." "Quiet, you'll make him jump." "Where is he?" "Wait a minute, before you go through with this, you should read something." "You, come here." "These are the real ones and these are from your cousin." "Give him these." "Take a look." "Go right in, Mr. Owner!" "Would you please leave the room?" "I was coming to tell you everything." "You're despicable." "If you let me explain, you'll see why..." "You're despicable." "Why did you do it?" "Grampa left the hotel to you, but it was ours too." " That was thirty years ago!" " It could even be fifty." "My Dad paid his part to yours." " That's what you say." " That's what they all say." "It's always the same: each arguer supports his reasons." "All these reasons are like threads that, in time, get muddled and become one big tangle." "The world is full of tangles, each family has its own, more or less muddled." "Like Paolo and Gaetano's families, which is as if my own." "Others' families are the priests', it's well-known." "I should tell you about their fathers' argument" "25 years ago, about each one's reasons and the relatives who, with the excuse of peace-making, only fostered discord." "But the story might be too long." "Let's go back one month." " Who's that woman?" " The widow." " He was married?" " Married and separated." " What happened?" " The owner died." "He was a good person, I knew him, I live in the neighborhood." "This is Paolo, he's sad today because his father died." "This is Paolo's mother, who, after the divorce, moved to her sister's in another city." " Where's your father?" " In there." "Pizzas!" "Father Gino, I phoned like you said." "If you want my opinion, they won't show up." "Naturally, they haven't spoken in 20 years." "Good, they'll have lots to say to each other." "Excuse me." "Not even his cousin's coming?" "No, he's extremely busy," "I hear he's become a big shot entrepreneur." "Our agency can offer you a wide variety of solutions." "Our basic package will sell you the classic marriageable Italian citizen to get citizenship, or, for a slight surcharge, there's our famous deluxe package." "The groom is still Italian, but, in addition, he's old, owns a home and above all, he's sick." "Let's be frank:" "for you, Italy is your dream home, but you don't have the keys, I give you a crowbar." "Old and sick sick?" "Certainly, guaranteed by laboratory analyses." "Our old men are hand-picked, our motto is:" "A Foot on the Altar, a Foot in the Grave." "Gaetano!" "Excuse me." "The Russians..." "Meantime have a glance, choose freely and calmly." "Excuse me, I need the bathroom." " Condolences, life goes on." " I need the bathroom." "Deepest sympathy." "Condolences." " Gentlemen Katamaranov!" " Karamazov." "No matter." "As you've been informed by my collaborator, my wife, the marriage fell through because the groom found work." "Our agency has resolved this too." "Dear Svetlana, sound the trumpets!" "Here is your new groom-to-be!" "Why's she always crying?" "She thinks she's betraying her boyfriend." "Listen, first get your citizenship then your boyfriend does, or you have to leave Italy." "Saint Petersburg is a long row in a rubber raft." "You must marry in church." "City Hall isn't good?" "My Mom is very religious." "Your mother's still alive?" "Yes, the most wonderful Mom in the world." "As an honor, I'll be your best man." "What's "best man" in Russian?" "That's a long word, "best man" is short!" "He says, if you rip him off, he'll break your legs." "He said that?" "Congratulations, welcome to Italy!" "Doctor, I'm sure someone's given me a disease." "There are lots: mononucleosis, bird flu, whooping cough, chicken pox and the rare ones, diseases are making great strides." " That's medicine." " They're neck and neck." "Bye, matryoshka!" "Nice guys, the Kalamarov!" " Karamazov." " No matter." "Tell me something: am I your collaborator?" "Or assistant?" " So, we are..." " Associates." " We got married for..." " Your citizenship." "Our marriage is..." "Fake." "Have I ever encouraged you?" "Technically we're husband and wife." " But with the divorce papers..." " They've come?" "See you tomorrow morning, 11 sharp." "Sharp!" " She's crazy about me." " You can tell." "Careful at the Bachelor Party, tomorrow's your wedding night!" "Please, don't tell my mother I smoke." "Don't worry, see you tomorrow." "I started as administrator for your father in this hotel," "I owe him everything." "Mr. Geraci was like a father to me." "Be strong." "Condolences, I hope you can revive this hotel, we all need it." "You're wearing your poor father's tailcoat?" "I've been invited to a wedding, Mom." "Wash this and take it up to my place." "They called yesterday, he's dead." " Who?" " Your uncle." "What?" "He was seen three years ago." "He's dead now." "Sooner or later we all have to go." "His funeral's today." "He lasted even too long!" "My son can't come!" "What's that mean?" "He was tying his shoes and he felt sick." "What pain, Mom!" "I told him to wear loafers." "Sorry." "He always does things his own way." "That's kids for you, but now they're waiting in church." " They can marry some other day." " We have to go." "We have to go!" "You're hurting me, you're crazy!" "Shut up!" "Stop, I have to pee!" "We're here." "Olga, we're coming." "Yes, it's a tragedy." "She's right, we've no air!" "Thank you for your kisses, thank you for your hugs, and the affection you've transmitted to me," "surely with something else too." "Calm down, we're here." "I have my eye on you!" "Here I am!" "This is the proof that God is asking for peace." "To convince us, what further sign must the Lord give us today?" "That's it." ""What God has joined, let no man put asunder."" "The Mass is over and since in this world of ours there's always great need, exchange a sign of peace once again." "I appreciated your gesture, our family must be united." "We deserve it, we're a nice family." "Good, after such a long time!" "You mustn't separate ever again!" "Welcome back." "I'm in the church, in San Giovanni Square." "What other church?" "I see it, I'm coming." "Why don't you tell me things?" " What are you doing?" " Mom feels sick, she has no air." "Some people have no bread but don't complain." " The wedding?" " We did that, this is the baptism." " Where were you?" " Where are the Kalashnikov?" "Karamazov, they've been inside for an hour." "Where's the groom?" "He strained his back, I need two men to transport him." "Congratulations!" "What a handsome groom!" "No, I'm the best man." " You'relate." " Where's the groom?" "He's coming." "I wouldn't have bothered you, it's no big deal." "Totuccio, come on!" "Mom's sick, she may not pull through." " Then leave her!" " One mother is all we have." "Cut the platitudes!" "Come on, you're getting married." "That's enough, leave." "Aren't you ashamed?" "He got my daughter pregnant, he has to marry her." "And he smokes like a Turk!" "That's not true, Mom." "Shame on you!" "You can't do this, get out of there!" " I thought you'd left." " I don't like to cry in public." "We'll carry him." " On foot?" " For 15 kilometers?" "His father, my uncle, merits it." "Let's go." "How dare he, after all he's done to us?" "Who knows what he's after." " Are we angry with him too?" " Certainly." " I didn't remember that." " Then do." "Stay away from him, take my advice." "Your cousin's on foot." "Thanks for coming, besides, the one in the wrong takes the first step." "I get off here, stop." "I never answer my phone, so you call me." "Take off!" "I've been through this, I know how you feel." "I just can't leave you by yourself." "Hit the gas!" "Thank you, Gaetano." "So, are you coming or not?" "I'm sorry you must sign today, of all days." "The good of the hotel is foremost." "He's with me, don't worry." "Creditors have no respect, even for the dead." "300 euro of brand new towels, it's a shame." "The guests steal them, your father overlooked it." "He wasn't always right to overlook it." "Your father was like a father for me too." "Thank you." "Miss?" "Have you finished for today?" "Sorry to bother you as you're leaving, but I've wanted to ask you something for a long time." "Have you done all the rooms?" "So, I'll see you tomorrow?" "On time, though!" "Tomorrow." "Where was I signing?" "Card wins, card loses." "Where's the ace?" "Sure?" "You lost, I won this model car too." "But it was that one!" "You have to concentrate!" "Let's try again." "I don't have any more cars to play." "The fire truck?" "I just got it." "Too bad, I could have put up three, actually, five." "It's for you, you could win them back." "Okay!" "Good!" "Where's the ace?" " Here." " You lost." "You're dishonest, I'll never set foot here again." "Gaetano, let's go." " You're not my brother anymore." " Quiet, there are guests." " You should be ashamed." " You should." "You want to see me dead." "Know what I say?" "Keep your money and this wretched hotel." "Dad, wait, my model truck!" "You never change." "Sure, but he cheated us on the hotel." "The pollen here is terrible, it gets up your nose." "Pollen, here?" "Maybe once when there were flowers, now there's nothing." "I saw bees attempt suicide, one was gripping a blade of grass and doing this." " Am I bothering you?" " No, you can stay." "Remember when our fathers would play cards and we'd sit on their laps?" "I brought you a pajama, like it?" "Nice." "When's the recreation hour?" "I have the right to call my lawyer." "Why don't you come sleep with me?" "We have lots to say." "I had the same idea, then I thought" "I wander at night and wake up late, I might disturb you, maybe another time." "Remember what we'd say before bedtime?" "We'd say: "Goodnight!"" ""See you tomorrow!"" "And then: "Angel of the Lord, in my heart you are adored, angel of God on high, make me strong to never lie, you know love frees us, little angel of Jesus." Remember?" "You're nuts." "Goodnight." "Last night I couldn't sleep." "I remembered eight years ago I ate a steak." "If it was a mad cow?" "I read you can die eight years after eating it." "Last week I took your advice:" "only looking at death in the face can I fight the fear of it." " Are you jumpin' or not?" " He's not." "I paid you, so if I want to I will, if not, I won't." "Don't stress me." "I can't do it." "How do people handle it?" "They fall in love, have kids, but what for, if we might suddenly drop dead?" "Maybe while we're asleep." "70% of people die in bed, it's a very dangerous place, for six months I've slept on a couch." "I'm sorry, you can't go in there." "Mr. Paolo?" "A man wants to talk to you." "I can't, it's time for my inhalation." "He's been waiting a long time." "The new supplies will be here in a week." "Here are the towels, the jams and toilet paper." "Aren't we overdoing it?" "They'll wise-up soon or later." "When the father was alive, maybe, but his son's a total moron." "We respected your father, when he was sick we stepped aside." "Right or not?" "Don Mimi is a good person, he kept protecting you... and your hotel." "I want to pay what my father paid." "Plus arrears?" "Your father hadn't paid for a while." "This is the amount." "Holy smoke!" "Are those cookies?" "See you next week." "Two hundred, three hundred..." "We have a problem." " Our geezer won't marry." " Is his mother still sick?" " No, she died." " He'll be in mourning." "Not exactly." "You have to find another husband." "He doesn't want to marry anymore, where are you?" "With friends." "Stay put, the Russians are camping outside your place." "I have an old geezer I took blood from yesterday, he won't make the weekend." " I'll take him, how much?" " I can give him for 2,000." "Two months ago you asked 800 euro for a guy with 420 glycemia." "Cool down!" "This is different." "He was a retired postman, city housing... this is another class." "No more than 500 euro." "With azotemia at 100 and 2,000 square meters of garden?" "Two thousand?" "Is it zoned for building?" "Sure it is." "I'd marry him myself if I were a Russian woman!" "Why wasn't I born a Russian woman?" "Since you're a friend, 1,800 euro." "I don't have it, 800." " 1,500." " Meet me halfway!" "Give me 1,200 and that's that." "Okay, but only because of the Russians." "I was there yesterday, I'll call them to get the results." "No need?" "He's dead?" "All things considered, how is he?" "He's really dead and gone?" "You're still here?" "You have to pick up the car!" "I'm on my way, I'll just say goodbye to a friend." "Hurry." "We're here bargaining and people die in our hands." "Resolve this for me, the Russians are at my throat." "I'm pleased you finally accepted my offer." "Here's the check for the down payment, this is for the receipt." "If I sign, the money's mine and the hotel's yours?" "No, then we have a problem." "Sorry." "This is yours, I took it by mistake." "Now it's working, the medicine's inside." "Thirty minutes, more, not less." "Aren't you taking your pills today?" "Turn that spaceship off!" "I've taken them: tranquillizers." "Antispasmodics." "You have to be very careful, if you take those, then the others, you get an allergic reaction." "You must always have an antiallergic, because today in cities, with pollen, dust..." "Turn your tractor on!" " The hotel's in bad shape." " You mucked it up in 3 days." "It wasn't going well when Dad was alive." " I'll have to sell it." " To who?" "A Chinese guy with a restaurant wants it." "Too many papers, I could never figure it." "Good thing there's an administrator, after Dad got sick, he took over, all alone." "Not all alone, he loads the stuff, but others drive the truck." " I'll wait for you upstairs." " Of course." "Shameful!" "Despicable!" "I swear I wouldn't do it again, if I could go back." "Right, come back." "These belong to the hotel." "Despicable!" "Shameful!" "Back to work, there's nothing to look at." "Since my cousin's come, I trust myself more, maybe because he radiates trust." "For the first time, I feel I can trust someone." "Two hundred..." "Why did he give a damn about the administrator?" "I thought he hated the hotel because Grampa left it to us and not to them." "Instead he seems more attached to it than I am." "1,200 for the dresser is too much." "It's the sentimental value." "For the first time, I feel nothing can happen to me." "Sant'Antonio, Santa Rosalia, whoever's listening, help me!" "I'm dying." "Paolo, you just caught cold." "It's a touch of the flu, in two days you'll be good as new." "Not to contradict you, but this time I'm dying." "What are you saying?" "An aspirin, a little sweat and it's all over." "Sweating makes it worse." " Don't worry." " Goodbye, forever." " He's out of his mind." " Totally!" " He called you too?" " What can we do?" "He says he's dying." "Is this how it has to end?" "You just have the flu, don't go overboard." "Dear Father Gino, thank you for coming." "I'm sure this time, and I want to confess." "My son, you always say you're dying." "A month ago it was just a headache, 15 days ago it was a toothache." "Make up your mind!" "You always say you're dying." "You never keep your promises." "You have to hear me first!" "Alright, I'm listening." " Olga, darling!" " Darling!" "I was worried, how are you?" "Fine, you?" "Here at the agency things are going great, and for the two Russian bruisers outside who keep asking for you." "Father Gino, let me die in peace." "Be sincere: in Paradise are there any pharmacies?" "Not yet, but I'm working on it, I swear." "Tell the Russians I'll be around in a few days." "Since I thought I was dying," "I thought "there'll be flowers"." "If so, there's pollen and if so, there are allergies." "I asked myself: will God hand out antiallergics?" "I understand, now let me go." "Can I tell you something?" "This time I wouldn't worry at all, if I was sure to die, I'd leave my cousin the hotel." "If I was sure to die," "I'd leave my cousin the hotel." "Is Antonio here?" "Get him." "Now we'll get a clear picture, so you won't worry." "You're the only one who doesn't think I'm crazy." "You, crazy?" "If they all were like you!" " Is there any redness?" " After the analyses you can relax." "My cousin Paolo." "Full check-up, then I'll pick up the analyses." " Why?" " I don't pay here." " Gaetano's always around." " Don't worry, you're in good hands." "Call it revenge or getting even," "Gaetano is certainly brewing up something." "Fact is, after 25 years, he was about to take back what, in his mind, was rightfully due his father: the hotel." "I don't believe it." "This is the clinical picture of a 90-year-old man." " Ninety-one!" " No matter." "To be precise, but that's one year's difference." " What's that mean, Doctor?" " What can it mean?" "It means what it means." "With these values, I don't know how to tell you..." "Tell him." "My cousin wants to know if there's something bad." "Or good, maybe there's something good you don't want to tell him." "With this clinical picture, you don't have long to live." " How long?" " What's it matter how long?" "We're mere grains of sand in the desert of eternity." "We're talking about months." "Perhaps weeks." "It's fantastic!" "Doctor, you were right, I had to look death in the face." "You'll come to a bad end!" "Commissioner, there's a person who has a report to make." "There are 100 other offices where a report can be made." "A thousand other offices, why here?" "It's about protection money." "Have him come in." "You can't smoke in public offices." "The law's the law." "Let's go over this for the nth time." "These men show up to ask for money." "You dial the number on that note and order two pizzas." "Easy!" " Can I go?" " Go." "Sorry, I forgot my cell phone." "But if I need the police, why should I order two pizzas?" "Because it's a code!" "You have to go now, that's enough!" "You call, our man will come dressed as a pizza delivery boy, go!" "A lighter that works!" "You're a useless thing, a bungler, trash." "You got fucked around by that nonentity." "Don Mimi, I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" "What are you sorry for?" "Do I have to think of everything?" "Pietro will resolve this deal." "We have to organize a nice reception for someone." "Okay." "You come at closing time so no one will see us?" "Stop making eyes at me." "You'll finally accept my invitation to dinner?" " I have a problem." " Me too." "Look, I found these analyses in Gaetano's computer." "Someone's at death's door." "You gave them to him, right?" "I have to know who it is and contact this person." " It's his cousin." " He has a cousin?" "He's not right for you, it's Gaetano's private business." "I'll find you somebody right." "Really?" "Sure, you need the best." "Naturally, and you'll dine with me some evening." "Hot babe!" "What's this guy got?" "Thanks for the lift, but I get off next stop." "Tell your cousin if he doesn't pay, we'll kill him." "It's my moral duty to tell you the truth." "My cousin's about to die, he's sick, that's why he's insensitive to the charm of your threats." "Yeah?" "He's about to die?" "Then tell him, if he doesn't pay in three days..." "You'll go hunting?" "We'll kill you." "Open up!" "Will you take it?" "You can turn that off, thanks." " What's the price for me?" " 138,500 euro." "Congratulations!" " Where's my cousin?" " In there." "Congratulations!" "Something very serious happened, remember your analyses?" "I have to tell you the truth!" "Pleasure, Notary Mascellaro." "Are you Gaetano, the lucky cousin?" "I'm here for the Deed of Gift." "Deed of Gift?" "The hotel, your cousin wants to give it to you." "I want this." "Now sit down and warm your hand, we need a nice signature." "And your mother?" "The property belongs to Mr. Paolo, his mother has other assets." "I want this." "Congratulations again, I hope you revive this hotel." "You've done everything, now there's nothing more to do." "This is yours, you won it." "You've done everything, now there's nothing more to do." "Now there's nothing more to do..." "I don't know how you did it." "You were right, now the hotel is yours." "Here's the down payment." "It's a lot of money, wouldn't a check be easier?" "It's for friends who don't really like checks." "Sign the receipt and the affair is done." "One question:" "if I sign the receipt," "I get the money, okay, but you get the hotel?" "Certainly." "Then there's a problem." "I've heard this before." "I understand: you two will never sell the hotel." "You're just like your cousin." "What cousin?" "He's my brother and you always tell a brother the truth." "How often we sat on our father's laps as they played cards!" "You know what we'd say before bedtime?" ""Angel of the Lord in my heart you are adored, angel of God on high, make me strong to never lie, you know love frees us, little angel of Jesus."" "The bundle." "This?" "It's easy to look bad without meaning to." "Glad you noticed, I'd have been home before I did and been mortified." "It's the hotel concierge." "Come right away," "Paolo wants to throw himself from the roof." " Is he nuts?" " Come right away." "I'm coming, talk to him!" "Talk to you later." "We have to chat." "Sure, I'll call you." "Now that you're a hotel owner there's no time for friends." "I understand everything." "In the analysis lab I found these." "Except for the name, they're different from the others." "That's when I understood." "Now we have to split the goodies." "What goodies?" "There's no candy store." "Silence has a price and mine's 138,500 euro." "You all want money from me?" "Is "Monopoli" here?" "What do you say?" "We'll see what your cousin thinks." "Wait!" "Where is he?" "Excuse me a minute, before you go through with this, you should read something." "You, come here." "These are the real ones and these are from your cousin." "Give him these." "Take a look." "And so Paolo didn't jump, he saw he'd inherited their fathers' fight, more than a hotel." "Maybe they'd have made peace, but they didn't have time." "Time's a gentleman, but often it's a stinker." "Shortly after the fight, Gaetano's father died." "Then remorse and accusations poisoned the two families and the Geraci tangle got more muddled." "I never knew where the truth lay, but I realized that, from father to son, not only are faults inherited, but often stupidity." "We waste years unraveling a tangle and no one sees the obvious:" "cut the threads, and throw the muddled tangle away." "Gaetano and Paolo still have to understand this." "We paid him his part, that day your father asked for the nth loan." "When you're brothers, it's forever." "He was in trouble, he needed it." "I can't make peace with you." " Why not?" " My mother doesn't want me to." "You taught us that too, Father Gino." " "Honor thy father and mother."" " When they're right." "In fact, my mother's right." "If we don't pay in two days, they'll kill me." "So you'll learn about having your days numbered." "Go away, you're always messing people up." "Finally you're a free man, you don't have to work anymore." "Lucky you." "Want something to eat?" "With forks, though." "He didn't want the down payment, nor to sell the hotel." "That means he'll have to con someone else." "My cousin's a con man, no one knows him like I do." "He's been conning me since the three cards trick." "Watch out, he'll even steal your restaurant." "Goodbye." ""Angel of the Lord in my heart you are adored, angel of God on high, make me strong to never lie."" "How do you know that?" "Your cousin drummed it into me." "You played on your parents' laps." "You're just alike." "He thinks he's cleverer than you, but you're the same, just the same." "Haven't they come to kill you yet?" "The usual Italian-style killers:" "they give you three days and then take five." "To much red tape." "I'll wait here to keep the hotel from getting dirty." "It's hard to remove blood from drapes." " Can't get it out." " No, there's always a trace." "Not like wine, that comes right out." "So, you're not worried?" "No, I made a death choice." "Look, there's Don Mimi." "Are you worried about the money we have to pay?" " I'm hungry." " You haven't eaten?" " You?" " Yes." "At the Chinese place." "I'm going in, the city's dangerous at this hour." "Wait for me." "If you hadn't said you were leaving it all to me," "I wouldn't have tried to con you." "It's my fault." "If you'd said that before, we wouldn't have argued." "I'll say it now:" "sorry, it's my fault." " Accepted." " Let's change the subject." "Now the Mafia's on my heels." "What a problem!" "There's another problem." "What is it, you forgot your pill?" "You didn't do your inhalation, you have a bruise?" "You got a boo-boo?" "I did something." "What did you do, besides kicking a Mafia ass?" "You reported them to the police?" "They were so nice, if I need them" "I order two pizzas and they'll come, you should thank me!" "If we don't pay, the Mafia will kill us, if we get them arrested they'll kill us anyway." "All roads lead to death!" "We have just one alternative." "Find a way to die and I'll give your body to Don Mimi, these are tough times they might accept half payment." " I don't agree." " Say you don't want to collaborate!" "First you create problems and then won't resolve them." "There's another solution." "Let's hear from the genius of evil." " Do you trust me?" " No." "Then follow me." "Dear Don Mimi, we simply misunderstood each other!" "Think we don't want to pay?" "Sure we want to pay!" " If "we have" the money." " If we had!" "If we had the money, "if" requires the conditional." "But we don't." "We don't even have the conditional, how could we ever have the money?" "We've inconvenienced you to ask a favor." "Two favors:" "if it's possible to have a discount and a payment spread." "First the spread and then the discount or vice versa, as you like." "No for the discount or no for the spread?" "No for both." "Could we at least have a receipt?" "For taxes." "We'll be going." "We'll get the money, is a week okay?" "No, a week's too much!" "He goes overboard, that's him." "Why a week?" "Two or three days." "Tomorrow, come to the hotel." "Okay." "Not in the hotel, you get the dough, we'll tell you where to bring it." "We'll tell you." "Let's go." "Thank you!" "Now we're even!" "Get the dough, you shits!" "Good, a nice kick!" "Two, three, four and five." "Plus five." "Five, plus what the bank gives us..." " We have it all." " Perfect, now what?" "We have to change it, or they'll think we robbed a church." "We'll bag it and take it to them." "We have to wait for their call." "He said: "Get the dough."" ""You shits"." "The complete sentence is:" ""Get the dough, you shits."" "But he didn't say it to offend us." "No, sometimes people say things just to say." ""Hi, you shits!"" "It's a nice way of saying something." "These ways of saying things make me hungry." "How about ordering two pizzas?" "Here's the money, it's fake, but they won't realize it in time." "When they call, we'll know the time and place of the drop." "Think they'll give the briefcase back?" " Stop!" " It was my father's." "You've said that a million times." "Excuse him." "All the hotel lines are tapped, we'll spring into action when they take the briefcase." "They'll spring into action when they take the briefcase." "Don't worry, we'll arrest them when the time's right." "Don't worry, they'll arrest them when the time's right." "I'd better go, if they're watching the hotel they might get suspicious." "I heard him, I'm not deaf!" "He heard you, he's not deaf." "It's us, in half an hour, bring the money to pier five, understand?" "You're never around when I need you, they called me." "What's that mean, they called "you"?" "They dialed and I answered." "Your phone isn't tapped!" "We have to order two more pizzas." "Here's the police!" " Do they have bugs?" " Bugs?" "Anchovies!" "No matter, see you in half an hour at pier five." "We're here!" "The Sports Center in 15 minutes." "The Sports Center in 15 minutes, hurry!" "We just got here." "Again?" "We're on our way." "In 15 minutes at Moncada Park." "In 15 minutes at Moncada Park, hurry!" "We're safe here, it's loaded with cops." "There are kids here." "Police dogs exist so police kids do too." "I'm jumpin' out of my skin, don't touch me!" " I wondered if they're here." " Between the obelisk and fountain." "The cops." "Good, that calms me too." "Cut it out, that's 20 euro." "Good, officer, but hide now, they're not here yet." "When they get here, we'll signal." " 20 euro." " Good signal, they'll never get it!" "Hide." "20 euro or I'll call the cops." "Not a bad idea, all we have is four police kids, if they come, will we play hide-and-seek?" " 20 euro." " No one home inside there?" "Not a soul." "If anyone comes back, you'll tell me?" "You've been assing us around." "Where's the groom?" "As soon as I saw you, I said:" ""Where's the groom?"" " My 20 euro." " Shut up!" "Here comes the groom with the best man!" "Why all these best men?" "Yeah, too many men." "Who are these guys?" "Friends." "Friends of friends." "The Karamazov brothers." "I've heard of them." "Did you bring the money?" "Sure." "So?" "Let go of it!" "Wait in the car." " Spring the operation." " Right, 20 euro!" "Okay, we didn't give the signal: 20 euro!" " 20 euro or I don't move." " Cut the red tape, go!" " I want the dough." " Call in the police kids." "He really wants it." "Sorry, one more, one less..." "Now spring into action!" "Goodbye." "Our respects." "Wait, when's the ceremony?" "What ceremony?" "Hold it, this money's fake!" "Split up!" " Did you miss me?" " Keep going!" "I don't understand you!" "What are you doing, phoning?" "The phone." "Commissioner, two pizzas!" "They want to kill us!" " Where are you?" " In Via Cavour." " They're on our heels." " Go to Italia Square, we're coming." "Remember, they have to take the briefcase, or we can't spring the operation." "Let's all go to Italia Square." "Why the fuck are you crying?" "They should come from there." "Move this car!" "Take your positions." "Get this car out of here!" "Go away, don't be glued to me." "Hide!" " I want to stay with you." " No, they'll recognize you." " Why?" " You're in uniform, go!" "Let's go!" "They're coming!" "The cops are here." "Great!" "Cut it out!" "Did it take?" " That's enough." " It's a video." "You're a dickhead." "It's not my fault, Dad." "I won't do it again!" "I'm pleased, the operation went perfectly." "You were great." "Thanks, but you guys were the great ones." "I want my money, 20 euro." "Except him, why don't you turn him over to the Carabinieri?" "I wanted to ask you: my briefcase?" "The briefcase again?" "The briefcase is part of the evidence you can have it back after the trial." "Congratulations, you came at exactly the right time." "I don't know how to thank you." "What a handsome groom!" "Welcome and congratulations." "I'll read the civil code..." "We have to thank Olga!" "The documents came in time." "With a slight surcharge, we have the deluxe package." "Darling, the Senegalese are here." "Why did you call me darling?" "Are we engaged?" " You and I are..." " Associates." "Did I ever encourage you?" "She's crazy about me." "You can tell!" "And so this is the end of our story, the story of two cousins who argued and then made up, that's all." "What happened to the hotel?" "Gaetano and Paolo own it 50/50 and work together." "Congratulations!" "I hope that together you can revive this hotel, we really need it." "Thank you for the inauguration party." "Go!" " I have to fire him." " No, I'm fond of him." "Then we hire an orthopedic, he always crushes my hand." "Why not tell her you like her?" " Who said I do?" " You can tell." "She's not my type, it's her hair..." "You like them bald?" " It's a matter of taste." " Then I'll try." "I like girls with hair." "If you try it on with all the girls I don't like..." "Not all, just the ones with hair." "Congratulations." "Forgive me if I gave you a kiss involuntarily the other day." "Involuntarily?" "A little involuntarily..." "Yes or no?" " Honey!" " Auntie!" "Is this your girlfriend?" "She's lovely!" "Enjoy yourselves." "So, what do we want to do?" "Let's get the food out, there's nothing left down there." "We've already said hello." "Careful, the director will say hello." "So you do remember." "Just now I did." " Is it my turn?" " I dealt." "No arguing!"
