" Mr. Papandrea." " Bonora!" "Well, this is it." "Thank you for these thirty years you gave us." "All in all, I had fun here at Italporte  Co." "And now what?" "I'll try to have fun with my family." "My family, oh well..." "My mother's bonded with St. Pio, my wife's a Jehovah's Witness, and me, in between." "My only bond was my job." "And now that I don't work anymore?" "The only bond left to me is on my finger." "Since my mom passed on, you're my mom and I want respect." "Respect for the Jehovah's Witnesses, my faith, and no holy cards around the house." "They're everywhere." "I'll make them disappear!" "Give back my holy cards!" "Amelia, you're behaving like a spoiled child." "Learn to live in this world." "Me?" "I'm 90!" "Mom..." "Your nose is like ice." "Why do you always go outside?" "I watered the geraniums." "It rains all the time!" "They'll rot." "And they're full of cigarette butts." "Me?" "I haven't smoked since 1958!" "Today I went into retirement." "And me, the hairdresser's!" "Mom, let me give you this injection." "I made you a cake." "Working 30 years, you deserve it." "That's sweet!" "You're the only one in this fam..." " It's only half." " Grandma..." "And this smoking thing?" "You can't quit, uh?" "The only good in Jehovah's Witnesses is their restriction on smoking!" "I respect all the rules, but that." "It's such a shame." "And let me say something a dad shouldn't, you have to open to the world, embrace life, fall in love." "But why, Dad?" "Why?" "Because I didn't." "I think men don't like me." "Nonsense, what are you saying?" " I like you very much." " But you're my dad." "Well, certainly not your aunt!" "Giuseppe!" "What are you doing here?" "Italporte closed down?" "Hi Nappo, I was feeding the pigeons." " Sunk that low?" " At least the pigeons are happy." "C'mon with me, up the Zizzola." "That cursed climb?" "You're over the hill, I'll bet fifty euros." "Make it a hundred." "But I'll drive up, to get my money." "Be my helper!" "Four things count for Nappo:" "bikes, singing, women and women." "But keeping that pace takes a lot more breath." "Here we are." "You're a lion in the square, but a jackass goin' up there." "My hundred?" "Wasn't it fifty?" "No, you raised the stakes." " Stop!" " I'm an optimist." " Gimme my hundred." " Back pocket." "We'll take it to the square and feed the pigeons." "I'd rather feed the swanky pheasants." "That's why the climb pooped you out." "You're the one pooped out!" "Old man!" "Welcome, go right in." "That way." " Giuseppe!" " Mom..." "What the devil's going on?" "The people in there look like grave diggers, all in black." "Good thing they leave at one o'clock." "But that's in four hours!" "Up Via Buozzi will be Sister Chiara and Brother Sebastiano." "Impossible, it's all wealthy intellectuals dominated by Satan." "Don't let every obstacle stop you!" " Dear Brother." " I'm looking for the cake." "Sister Grazia told us about your great opportunity." "Retirement." "Now you can do the really important things." "Look at Brother Giovanni, his life had no meaning, empty, but look he's been born again." "I can see that, a child!" "Sit down, come in to our peace." "No, I'll go out to Social Security." " My Brother!" " My Other!" " The world is ending." " I'd better hurry." " Going out like that?" " "Cover the naked"." "It's wicked cold, I'm cramping up." "Better cramping up than home with the Holy Scriptures, eh?" "I'd almost rather listen to my bishop wife, than go to this nuns' chorus." "My chorus is profane:" "a private non-profit association with pussy underbrush!" " Look, what a pheasant!" " Not your prey." " I'd say, she's waiting for her guy." " I'd say, the school bus." "See her lunchbox!" "Bet a hundred I can pick her up?" "Bet if you do, they'll arrest you?" "Yeah, but I'll get my money back." "Sure, an advance on your bail!" "What's this thing?" "I don't believe it, holy cow!" "See?" " Flora, Giuseppe." " Pleasure, Flora-Ronny Morena." "How did he persuade you?" "You're so young and pretty." "Not young, me 22." "Tricked you." "We had appointment." "I know Lappo from two weeks, he comes to my shop for hands, nails and tan." "He good and handsome." "Close roof, me cold." "See?" "She cramps up too." "You owe me a hundred." "Fiamma Frati..." " Patti, I'm short twenty euros." " Gavino..." "And I'm short five." "I'm not a bank though!" " I'll cover this time, but..." " They'll reimburse us?" "The councilor's intimate with the maestro, you know!" "Fuck off." "Up yours!" "That's the pussy underbrush?" "They're the Feathers, they sing here too." "This is the maestro's building, they pay for the chorus room, we get it for free." "And we get your sister for free!" "Come here, if you have the guts." "I think he's coming." "No, relax!" "See you Thursday." "Good afternoon to all." "This is Flora." "Auditions for the Children's Chorus are in Bologna." "I tomorrow 22." "Me too tomorrow." "They're here to hear us and love us." "Pulling a fast one?" " Traveling costs?" " You never trust me!" "I did, far too often." "Who is old lady?" "Why she angry?" "My mom." "Your mom?" "Let me know your Italian mom!" "Forget it!" "Hi, Lappo mom, but you're not old." "When had Lappo?" "After the measles, but we made love at 25." " Made love with son?" " I'll explain later." "Take her away." "Patrizia, it takes so much patience." "What are you doing here?" "Fuck-all to do." "Rehearsal's starting, get together." "Nora, we'll start with Bellini, "A te, o cara"." "C'mon, get the chorus together, it's only three weeks till the concert in Turin." "Where's Elisa?" "Sorry, I'm always late." "Please forgive me." "Maestro Mazzinghi, three measures before the chorus." "You have nails a little bitten," "I can treat, do filing." "No, thank you, very kind," "I like the chipped look." "Hey, what's this?" "You saw too, Elvira came to me, then Arturo sucked her back." "What?" "Why not go home to sleep!" "I wasn't sleeping, I was dreaming." "I'll go dream too, over there, a nice glass of wine and a slice of salami." " Come on." " Be right there." "Let me clear my head..." "My nephew just can't find work." "The Music Institute needs a janitor." "We had a Sri Lanka guy, but now he's in a reality show." "Remember the score please, thank you." "I'm off." "Ma'am, I heard you sing, you're a nightingale." " Thank you, very kind." " Are you Tuscan too?" "From the Versilia area." "So, it's really you." "Who?" "You're that pretty little girl making sand pies at Bagno Stella." "Sand pies?" "I'm at a loss for words." "You haven't changed." " Let's go home, sweetheart." " Yes, I'm so cold." "Nappo!" "Nite-nite!" "See you tomorrow, tricked you!" "Another of your tricks?" "You know him, don't you?" "You better than me." "Here's din-din." "How did you stand him for ten years?" "Sometimes it was worth it... sometimes." "Hey, Patrizia, do you believe in the bewitchery of love?" "By now I believe in the witchery of back pain." " I'll take you home." " Got a broomstick?" "I got one." "Nity-nite, be good." "Bye, kitties." "Good night from Uncle Peppino too." ""Jehovah God, the Almighty, righteous and true are your ways, King of eternity." "Who will not really fear you, Jehovah, and glorify your name, because you alone are loyal?" "For all the nations will come and worship before you, because your righteous decrees have been made manifest... "" "Giuseppe, how come?" "Surprise!" "I got the paper." "My handsome Samurai, what a breakfast!" "I've already eaten, but I'll sit with you." "Gee, swell!" "Listen," "I'd like a recommendation for the Music Institute, they need a handyman and here I am." "A recommendation to wash floors?" "Are you nuts?" "You gotta realize, that in these thirty years" "I've filled my ears with trash, the shrieking of electric saws, of wives, sermons... enough!" "Now, with this, I hear my sweet music and with this, the sweet voice of Elisa." "Sure, bewitched by the chorus." "Okay, but listen," "I'll say it in stereo, let her voice be enough, she's a complicated woman, mysterious." "Besides, let's be frank, you're like Parmesan, a little aged." " She said that?" " No, I do." "Aged Parmesan is much better than a young cheese." "The pheasant's roosted, I didn't expect this from you." "She hasn't roosted, she's in transit." "You're the one in trance." "Good morning, my love." "I'm talking my mother in Bulgaria, then I give you money for bill." "Don't worry." " Say hello to mom." " Hi, mommy!" ""Succherellove"?" "What's it mean?" "What language is it?" "What the fuck do you care?" "It's Sinti, a nomad code, so the settlers won't understand them." "I'd say she's the settler." "She may be the settler, but you're the nomad because you're leaving, make yourself a take away and go have this roll with the pigeons." "I'm off to learn a little Sinti." "Bewitched by the chorus..." "And so my dream came true," "I work at the Music Institute." "Okay, I'm a janitor, but I've booked my front row seat." "Oops, sorry!" "You're Maestro Zaccaria!" "I'm Bonora." "What's that music?" "Pachelbel, "Sonata in D major"." "The other guy did the floors better but didn't dance like you." "But, with just one rag I cleaned your shoes." "I'm looking for Ms. Patrizia, I'm the new bass." "She's by the fireplace." "I'm looking for Ms. Patrizia, I'm the new bass." "Hello, I'm Patrizia, you're the new bass?" "I'm looking for Ms. Patrizia, I'm the new bass." " That's what I said." " Why, don't I have the look?" "Yes, you can vocalize at the piano." "Patrizia, has Elisa come?" "Yes." "She's in there getting the scores." " Is this your coat?" " No, I stole it." "I'd like to put it next to mine." "You're the cloakroom attendant?" "No, but I like your singing so much, that I came back." "That's odd, the last time it seemed you were sleeping." "I wasn't, I was dreaming about you." "I was pretending to sleep..." "Do that again." " What?" " What you just said." " I was pretending to sleep." " No, singing "La boheme"." " But there's a soprano here." " No matter, go for it." "I was pretending to sleep..." "Modulate it, come on, trust me." "An octave higher, trust me, I have perfect pitch." "Good, come with me." "Do you read music?" "No... yes, sort of." " My grandfather played the trumpet." " Classical or jazz?" "Army fanfare band, killed in action." "Okay, follow me." "Everybody, quiet!" "The tenor we've been looking for is here, Giuseppe Bonora." "That's me!" "Stand right here." " There?" " Yes, here with the other tenors." "No, I'll stay back here, I'm shy." "I don't believe it." "Your place is here with the tenors." "I'm embarrassed out front." "Stay here, I can keep an eye on you." "You're one of us!" "Maestro Mazzinghi, three measures before the chorus." "It's upside-down." "What's the bass doing?" "Look at me." " You must look at me." " The bass has a problem." "I don't hear from this ear, if you'd move the piano to the left." "Okay, tomorrow we'll all move!" "It's two weeks to the concert, we're way behind." "It's unacceptable!" "Take it from the chorus." "Watch the perfect fourth!" "Quiet, you're making a ruckus." "Who the heck is this anyway?" " Giuseppe, just the soloists!" " Just pretend!" "Break." "It's going to be a disaster!" "So, you moved her in?" "Nappo, goodness, you're in love." "In love... always thinking the worst." "Careful, she'll make you pay." "Meantime I'll enjoy her." "And if she hurts you?" "Have I ever suffered for a woman?" "Unfortunately not." "Pee pee!" "Lappino!" "Lappino pee pee." "Then I'll wait my man here." "You've got curls." "You're very pretty." " Thank you, mo..." " Don't say "mom"." "My little flower!" "Excuse me, is this your car?" "No, I'm stealing it." "Am I too bold if I ask for a ride?" "I can't, I'm busy." "That's okay," "I live just around the corner." "Good grief!" "What's wrong with it this evening?" "What's the matter?" "Trouble?" "It won't start." "Open the hood and give me that flashlight." " Did it open?" " Yes." " Do you know engines?" " A mechanic is like a veterinarian." "A horse can't say he has a bellyache, but the vet has to figure it out and resolve the problem." " You're a mechanic?" " No, or a vet either." "But cars are like animals, that's why they have animal names:" "Mustang, Cougar, Jaguar..." " Mouse." " There's no car called Mouse." "A mouse, a real big mouse!" "It gnawed the wires to the battery." "Give me some electrical tape." "I don't keep electrical tape in my bag." "A stroke of genius, Italian style!" "Give me that chewing gum." " What's it for?" " That dirty..." " You're sure it's useful?" " Certainly, you'll see." "I put it between the bare wires so they don't ground, now the engine will start." " Go on!" " Can I try?" "Yes, start the car." "It's just a try." "I'll do this just ward off bad luck." "You made me laugh so much when you began the tenor's part, with that voice..." "I don't have a background in music, just a grandfather who played the trumpet." "Why belittle yourself?" "Instead, in learning by ear you're very good." "I'm a learner-by-ear, that's what." "Singing is such magic!" "There were forty of us, but we sounded like a hundred." "It's the magic of a chorus." "A chorus is a whole that's greater than the sum of its parts." "It's like... love." "Two people who love aren't two people anymore, they become a couple." "Right, you know, when a chorus sings a fortissimo, it could turn a lighthouse beacon on." "But there's no harbor here," "Does the chorus turn the cableway on?" "Dummy!" "What time is it?" "It's terribly late." "Ma'am?" "The bill." "Ah, you can pay tomorrow," "I can't let you travel in such fog." "Call your children." "There's a room ready upstairs, if for your wife..." "It's that my wife isn't..." "For his wife it's fine." "Here's the key, room 101." "You know, that little girl playing at Bagni Stella, might have been me?" "You know..." "I've never been to Bagni Stella?" "Too bad." "GRAND PASSION" "Ma'am, goodbye." "And your husband?" "Darling?" "Elisa?" "Renza!" " You're out early this morning." " You too." "I went for... milk." "I bought some too." "Nice singing yesterday!" " Very good." " Thank you, you're sweet." "Elisa, today I'm giving Eugenio an albumin IV," "I saw his blood test, his albumin is low." "Good." "Nice robe!" "I've even made coffee." "Thank you, I'd be lost without you." "Hi, Mom." "How are you?" "Already awake?" "Yup." " Any milk?" " Sure, you bought it." "How come when Lavinia calls you never talk?" "I told you, I have an exam and have to study." "Hi, Mom." "You slept in your earrings?" "Sometimes I do." "But you didn't unmake the bed." "Luca, is that a thing to say?" "Oh sure, you just hang around doing fuck-all." "You?" "A pain in the ass with that piano for ten years." "When do you take off for Geneva?" "Be nice, wouldn't it?" " Dad likes to hear me play." " Yeah, sure." "Coffee." "I'll take this to Eugenio." "I'd already made the bed." "I know that." "Excuse me." " You forgot the bag." " What a head!" "Why don't you shave him with a razor blade?" " He likes it, poor thing." " I'm afraid I'll hurt him." "Besides, he only wants you with a razor blade." "Okay, thanks anyway." "Maestro, wake up, good morning." "How are you?" "Luca, stop those Clementi exercises!" "It's Chopin's "Heroic" you should practice, blockhead!" "I'm not interested in Chopin, Maestro, you know that." "I don't want to go to Geneva so I don't need Chopin." "Please excuse me, I should go." "What a scoundrel!" "What a scoundrel!" "The Geneva Conservatory wants him and he refused." "The "Heroic"... he plays it the way the maestro intended." "I just can't do it." "I don't have his talent." "You sure can!" "Conductors are the last remaining authority, no politician can rival them." "Only they, with one gesture, can silence the world and with another, give it voice, his baton penetrates the orchestra, impregnating it with music." "So this is no good for the maestro, something more authoritative." " You're perfectly right." " I know." "Giulietta, honey, get me a 4-ply cashmere sweater." "Cashmere is loaded with testosterone, do you good too." " Something's happened..." " What?" " Come outside and I'll tell you." " Tina, close the shop." "Calm down." "Tell me where she lives, her address." "I don't know, maybe not even here in Biella." "But I have to see her." " At chorus." " I can't wait till then." " You're in a hormone hurricane?" " Yes." " Sweetie, Mom's here." " You invited Patrizia to lunch?" "Not my mom, hers." "Hi, Lappo." "My mom!" "Your mother-in-law?" "My brothers came too." "Not her brothers!" " A nice group!" " Adrian and Ivan." "Come to lunch with me, give me a hand." "C'mon up!" "Where are you going?" "Looking for her, I told you." "You're a real friend!" "Sweetie, come, they're all here." " Coming." " Doctor Gambarova?" " Coming." " Doctor Gambarova?" "He retired, I'm his nephew." "A pleasure, Marcello Zambelli." "Chiara." "Can I help you?" "I'd like something to help me quit smoking." "Would you like a natural remedy like Valeriana officinalis or Rhadiola rosea" "or maybe a nicotine patch or nicotine chewing gum?" "Which one works?" "None, I can't quit even if I tie myself up." "I never thought of tying myself up." "If you need a volunteer..." "So, what'll it be?" "Everything." "There's a scent of smoke..." "Want a cigarette?" "Not for now, maybe if I can't quit, I'll come back." "Let's hope so." "Hi, I've been waiting for you." "In fact I'm late." "I don't mean today..." "Why did you go the other morning?" "I had things to do, and now too." "Why treat me like this?" "What did I do?" "Nothing, we were good together, stop." "Stop, go... a game!" "If we don't play at our age, when can we?" "I thought, after what happened, we'd be together." "You're so old-hat!" "Why should I be with you anyway?" " First thing, you're married." " Yes." "And I've seen better-looking men." "Elisa, they're waiting for us." "If you knew how nasty I was!" "I said: "You're not good-looking" and him: "I know"." ""You're even older than me", "I know"." "If he'd al least have said:" ""You're a bitch"..." " Why didn't he say that to me?" " Right, why?" "Because he's just too cute." " And I don't want to see him again." " Why not?" "Because I have a husband, even if I don't." "If you knew how tough it is for me!" "Going into that room gets harder and harder." "You still have pictures of Nappo." "I keep this one, it's good of me, I was a real doll!" "You still are." "Yoga keeps you taut, it relaxes you." "In certain positions," "I don't say you actually reach a satisfaction..." "Sexual?" "But almost." "Really?" " That's why they all do yoga." " Not only for that!" "You're both so sweet!" "Nappo's a real rascal." " And I'm a fool." " No." "I loved him so much and wanted his kids, but I don't have either him or kids." "And that's not enough, I watch over him." "I keep his chorus going," "I let myself be called mom by that fuc... fugitive." "Until just a few days ago, when he had a fever, I'd make him soup," "I'd wash his dirty clothes, now that bitch does, if she does, I mean." " Calm down, you're scaring the cats." " They're used to it!" "You're tearing the picture?" "It was a nice one of you!" "I'm just tearing him." "Fuck it all!" "No, come on." "Mom!" "Hadn't smoked since 1958, huh?" "I booked a double for you." "To use as a single!" "Our hotel." " I booked a double for you." " Thanks, no need." "Never know..." "Careful, early bird, or they'll steal your little worm!" "Who cares?" "I've got steak." "Right, my little tenderloin?" " This is our 4-star hotel." " How nice!" "Is there hydro?" " What?" " Hydro massage?" "There's no hydro, but he can give you a massage." "My brothers, c'mon, Lappo." "What did you put on?" " A beautiful tailored jacket." " On your face!" " Blush." " Not with glitter at least." " I changed brand." " It's a mistake to change." "You're so bitter!" "Coming." "No make-up, you're handsome as is." "It's for the lights." " Take that stuff away!" " It's good for the throat." "No blush, do this." "Did you see all the people?" "On stage!" "Why are you still there?" "On stage!" "I think the councilor won't give us travelling expenses." "Don't worry, leave the councilor to me." "On stage!" "Councilor, after the show could we all go to dinner?" "Fine, I'll join you." "What's wrong?" " Nothing." " Hiccups." "Take five slow sips, no breathing." "Head down." " What's the matter?" " We'll be right there." "One, two, three, four, five..." "no breathing." "Gone?" " If they come back?" " Another five sips." " Let's go." " No, I'll ruin everything, you go." " Come on!" " We'll be right there." "Do it for me, because when I come to chorus," "I put my worries behind me and pursue the music." "You do that too, please." "Come on, let's go." "Let myself go, pursue the music!" "Wait." "You saved me, I want to thank you." "If there's no solidarity in a chorus..." "Okay, goodnight." "Goodnight." "What's the matter?" "My appointment's been changed to tomorrow morning and..." " I'll leave now." " It's so late." " There must be a train." " I'll take you." " No." " I'll take you, won't sleep anyway." " When do we get paid?" " As soon as possible." " The time to get home..." " The time to get screwed!" "Great!" " What's wrong?" " They're just hicks." " What's wrong?" " Good song." "I said "what's wrong"!" "Don't worry about the money, we'll work it out." " Have you seen Flora?" " No." "What bums!" "By chance did you see a young lady, that friend of mine with long hair?" "No." "I'm sorry because Lappo was so good to me." "No, Lappo too old for you." "He's too old." "But I love you." " Want to marry me?" " Yes." "We make big party in Bulgaria, three days." "I do pregnant chicken soup." "Pour!" " You'll turn your liver to mush." " Is this a hospital?" " Are you a doctor or barman?" "Pour!" " It's closed!" "What a pain!" "The customer's always right." " This way." " Wasn't the elevator that way?" " She ran off with Mazinger Z." " Sure, with Jeeg, the Steel Robot!" "With a handsome guy." "You're a handsome guy, give me a little kiss." " Inside!" " C'mon, a little kiss." "Inside!" " The glass..." " It's mine." "Okay, it's on the house." "Oh God, a corpse!" "Who are you?" "Room service." "The bitch ran off, left me for a piano-bar pianist." " She left you?" " What's he got more than me?" "He's got thirty years less!" "Let me sleep!" "Pull these legs up, you kicked me!" "Get your hands off, good grief!" "You're so heavy!" "Gavino, Councilor!" " Come give me a hand." " Is he sick?" "He can't walk?" "No, I'm dragging him to clean the floor!" "Help me!" "You've gotten fat!" "You look like a beached whale." "Yeah, on the last beach out." "So, you're not asleep." "I like watching you work." "You're an idiot!" "She took everything I had, even the car." "Think those guys are really her brothers?" "But she left you something." "They're the most precious panties in the world, cost me 30,000 euros, cash." " You gave her 30,000 euros?" " Not to her, her dad." " Her dad?" " He had to buy a kidney." "What a fool I was, not taking anything from you, at least I could give it back now." "Thanks for scraping me up." "The elevator had to be freed." "You're a real mom." "Fuck off!" "Go to sleep." "I'll be right there." "Here you are." "Thank you for everything." "Don't mention it." "Wait." "Meeting you was a miracle for me," "I don't see why you refuse me, you must have a reason, but I ask just one thing:" "keep me in your life." "Argo!" "Argo, let's go!" "Luca, wait!" "I know that guy, he works at the Music Institute." " It's not what you think." " Dad's not dead yet!" "He's a good person, I can explain." "Every time you start a meal, some jerk comes along." "You're a door-to-door salesman now?" "I dumped the wife and the Witnesses." "I'm sorry." "Elisa?" "Her kids, problems..." "and so Elisa dumped me." "I warned you." "You can sleep on the couch if you want." "That hat?" "It's Mazzinghi's." "They dumped themselves here while I was working and so I recycled his hat." "Stories of pheasants..." " Stories of quails!" " Quail?" "Like my grandpa said:" ""If a girl wiggles like a quail, she's a whore, never fail"." "Learn something new everyday!" "Life is an immense dump heap." "So how can we commit suicide?" "In the incinerator." "With your collection!" "We'll drink up all the miniatures." "But they're the house virgins, it took me 30 years to collect them." "Do stamp collectors use their stamps?" " But they lick them." " No, never!" "They lick them secretly, at night." "I ordered a film on Popcorn TV," ""Zombie Hospital"." "Amelia, what's this?" " I'm leaving." " Where will you go?" "Villa Gioiosa," "I know the food's good and it's not expensive." "You told me, didn't you?" "Sure, but I didn't mean it." "There's no reason for me to stay here," "Giuseppe's gone," "I'm just a burden, and I'm not even your own mother." "So?" "I always fought with her too." "I remember." "But then we'd make up, we loved each other." "Don't go, please." "What?" "You're crying?" "You're crying?" "Well, if you want..." "I'll stay," "I'm glad to stay." "Stay, I'll even let you smoke, but in the bathroom!" " Not in the kitchen?" " No." "I used to love watching her sleep." "Who, the pheasant?" "She tucked her beak under her wing?" " And I felt sorry." " For who?" "For me, the spots, the belly..." "It's natural." "Then I see you and I almost cheer up." "And I almost tell you to fuck off!" "Knock it off!" " How long have we known each other?" " Since elementary school." "All the things we did together!" "We saw the same films, read the same books..." " Screwed the same women." " Yeah, sure!" "Why did I meet only bitches?" "Because you're a son of a bitch." "But with you it might be a bit..." "Go take a crap!" "Really, I like you." " Why didn't we become gay?" " Cut it out, Dolly!" "That's it, you're a pain in the ass." "I'm sleeping in another room." "Dolly, you're molesting me." "You're a royal bitch." "Another bitch on my list!" "Who is it?" "You go!" "I cooked, it's your turn." "Go!" "What a pain, it's always me." "Oh man!" "Who the fuck is it at this hour?" " Hi, Nappo." " Hi, Chiara, what's wrong?" "Sorry, I wasn't expecting you..." "I can see that." " Is Dad here?" " Yeah, sure you want to see him?" "That's why we came." "Giuseppe, you got visitors." "Sorry, your dad skips clean-up duty." "Your daughter's here." "Impossible, she's always at Jehovah's." "Deep breath." " Give me a cordial." " Hands off, they're sacred!" "Dad!" "What happened to you?" "Living with men is great, you can hang loose." " You've loosened some too." " Yeah..." " This is Marcello." " A pleasure, Dr. Zambelli." "The pharmacy guy." "My pleasure, Giuseppe Bonora, ex Italporte." " How about some coffee?" " Yes." "Put yourself together, I'll tidy up." "This is a republic, no prohibition on smoking." "But I've quit." " Quit?" " Yes." "Since when?" "Since..." "I got pregnant." " It burns." " It sure does!" " How'd it happen?" " It happened..." "Okay, I know how it happened." " Does Mom know?" " Almost." " Almost?" " When I told her, she fainted." " Maybe she heard, maybe not." " Hope not!" "Listen, this Marcello... he's not one of the Brothers?" "I wouldn't want a Jehovah grandson!" "No, but seriously, after you left, I realized." "I left the Witnesses and then..." "I had myself a big, big, big screw!" " Holy shit!" " Sorry." "But I feel like a bottle at New Year's, when you pop the cork... pum!" "I'm very happy." "And you said men didn't look at you!" "I realized men didn't like me because I didn't want them to." " But then..." " I went "pum"!" "Come on, darling." "I'm proud of her." "Me too, but not of you, and don't tell anyone you're my friend," "Grandpa." "That's life, make way for youth!" " Know what today is?" " Friday, why?" "Chorus day." "Chorus?" "We haven't been for 15 days." "Right, we have to go." "What's the Alpine chorus doing here?" "Let's go home." " Fuck off!" " Up yours!" "Cough up the transfer costs!" "I paid the light bill with it." "But we're in the dark!" "I gave you my castle, my passion, my art." "What more, my ass?" "We'll leave that privilege to Gavino." "Respect the maestro!" "No, he sold out his castle to those Feathers!" "You talk, it's your fault Patrizia left us." " Mom dumped us." " She left?" "Weren't you deaf?" "Yes, I'm deaf, but I know the world better than you who hear." "I'll handle this with Patrizia." "While you're at it, call Mazzinghi too." "Don't say that name!" "Elisa's gone too, any idea, Giuseppe?" "Leave him alone, you don't know his suffering." " It's your fault!" " Don't smoke, it ruins the voice." "My voice?" "What do I care?" "This chorus is dead!" "I'll decide, I created it!" "And I'll make another if I want." " This place's for singing!" " Then why the fuck are you here?" "I won't hurt you, you're decrepit." "I'll shove this feather down your throat, with the whole hat!" "What's he doing?" "He'll kill him!" " I want to say just one thing..." " One!" "Yes, one." "Please, why don't you go... do "Joska, Joska, Joska"." "Make them stop!" "Let's go, don't take it so hard." " C'mon, let's go." " Good, leave, it's best." " It was my family." " But I'm here." "You gotta go shopping, we drained the whole house." "There's my collection." "The miniatures?" "But they're the house virgins, they're thirty years old." "Right, they're old, old maids!" "Go get 'em, we're off to the pheasants!" "Possess 'em!" " Come on!" " I can really possess them?" " Possess 'em!" " Say it again!" "Possess 'em!" "You ugly whores!" "Another canteen, Bartali!" "Fausto, here we have a 1956 Vov," "Rabarbaro and Sambuca." "Gimme the Sambuca, gotta digest my grits." "I need somethin' strong." "Okay, this one's a real stinger!" "You'll fly like a bumblebee!" "What an idiot!" " What are you doing?" " The Flight of the Bumblebee!" "Tricked you." "Zizzola, you're mine!" "C'mon, let's go!" "Go back or I'll slash your tires." "That's enough!" " Hear the birds!" " The quail!" "You're going strong, eh?" "Go!" "I made it!" "Zizzola, you're mine!" "You really did it!" "C'mon, quit your tricks!" "I'm not kidding." "What's wrong?" "Can't breathe?" "Help!" "C'mon, Nappo!" "Help!" "Excuse me..." " You're Napoleone Chianese's friend?" " Yes, Nappo." "Give me the truth, Doctor, how is he?" "He's conscious, but his heart's the problem, he's still critical." "Can I see him?" "Yes, just one minute, but not with that face." "Then give me another one!" ""You're my only love, forgive me but send money for gas." "Flora. "" "Two of these left, do we drain 'em?" "Tell me if I got to the top." "You sure did, almost to Paradise!" "The doctors say if you pedal well, you'll get over this hill too." "But they say they want to call the family." "It's just what they say... and so, here I am." "Yes, but..." "I want her." "You know, you've got awesome luck with women?" "Look, right here's a message from her, she says she loves you, you're her only love." "Me too." "She's my only love too." "But there's no money for gas, if you want, I'll advance it and send a money order," "so we'll get her back." " You mean the pheasant?" " Yeah, the quail!" "No." "I..." "I want..." "I want..." " Who the fuck do you want?" " I want Patrizia." "You want Patrizia!" "Giuseppe, how is he?" " Come on." " There's also..." "We were together." "Let's go." "This way, Patrizia." "What are you doing here?" "Giuseppe told me you were very sick." "Or the heck you'd have come!" " You love to see me suffer." " Oh, come on!" " Well?" " Guess what, I did the Zizzola." "You did?" "Yeah, that's what Beppe says." " Really?" " Yeah." "I'm not sure if before the fall or after, but I thought I saw you." " Were you there?" " I appeared to you, like Holy Mary." " You've always saved me." " Especially from women!" " The others don't count." " Let's not count them!" "Only you count, my love." "Mom." "We could have done so much together:" "a family, a home, children." "Can you imagine little "nappinis"?" " Ever think about that?" " Everyday." " And why didn't we do it?" " Because we were too young." "Too young?" "You were almost 40 and I..." "Exactly." "Too young to be happy." "We think we have all the time..." " If I don't make it..." " Cut it out, don't say that." "Listen." "If I don't make it, get the chorus together again." "Ask Giuseppe and Elisa to help you." "It's your chorus and you'll do it yourself." "Besides, the chorus without you..." "The Chorus is the Chorus." "What, you're crying?" "Please, darling, I made you cry so much, now it's my turn." "Now it's my turn." "His coloring's not bad, right?" " No, not at all." " He's fine." "It's Loredana's blush." "See?" "No glitter." "Who's Loredana?" "The nurse." "Come on, Nappo!" "Doctor!" " Nappo!" " What's happening?" "I didn't go to chorus just to sing, that's true." "I was trying to get my mind off things, but the truth is..." "I didn't want to be happy anymore." "Like you, Lorenzo, you stopped seeing Lavinia." "Like you, Luca, you gave up your dream of the conservatory in Geneva." "It's our way of enduring the pain we feel for Dad." "But then I realized you can't endure pain" "unless you try to be happy." "And I want to try." "Please, you try too, if you can." "Promise?" "With a razor blade..." "I'm sorry, but I'm the only one who can do it." "Renza's good with the IV, but not your shave." "He'll go to Geneva, you'll see, like you wanted." "Poor Nappo, I just can't sing." "You have to, for him." "Remember what he said?" ""The Chorus is the Chorus"." "Can we sing for Nappo too?" "No, he couldn't stand it, even from the grave." "It was me who found him on the Zizzola." "I heard his last words." " What did he say?" " That he loved only you." "Only you." "Okay, what do you want to sing?" "Joska, Joska, Joska." "In all this, Elisa stayed at home with her husband," "I continued living at Nappo's, but something did change:" "now we stand close in the chorus." "We can't talk much, but it's well known, when words leave off, music begins." "translation Charlotte Lantery subtitles OMBRE ELETTRICHE" " Roma"
