"Since when is it also taxed?" "It's the second notice." "Afterward, it's foreclosure." "I'm sorry, but here you'll foreclose nothing." "Everything's mine." "The apartment is in my name." "So take your paper and good-bye." "But aren't you his wife?" "No, I'm not his wife." "Bye." "Why not try the door across the hall?" "Wake up, Dino." "It's late." "Come on." "I was just having a superb dream." "Onassis, on his knees, was asking me for money." "I was saying to him: "Look, Aristotel, times are hard for me also. "" "All this in greek." "It's not late, it's only 7h30." "It's a quarter to nine." "A quarter to nine?" "Damn!" "That's where buying a watch from a friend gets you." "What a jerk, this Nando!" "6,000 lire thrown out of the window." "A quarter to nine..." "I have to meet my son at 9h." "It's not true!" "I had asked you to wake me up." "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" "I've called you six times." "Yes, sure..." "And now, what am I going to do?" "My wife's lawyer has summoned me at 9." "A quarter of an hour it's not enough." "I've got to shave, get dressed..." " Do I have a clean shirt?" " Yes." "Do you think Robertino will recognise me?" "Why don't we make a handsome boy?" "Or a beautiful little girl." "Would you like that?" "Don't talk nonsense." "Come on, hurry up." "If you're late, you're wife..." "Damn encyclopedia!" "You haven't sold not even one." "Yes, I did sell one." "Yes, the client disappeared after the first installment." "He didn't disappear, he went to jail." "Someone came to ask for the taxes for the shop." "I'll talk to Casotti." "Taxes, it's something he knows." " Here, it will get cold." " Thanks." "It's hot." "I've introduced Casotti to Mr. Rigoni." "He almost cut his income taxes in half.." "Introducing them made me 200,000 lire." "Did you get it?" "No, I will, tomorow, or the day after tomorrow." "I'll call him today." " Where's my shirt?" " Right under your nose." "O, yes." ""Hello." "Your shirt is as good as new. "" "Washed, ironed, and burnt." "Damn it!" "Are you going to the beach?" "On this heat, I will go after office." "Aren't you going to feel lost without me?" "You'll be with your son." "That is if you'll not be free at 2 o'clock." "I haven't seen him in five years." "I can spend the whole day with him, can't I?" "Am I young for a father?" "Come on, hurry up." "Yesterday, I've been offered a pair of beavers." "You can raise them at home." "It breeds very quickly." "In one year, we'll have 200." "In two years..." "I can drop you at the hotel, if you want." "No, take me to the garage, I'll rent a car." "I can lend you mine." "No, otherwise you'll be late." "And how will you go at the beach?" "One of my colleagues could take me." "No, I'll find a car at the garage." "And don't drive on the middle of the road." "Have you got any money?" "Yes." "But the guy at the garage is a friend." "He never asks for money." "And I don't want one more dime from you, it's humiliating." "Here, 10,000 lire." "20,000, would be better.." "You're keeping track of this, yes?" "I must owe you around 100,000." "Maybe a little more, but not much more." "I'd say 160,000." "That's what I said." "If I tell you I've only got this Seicento." "Do you expect me to drive my son around in a Seicento ?" "Why?" "Doesn't he fit in?" "You don't understand anything." "Have you got kids?" "Five of them." "Want them?" "I'll give them to you." "Happy you, for having had the courage of dumping wife and kid!" "You know how to live." "In our days, you must free, without strings." "Give me this one." "It belongs to an Americain a little..." "It's 20 000 lire for every 100 km." "If I give it to you, what am I left with?" "Then take the Seicento!" "Wouldn't you be interessed in an Encyclopedie Britannica?" "24 volumes, all in English, with an appendix and..." "No, you're not interessed." "Look what I've got!" "Paris, Crazy Horse." "Strip-tease." "Show me." "You want it?" "It's yours." " Give me the keys." " 20,000, Dino." "A nice tax cut." "One of my school mates is a manager with the Revenue Service." "Who knows how much you're paying..." "It's not me that pays it, it's the owner who does." "If he does..." "Alright..." "I'll leave it as security." "It's a 150 000 lire swiss watch." "Take care of it." "Take this." "Fill it up right away, or it'll leave you in the middle of the road." "She drinks a lot, worse than my mother-in-law!" "Robertino." "Come here." "How you've grown up." "Give daddy a hug." "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Mr. Versini?" "Yes." "I'm your son's nurse." "I'm sorry for being a little late." "My necktie..." "Where is Robertino?" "He's coming down right now." "And my wife?" "She had to leave at 9 o'clock." "Robertino..." "Let's go." "One moment." "The little one can't eat everything." "Here's the list with what he musn't eat." "And do bring him back at 20:00 precisely, because he eats at 20:30 and goes to bed at 21:00." "You can speak German?" "What d'you know!" "What has she told you?" "To be a good boy." "Well done, Robertino." "Here's mother." "Take this into my room." "Of course, madame." "Anna!" "Hello, Dino." "How're you?" "Well, and you?" "Say hello to mother." "We already have." "Isn't it so?" "More than half an hour ago." "Am I stupid or what?" "!" "You look very well." "Younger, more beautiful..." "Taller..." "You also look well." "Is business going better?" "Yes, much better." "I have a lot of work to do, and very little spare time." "What if the three of us went out?" "Let's go in the countryside." "Like in th eold good days, when I was pushing his pram and you..." "No, it's better you two go alone." "I've got things to do." "If that's the case, I could drive you." "I've got a new American car, I've just bought it." "Madame?" "Alitalia calling." "One moment." "I'm sorry, we'll meeting the evening." "This morning," "I'm very busy." "Remember to be back at 20:00 sharp." "The little one must be in bed by 21:00." " Agreed." " Bye." "Right turn!" "Hello?" "I confirm for tomorrow afternoon." "Yes, three seats." "To Geneva."

"This little 500 lire compass..." "for you?" "But I want to buy a..." "Know what I'll buy you?" "A big Meccano!" "Every kids dream." "When I was little I was poor, and I was given a "number 2", that was very small." "But with the big ones, you can build an Eiffel Tower, this big." "There's one in Paris 300 m high." "I'll take you see it, one day." "I've already been there." "There's a big restaurant on the top, and they've made me eat duck with oranges." "It has disappeared." "It's there." "Can you get to it?"

"You know, when I was a kid I wanted to be..." "Would you like being an engineer?" "I'd like to be an "explace"." "What's that?" "An austral explorer." "Obviously you don't read "I Romanzi di Urania"." "No, but, even for an explace, a nice Meccano, is very good." "I'm sorry it's a little dusty" "Meccano doesn't really sell anymore." "It doesn't matter." "Can I see it?" "It's very beautiful." " How much is it?" " 16 000." "16 000 lires?" "That's why they don't sell anymore!" " Shall I wrap it up?" " Yes." " Shall I take the price tag off?" " No, leave it, the mother will." "Shall we go, Robertino?" "Why don't you write?" "It's because the lawyer has forbidden me any kind of direct contact with your mother." "I was not to see her, or write to her." "You know, divorce, is a complicated thing." "But I sent you a lot of postcards." "Three." "From now on, I'll write you long letters." "Can you read?" "Yes, and I can also write." " I'm writing a book." " O, yes?" "Here it is."

"To escape, we dug a tunnel... .. that started in the camp, went under the barbed wire, and off into the jungle." "On took turns at it, each six hours long." "I still have dirty fingernails from it." "I dug by night, 'cause I have the eyes of a cat." "We broke free, in the end." "And we stumbbled upon a Bengali envoy." "You know, with eyes like this." "I jumped him, I didn't hurt him, just knocked him out." "I took his motorcycle, and drove off, but I was shot on." "They went here, here, and there..." "At a certain moment I turned around, there was a tank there, trucks there, with Indian, English, and the ferocious Bengali soldiers." "Then I went on a mound and, with full speed," "I went over the 2 m high barbed wire." "The only thing is that, on the other side, there was another barbed wire." "So, I turned and..." "I had to give myself up." "All the others are dead." "All dead, except me." "You make me talk and you don't say anything?" "Don't you have anything to tell?" "What should I say?" "I don't know..."

"Then Roby and me decided to run away." " Did you do it?" " No." "Why not?" "Because I couldn't find my mountain shoes." "Couldn't Roby have lent you a pair?" "But Roby is the dog!" "Then, I was sent to boarding school." "The principal is 12 meters tall." "He's ugly and has moustache down to the ground." "And he breathes." "Everybody breathes." "He always breathes into your face." "But Charly Kauffman and me have decided to make him die." "We take poison and spary it on our notebooks." "When the principal takes the finger to his mouth and then on the page, he brings poison on his tongue, and it gets in the saliva and spreads into the body." "And the principal dies." "Unfortunately, he feels no pain." "Indiens put this poison on their arrows." " He'll be all green." " That's mean boys stuff." "Mother makes me confess every month."

"There's a boatman, a goat, a wolf and a cabbage." "He must get them across the river." "I know it." "The goat mustn't eat the cabbage and the wolf mustn't eat the goat." "It's very easy." "I'm listening." "Tell me in 10 seconds how he does it." "One, two, three..." "The boatman takes the wolf on the other bank" "Then he takes the goat, and leaves the cabbage..." "No, he comes back to take the cabbage and leaves the goat." "No, the cabbage takes the goat..." "He takes the wolf." "It's over, you're out." " Do you want some swiss francs?" " No." " Spanish pesetas?" " No." "Give me 10 dollars." " These ones?" " Yes." "10 dollars, it's a lot of lire." "Then, the french banknote." " This one?" " Yes." " And you give me firecrackers." " Here." "You, come here." "Listen, Robertino." "Know what?" "Give me the pesetas and I'll show you a trick." "What?" "Agreed." "Come, Remo." "Where're you going, Robertino?" "Your grandpa doesn't come with us." "Here, take the ball." "And don't let this sucker play." "What?" "Have you ever seen a naked woman?" "Adam and Eve were driven away from the earthly paradise." "Why?" "They went out of the Lord's word." "They've eaten the apple from the tree of Good and Evil." "You see?" "He's crying." "Yes, but she seems to be laughing." "She liked the apple."

"Dad, I don't have bathing trunks." "Milcare, have you got bathing trunks for my son?" "Have to buy it!" "Even if it's for the kid..." "If you tell me how she looks, I could help you." " Who?" " This Elsa." "I'm not looking for her." "I was just checking if there were any friends around." "Listen to me." "Now you're a big boy, I can talk to you." "I loved mother a lot." "But certain things happned that you couldn't understand." "But I do, and very well." "Yuo were always fighting." "Sometimes." "It always was my fault." "Yes, that's what mother says." "As I was telling you, a man..." "A man can't be alone." "It's impossible." "He needs companionship." "You see, even you couldn't live on your own." "You need someone to take care of you, to dress you..." "Does Elsa?" "Make a little effort." "You usualy have commonsense." "I can do it." "I was saying, a man can't be on his own." "He needs someone." "Your father is still young and..." "So I've met Elsa..." "She's a nice girl." "I don't even support her, because she also works." "She makes a living." "Women also have to work."

"Never a tip." "Sell the Encyclopedias first!" "Nobosy wants them!" "Are you coming, Robertino?" "Come on." "Do you love her?" "Who?" "Elsa?" "Yes." "Like you did mother?" "It's different." "You don't fall in love only once." "Every time you fall in love, it's different." "Sometimes you think you're in love, but you are not." "Haven't you ever been in love?" "Only three 3 times." "Seriously, I mean." "What are you doing?" "Hiding yourself?" "Are you afraid dad will see your weennie?" "Alright, I won't be looking." "Only three times..." "Including once, seriously, with Mirella?" "No, it was her cousin I liked." "But, unfortunately, it was impossible." "Impossible?" "I imagine there was another man involved." "Yes, her husband."
