"i'm sure that during the program he'll ask for my resignation." "I didn't know about that." "Nevermind, i thought about that ." "Mr Botero, what can you tell me about the electoral archieves ?" "Is it true that your voters get listed depending on the favors you promise them in exchange for their vote, or, to better says, for a "vote package" ?" "I have no idea what you are talking about ." " Then, no ?" " No." " I don't believe you." " I don't care." "Castri has rejected your law proposal, so i ask you:" "aren't you part of the same governement ?" "The Bible says :" ""God abandoned the world to discussions"." "And that's what i did as well." "But, what has the Bible to do with this ?" "Castri sustained my law had not the right characteristics, but the truth is that that law would have disturbed those in the government who prefer blathers to facts ." "The facts ?" "Which facts ?" "Firing 2000 workers, selling 2/3 of the petrochemical pole to privats buyers and creating a holding in joint venture with some canadian corporation..." "These are the the facts!" "Here they are !" "Do not scream." "It's useless." "When i was younger i was a referee and when 2000 people where screaming at me: "traitor", i always remained indifferent." "Then, you can figure how much your screams can impress me !" "But then, after the reject by Castri, why you don't resign ?" "I did it !" "One hour ago, i gave my resignation letter to the Prime Minister ." "No, Mr Minister, you are not resigning for real, you want to arrive to the next elections with free hands in the hope to be re-elected with a stronger power." "Just voices." "So these are voices !" "Ok." "If that's the case," "I won't speak anymore." "I'll stay here, like this until the end of the program." "Then, you won't speak." "That's good, Sanna." "You know why ?" "it doesn't matter if you talk or not" "History shutted you up !" " So, this Professor, does it work ?" " He does, he does ." "So, my decret-law ?" "It's not ready yet ." "I make a decret-law because i'm in a hurry, and you take a week !" "They say institutions are slow, but you are slow !" "Luciano, what do you think now of politics ?" "I thought it was more made into offices...." "Ah, the offices !" "Who cares ?" "Are we yet in the 50s ?" "!" "A toast to Valerio Polline, nr. 2 of the party, like me ." "To Mantova, where we will challenge Castri in his own house." "And another to Sebastiano Tramonti, as a partial refound for this boring years spent with me, far from his beloved province, and his books." "To the person that taught me to love politics and to fight for change." "Sebastano, i wanted you to have the direction of the Cinema Centre, but they told me cinema is dead." "Then we toast to the new Administrator of the National" "Chemical Industries." "Chemical industries..." "Cesare, really, let me go home." "In the end, a toast to Luciano." "That will substitutes the unsubstitueble Sebastiano!" "Congratz, Luciano!" "Congratulations." "Thanks!" "I didn't wrote this ." "Luciano..." "Irene ..." "If you din't come, I would have." "You are coming back late." "We worked until now." "Before, i saw, she came back..." "What's her name ?" "Ah..." "Juliette !" "Now i feel safer." "Why ?" "She's too beautiful for you ." "I'm a genius, i have too many ideas ." "What about adopting one ?" "One what ?" "Mr Director !" "What is it ?" ""This is the letter to the world that i never wrote ."" "This is one of Emily Dickinson poem beginning." "Do you remember ?" "We had three lessons about it ." "I told the Director we were doing A. Alfieri, from which i saved you." "I would have loved to continue like this." "I would have told you about the Bronte sisters, instead of Zanella, about "Moby Dick", more than "Traversando la Maremma Toscana", about Rimbaud, instead of D'Annunzio." "That's also my fault, and once again i'm sorry for that ." "But my house is falling ." "At first floor, there is a room where for one night Carlo Pisacane slept." "In the armchair, my mother kept a cup, used in 1941 by" "Benedetto Croce to drink a coffe." "I don't ask you to forgive me, but at least to understand ." "Oh, wait, it's me !" "Enough, leave him alone !" "Trip was fine ?" " Ah, Luciano !" " Ciao." "You like it ?" "I bought it two years ago." "A good deal ." "Very nice, it looks like a Phalanstere." "A what ?" "An ideal society according to the ideas of Fourier." "30 years of work, of political battles, didn't make of me a powerful man." "I know i want to be free." "I know i have to answer to someone, from who, everyday, i wait for suggestions and advices." "Every morning, at the beginning of the day , i come here, in His home to hear Him , to find Him , to honour Him." "That's me, Federico Castri." "A man like many others ." "So, any idea about how to attack him ?" ""This is Castri, a liar like many others."" "We can't, this is negative advertise." "You can't, in Italy." "And that's why everyone talks in a good way of everybody." "Maybe ." "19 - 17." " Look, look !" " What ?" "Luciano, he wants to win !" "Wait." "No, leave me." "I have to talk to him." "I have nothing to tell you." "I have to talk with him !" "Sebastiano !" "What happens ?" "That's not the right moment." "What happens ?" "Let him talk ." "Let's talk ." "Well, i thought about that position, i don't think i'm able, i don't think.." "So, i make you GM of the National Chemical Industry, and you complain." "What should i do there ?" "I got there yesterday, and the President the directors they told me that everything is actually handled by you ." "That's true ." "3rd section C, year 85/86, that was a good class."

"Anguilla had a crush on Zollo, but him, no." "He never realized." "And so, at Abetone, he finished in the same tend with Sopranzi." "Zollo, a great guy !" "Surprise !" "Can you guess what they are ?" "The saturnian codes." "No, it's impossible ." "They are under renovation." "You can't see them." "I asked for them once in the name of the Minister ." "Look, look at this beautiful plain ruined by those that for 30 years just cared about their client system." "Tell this guy not to film me ." "I don't want to appear on your channels." "I don't own any channels, dear journalist ." "Really ?" "It's so easy the life in the opposition :" "this is no good, this offends the woman this is against minorancies, this is against the workers ."

"Sanna, you are a criminal ." "Good morning, we thanks the culture department, the public relation office of Mantova , and all my collegues from the foreign press present today ." "Because we are suddenly finding us in a electoral campaign ," "Mr Botero will be happy to answer to all your questions about internal politics ." "Liana Navacova, "Rude Pravo", please !" "Mr Minister, they say you are trying to avoid your defeat after the rejection made to your law proposal." "Do you have anything to say about this ?" "No, Madame, i'm not trying to avoid." "According to your definition, i have already avoided !" "I just signed a deal with a big society with a canadian company which will acquire 10 % of the public chemical pole." "But, in doing so, you lost 10% of your belongings." "Well, yes, obsolete, useless productions, a continuos loss ." "Do you know what does this implant produce?" "Plastic recipients for children using a brevet from 1947." "Try to show one of this recipients to your son , grey, without colours, with the shape of a hippopotamo, he'll throw it back at you !" "Can we know what you produce in the other implants, please ?" "Madam, i don't have right now all the documentation , but i told you, as i said, they are old productions, always in loss ."

"Some members of the government in particular F. Castri, accuse you of being a comedician, what do you answer ?" "If i am a comedician, then Castri is just a secondary character." "Did you see his electoral advertisement ?" ""This is me, Federico Castri," ""a liar as many others."" "No, maybe it's not like this ." "Maybe it's just slightly different, but that's the meaning." "And so, Sebastiano, how did i go ?" "Perfect, Cesare." "But what is this 10% storiy, i didn't know anything !" "What about luch at Quattro Fanti, maccaroni "allo stracotto"."
