"But it happened, and I'm no Ionger a child." "It's as if I've entered a labyrinth and can't find an exit." "It's a terrifying feeling." "I know it's just for the moment, but how long can this moment last?" "How long can it last?" "There are short and long moments." "Eternity is but a moment." "I know, father, but please don't laugh at me." "Try to go away from Rome for a while." "I' II be honest with you, my son," "I didn't understand a word of what you just told me." "What happened to you?" "Remember that life is also a game." "I know, but I also know that everyone needs time." "Sorry if I wasn't so clear, but I don't feel very well." "I noticed." "Nobody was down on his knees, where you are now, just to tell me: "I'm fine. "" " It's only normal." " Thank you." "What should I do?" "Go with God's grace." "Bye, Maurizio." "Father Maurizio!"

"She woke up and started singing "Pazza idea"." "whole day long." "She repeatedly asked for some zuppa inglese." "Our father wanted to kick her out from the house." "please, do something!" "It's nothing." "It' s just for the moment, but how long can this moment last?" " Aooh!" " What are you doing?" " No!" " stop!" "Try to calm her down and then bring her to the sacristy." "5 minutes and it will all be over." "I've had enough of you!" "What an unbearable family you are!" "This one's a true professional." "Leave now, I want to be alone with her." ""AII together!"" "It's so hot!" "It's so hot in here." "That zuppa inglese!" "It's still sitting on my stomach." "My god, the pain!" "But it was so good!" "I'm crazy about zuppa inglese!" "I couId eat..." "Maurizio!"

"I am all naked again." "It's so cold!" "Oh, the pain..." "What's going on?" "Where am I?" "Dear Mother of God!" "What happened?" "Easy." "My thighs hurt and my stomach too." " How are you now, madam?" " Bad." "I feel as if I had indigestion." "I feel full." "You ate too much zuppa inglese last night." " Come, I'II show you the way." " Many thanks." "Saverio, tell her cousins to take her home and let her rest." "Who are you?" " From where did you escape?" " From the lady." "The lady?" " You are that revolting thing that was inside that woman?" " Yes." "No." "The woman was that revolting thing that was outside of me." "Maurizio!" "My legs!" "I couldn't move them inside that fatty." "I was dying to stretch them a bit, Maurizio." " What shall we do?" "Where shall we go?" " It can't be true!" " Let me touch you." " Where?" "impossible!" "I am dreaming." "I'II close my eyes and you go where you want." "You don't exist." "I'm walking alone." "I'm talking to myself." "It's completely normal!" "A Iot of people talk to themselves." "Maurizio!" "Maurizio, don't leave me alone." "My feet are so cold!" "Maurizio!" "Of course, seeing something that isn't there doesn't happen to everybody." "I bet that if I was to turn around now, I wouldn't see you." "I see you." "I see you." "But you're not there." "You don't exist." "Maurizio!" "Maurizio!" "Maurizio!" " Who's there?" " What do you mean?" "It's me, Giuditta." "What do you want?" "Go away." "Leave me alone, I'm very busy." "Maurizio, please open." "My feet are cold to death." "Maurizio, I'm naked and it's crawling with priests here." "please, open." "Ok, Iet's get this over with." "It lasted long enough." "Did you run away from a circus?" "Can't you see that I'm not amused by your stupid story." "Do you really think you'II convince me that you are the dev..." "Maurizio, is something wrong?" "Don't scare me." " I'II be back soon." " Maurizio!" " No, stay there!" "Stay there and trust me." "I will be back soon." "I'II be back right away." "Maurizio!" "Father Maurizio, what's going on?" "Turn down the music, please!" "Here I am!" "I'm coming!" " What's going on inside there?" " Nothing, you needn't worry." " Is there somebody inside?" " No." "I forgot that my nephew is there." "He arrived this morning." "He's an eccentric person." "He likes music." "Bummer!" "Who switched the music off?" "Maurizio!" "You are back!" "What a drag!" "Your clothes are all alike!" "identical!" " How does it fit me?" " It fits you good." "I want to know right away, what do you want from me!" ""What do you want from me?"" "I am your nephew." "What does a nephew want from his uncle?" "I shouldn't even be here." "If they catch me..." " What shall we do?" "Where shall we go?" " Shut up, foul creature!" "Stop it with this "foul creature"!" "I don't like it when you say that!" "I dont like it!" "Enough!" "We are beautiful foul creatures!" "Maurizio, a foul creature!" "But it's beautiful." "Have you ever seen such a beautiful foul creature?" "What shall we do?" "Where shall we go?" " Do you want to go out?" " Yes." " Just you and me." "We'II take the car." "I'II put on my jacket." "You put on yours too." "We're leaving straight away."

"I'II buy you a nice new suit and a hat." "Something chic." "You'II be beautiful and I'II be proud of you." "I've been wanting to go shopping with an old friend for quite a while." "We are ready." "It would be better if I knew your name, before..." " What's your name?" " Mine?" " Yes." " Giuditta." " Give me your hand, Giuditta." "Nice to meet you." "Now that we are friends..." " Did I offend you by calling you "foul creature"?" " Yes, a Iot." "Sorry, it won't happen again." "I misjudged you." "It was probably because of that fur coat you were wearing." "No..." "No, it wouId be best if you leave the fur coat there." "It's really ugly." "Come on, I'II show you the world." "You haven't seen it before, have you?" " No." " You'II be fascinated." "Let's see if there's anybody around." "Ok, the coast is clear." "beautiful, Maurizio!" "It's beautiful here!" "Maurizio, what is this?" " Second gear." " No, it's the handbrake." "And this?"

"They arrested a young man last night." "He says he's your son." "It's a lie and nobody believed it, but you'II have to come with us for verification." " I was talking to..." " It won't take long." "I'm sorry, Patrizia." "finally!" "Take a seat." "Bring him here." "Take him away, please!" "We found him at the train station, completely naked." "He wanted the driving license of some gloria with fruit." " He mentioned your name." "You know him." "You must take responsibility." " Yes." "He asked for zuppa inglese all night long." "But we don't have any." "There was none even at the café." "What a drag!" "You have nothing here!" "Nothing!" "The whole night was a pain in the ass..." "Maurizio!" "Maurizio, where have you been?" "How are you?" "This is Maurizio!" "Maurizio!" "This is one of the most boring places I ever saw." "There's nothing!" "The only good thing was this suit." "It's very nice." "When they put it..." " Mr. Giuditta, please." " I won't stay here." "AII night long..." "There's nothing..." "Let's go, Maurizio." "Father, would you please send the uniform back to the police station ASAP." "To the train station!" "Let's go, Maurizio." "calm down, Maurizio." "relax, Maurizio, calm down." "You know something?" "You're a liar!" "You're a liar, no doubt about it." "I knew it from the begining." "Anyway, I don't care." "What you do is your business." "Did you notice I never said a word to you?" "I pretend you are a friend or a relative that came to visit me." "And you can..." "You can stay as long as you want." "I don't even want to know why you're here, because it's clear that you have your reasons." "But I'II give you an advice." "You must behave." "I bought you a suit so you won't have a reason to go around naked anymore." "I'm just asking you not to make them expel me." "Am I asking too much?" "And don't laugh like a smart-aIeck." "Are you trying to move me?" "I can do that too." "Maurizio, where are we going for dinner?" "Where's this restaurant?" "I see you didn't understand a thing I said." "We're not going out to eat." "I'm going out to eat and I'II bring you something when I come back." "I'm going to the restaurant alone." " What shall I do all night long?" " Since you Iike yourself so much, watch yourself in the mirror!" "That suit is not bad at all." "Damn!" "Maurizio, I don't like this suit." "The suit is disgusting, but the person inside..." "holy cow!" "I can't believe it." "We are an amazing race!" "Look..." "Eh?" "I have a distinguished taste." "I never like something straight away." "Maurizio, take me to dinner." "I promise I'II stay quite the whole evening." "I won't say a word." "Come on, Maurizio, take me to dinner." "Maurizio!" " Take you to "Benvenuto's"?" " Yes, thank you." "They wouldn't even let you in." "An ignorant like you..." " You probably never went to school." " To school?" "school!" "Arithmetic!" "Two times one, nine!" "Two times two, fourteen!" "Two times three, fifteen!" "Two times four, zero!" "Two times five, nothing!" "Two times six, nothing!" "Two times seven, nothing!" "History!" "The BabyIonians?" "The BabyIonians are all dead." "Geography!" "The Japanese?" "There are 123 Japanese!" "physical education!" "Do this exsercise!" "Come on, Maurizio, take me to dinner with you." "No!" "I said no and I'II say it again." "No!" " Yes?" " It's Father Maurizio, some friends are waiting for me." " Come in, please." " Good evening." " This way." "Father Maurizio!" " How are you, Roberto?" " Thank you for coming." "I want to introduce you to my mother." " My pleasure." " The pleasure is mine, madam." " This is my father." " pleased to meet you." "allow me to express my gratitude, Father Maurizio." "My son is always talking about you." "Your son is very kind, but, believe me, it's all his merit." "He had what it takes." "AII I had to do was to follow his studies, and point him in the right direction." "For everything else, the merit is his and yours, of course, for being such good parents." " Yes?" " It's gloria, I Ieft the driving license on the table, next to the fruit." "What is it?" "I'm looking for father Maurizio." "I'm a bit late." " Who should I announce?" " Giuditta." " Giuditta Giuditta." " Wait here." "Giuditta." " Thanks." "Father, Mr. Giuditta is here." " Who?" " Mr. Giuditta." "Maurizio!" "Good evening." "Excuse me." "I have to say something urgent to Maurizio, and I'II leave straight away." "I will eat alone." "What are you saying?" "Father Maurizio's friend is welcome here." "Take a seat." "honestly I'm not a friend, but his biological nephew." "A nephew?" "Nice!" "cold you pass me the wine, please?" "Yes." " Do you want this one too?" " No!" " Do you want something to eat?" " You scared the hell out of me." " Do you have some zuppa inglese?" " No, it's finished." "Nothing?" "Not even a little bit?" " tell me the truth." " It's true." "It's finished." "Do you live here or are you just passing by?" "He came to my place, but only for a few days." "He needs to recover a bit." "Because, as you probably noticed, he's not completely..." "You see..." "He had a rough experience." "His girlfriend left him." " And he's not all there anymore." " I understand you." "In my time it was much more difficult and, because of that, we suffered more." "You're right." "Nowadays they make love before even getting to know each other." "Yes, they make love easily." " They make what?" " Love." "What does it mean?" " To make love!" " To be with a woman physically." "To possess her physically." "How can I say this?" "Possess her!" "Ah!" "Now I got it!" "It happened to me with Giuditta." " Did you break up?" " They made me leave her!" "Anyhow, intimate relationships make you rich inside." " What did that girl leave you?" " A fur coat." "Maurizio, what happened to Giuditta's fur coat?" "I Iooked good in it." "Excuse me, how old was she?" "Was she your age?" "No!" "Me and Giuditta the same age..." "She was 63 or 64." "Maybe even 65." "A tremendously ugly fat woman!" "Her family was an awful pain in the ass!" "How did you meet this..." "By chance." "One night I went inside her suddenly, while she was sleeping." "How did she react?" "She didn't even notice." "It was night-time." "She was asleep." "I was inside her two days, but she didn't notice a thing." "You possessed that 64 old year woman, for two days?" "In bed?" "Not only in bed!" "In the kitchen, the bathroom  on the street, on the bus on the bike, wherever she went." "I couldn't go in and out continuously." "When I'm in, I'm in." "If I had gone out, she would've run away." "Her entire family tried to pull me out, but I wouldn't budge." " What did you say her name?" " Giuditta." " So you knew her?" " Yes, I met her." "Why did you choose a 64 year old year woman?" "I didn't care how old she was." "I escaped and I wanted to get inside of somebody." "Why would I care about her age?" "I found a lady and, zap, I got inside." "Was I supposed to ask for her age?" "Had it been you, I would've gotten into you." "Had it been the lady here, zap, I would've gotten into her." "It's all the same to me!" "Why would I care how old she is?" "What a dinner!" "I'II never forget it." "I'II never have the courage, to face all those people again." "Is it possible?" "Is it possible that you didn't understand?" "I can't believe it, Giuditta." "You really didn't understand what happened?" "For a moment, I thought you were the only normal person at the table." "Maybe I drank too much." "Taxi!" "Taxi!" "At this time of night we'II get there faster on foot." "With all the wine I drank, a little walk will do me good." "Damn, it's windy!" "I drank too much." "I have to take a leak." " You wait here, Giuditta." " Where?" "Here." "I'm going to take a leak." "It's been years since I went out at night." "I don't even remember when was the Iast time I did it." "Do you know what I wanted to be when I was a kid?" "I'II tell you, but don't tell anybody." "I wanted to be a singer." "I began studying double bass." "I must make an effort not to think about that day." "If only I'd said:" ""First street on the right." "Goodbye. "" "Instead I told her: "If you don't mind, I'II take you there. "" ""No, no, mister. "- she replied." ""I don't want to bother you. "" ""It would be a pleasure." "You see, I was going for a stroll, and I don't do that often. "" "She looked at me in a strange way." ""What do you mean by that?" "How come you don't go out often?"" ""You see, I am a priest, miss. "" ""I never would've thought it. " "Thanks." "You're too kind. "" "She said: "well, I arrived. "" "I said: "Me too. "" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Are you still taking a wizz?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Can you hear me?" "Stop it!" "Are you crazy?" "Put it back inside." "Put what back inside?" "Do you want to flood the city?" "Can you hear the music?" "Music!" " Music!" "Over there!" " I don't hear any music." "Maurizio!" "Music!" "Come, Maurizio." "Listen!" "Model number 8:" "Charlotte."

"Model number 11:" "Eleonora;" "and model number 12:" "Giorgio." "And now, admire the shades and the suffering of the colours, on outfits so serenely restless." "Remain seated, please." "Don't go away!" "And now, the wind brings us model number 13!" "A beautiful and unique wedding dress that needs no further comments." "Oh, poor dear." "I will help you." "It is wonderul here!" "Did you see?" "The first one in red the second one with the wind..." "Maurizio!" "I want to stay here forever, Maurizio!" "Listen, we can't stay here forever because it's getting very late." "I am very tired and I have a very strong headache." "Therefore we'II go home straight away, understand?" "I can't stand up anymore." " Maurizio!" " I just can't." "Maurizio!" " Maurizio!" " Where are you going?" " It's the wind!" "It's too strong!" " help me!" " Come down!" " They're pulling me!" " Who is pulling you?" " Maurizio, help me!" " What are you saying?" " Maurizio, they are pulling me!" "Giuditta, where are you?" "Come here!" " Maurizio!" " Giuditta!" "I am here!" "Grab my hands!" "I'm not going back there!" "pull, Maurizio!" "calm down, you are on the ground." "Maurizio!" "Is Father Maurizio there?" "It's late they are waiting for him for the mass." " Who?" " Father Maurizio needs to get dressed for the mass." "Where is he?" " Get dressed?" " Yes." " For the mass?" " Yes." "He's sick." "He's very sick." "He was sick all night long." "really sick." " He told me: "If a certain... " What's your name?" " Saverio." ""If Saverio comes, tell him I can't make it." "You go instead. "" " Let's go, quickly." " You?" " Yes, Iet's go." " Ok." "I'II go." " Who made you this suit?" " I bought it." "Nice!" "So you had some clothes!" "It's just that not one of them is pretty." "only this one is cute." "And that one." " Do you Iike it?" "What's your name?" " Saverio." " I knew it!" "Saverio, you must stay calm and fix yourself up." "Your nicest suit is that one." "I Iike it more than anything." "Saverio!" "What shall we do?" "Where shall we go?" "We should go over there." "But I don't know if..." " There?" " Yes." " What's there?" " What do you mean?" "I'II take a look." "You wait here." "Saverio, it's full of people there." "Of course." "They're here for the mass." "They've been waiting for over half an hour." " Waiting for what?" " You!" " Me?" "They're waiting for me?" "I get it now!" "I'II go first and, after a while, you make a surprise entry." " A surprise entry?" " Yes, when you feel like it." "But first, I'II go in alone." "model number 4:" "Giuditta." "I don't want to influence anyone." "Just observe it in silence and think it over." "You've been waiting for an hour, but now you can finally see it." "It's a sparkling model, intimate, melancholic and..." "How was it?" "Sincere and..." "But, most of all, it's a model suitable for jumping!" "An applause!" "And now..." "Come, Leo!" "You go, madam!" "Look at it." "I am proud of this model." "An applause!" "You there, come!"

" This nephew of yours..." "What's his name?" " Giuditta." "I forgot." "He can't stay here." "He must go home." "Trust me, it's easier said than done." " It's my fault." " Where is he now?"

"I wouldn't be here right now." "Damn!" "This too?" "I knew it!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "You like being there?" "You like being on the tracks?" "You are a neurotic and stubborn shoe!"

"allow me to introduce myself." "Professor CusateIIi Germaniis." "You say we should walk, but where is the Grand hotel?" " A few steps away." " Too much for someone with a heavy bag and just one shoe." "If it's only that, I'II help you." "I'II take your bag." "Ok, professor, Iet's walk." "Professor, this was a bad idea." " We could ask that young man for help." " Never!" "In that case, you wait here, I'II look for a taxi." "You!" "You pretended you didn't see me or hear me back there." "For once in your life, be a gentleman!" "He doesn't show signs of Iife." "Ah!" "What are you doing?" "Are you crazy?" "Put me down!" "Professor, help!" "He's gone mad!" "Put me down!" "Have some manners!" "As far as I can see, we solved the problem." "It's not very far." "You look like a person with a job that starts with a "p"." "Painter... plumber..." "Oh!" "Stop." "Professor, could you pick it up?" "Thanks." "We were saying..." "Porter!" "No, not that one." "planter!" "I should've thought of it earlier." "No, where are you going?" "Turn right!"

"It's a woman..." "It's the most beautiful race I ever saw." "What race is that?" "She's a woman." "I think it's obvious." "I don't know her." "I only met her at the station." "But from what I've seen, it's a race without underpants!" " She's completely naked under her skirt!" " I don't understand a thing!" "But I had fun carrying her!" "I liked it very much!" "I Iike her." "She has that thing..." "my body..." "I feel that..." "You are overexcited, youngster." "It's "Iove at first sight"." "I felt that  when I was, more or less, 15 years old." "I still don't understand a thing." "I feel the urge to..." "Professor, maybe you are an expert in these things." "I feel like... this woman is pulling me... as if I were attracted..." "I must do something, or I'II burst." "I feel the urge to..." " How... what... how do you..." " I get it!" "You are very eloquent." " Too eloquent, but I don't know what should I do!" " SchiIIer said:" ""Some people know everything;" "and that's all they know. "" "If Maurizio was here, maybe he would know." "It never happened with him." "I don't know what to do?" "What should I do?" "What should you do?" "When the girl comes down  approach her and  tell her: "shall we go for a walk. "" "She'II probably say no, and you will say: "Why not?"" ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. " "Why not?"" "Because the girl has a point." "You can't trust young men." "How can you pretend to take a girl for a walk, and make love to her the same night." "It's an ephemeral passion that can't last." "You decide to get married straight away." "She says: "Fine, Iet's get married. "" "Then he says: "Ok, we'II get married, but I want my freedom. "" ""You want your freedom and I want mine!" "We'II be together, but we'II do as we're pleased." "But don't you smoke in the bedroom!"" "Then you'II get to a divorce, and who suffers in the end?" "The children!" "Thank you, professor." ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. " "Why not?"" ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. " "Why not?"" ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. " "Why not?"" ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. " "Why not?"" ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. "" "Everything was right." "See you tonight." " Just a bit slower." " Ok, bye." ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. " "Why not?"" ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. " "Why not?"" ""shall we go for a walk?" "No. " "Why n... "" " shall we go for a walk?" " No." " Why not?" " Because you have a point!" "Young generations want to go for a walk and make love the same night." "And smoke in the bedroom!" "I want my freedom too!" "Let's get a divorce!" "This is an ephemeral bedroom." "It can't last." "Who suffers in the end?" "SchiIIer!" "Bravissimo!" "shall we go for a walk?" "I say yes." "But I don't think I can walk much with these shoes!" "I asked for a 38. 5." " A kiss on the lips!" " On the lips?" "Yes." "I'm through with men." "definitely." "I was neglecting him a bit, because of gambling." "But he went with another, without telling me!" "He could've at Ieast told me!" "He kissed her on the lips, in front of me." "That's too much!" "well done!" "But I don't understand a thing." "Why all the fuss for a kiss on the lips?" "Why?" "How can you not understand?" " Wait here, I'II show you." " Nina!" " Stay." " darling, is that you!" "I can't believe it!" " What?" "carlo!" "carlo!" "Sorry, I didn't see her." " She slapped him, Iet's go." " I don't understand, but I Iike it." " Do you understand what happens?" " It's enough to kiss somebody," " and all this mess happens?" " Same here." "I slapped him too." " And I never wanted to see him again." " It's a beautiful game!" "Who invented it?" "Did you invent it?" "well done!" "Nina!" "Over there!" " Where?" " Those two!" "shall we?" " What?" "Wait." "I'II do it, it's my turn." "No!" "Look who's here!" "It's you, my love!" "I called you at Ieast a thousand times!" "finally!" "Sorry, I didn't see her." " You kissed the man!" " You too!" "I Iike this game." "I didn't read about side effects." "My cousin was very sick." "He had a pleurisy. "Do not administer to asthmatics. "; the instructions said." "I got scared." "He started breathing like this..." "I'm hot!" "The pIeurisy went away but he wasn't able to speak anymore." "Because of the asthma attack." "Yes, just like that." "Now, instead of talking, he whistles." "The casino should open now." "Let's go." "I don't like yellow, 2:15pm, aubergines..." "I Iike hot chocolate, people called Giorgio, number 4, strong wind, candy and celery." "What do you Iike?" "Ah, I also like singing loudly!" "What do you Iike?" "I Iike..." "Now, more than ever..." "The..." "I don't even know how's it called." "I'm embarassed." "It's the first time this happened to me." " tell me what it is." " I can tell you?" "I Iike..." "I Iike it very much." "I've never seen it before." "I only saw a glimpse." "You have it in a strange place." "Who gave it to you, Nina?" "Where can you find it?" "could I have a better look?" "Why don't you put it some place easier?" " If I had a thing like that..." " The casino is opening, I must go." "Don't interrupt me, Iet me finish." "I want to tell you everything." "That thing..." "I feel attracted to you." "I want to hug you." "That thing is the most..." "If only I had it..." "I thought I was the most beautiful thing that nature could produce, then I saw that thing and..." "I'm lacking everything." "Without that thing..." "Why don't you borrow it to me?" "people don't know about that thing." "You should..." "Nina, that thing is really..." "How can I say..." "I had a friend called Maurizio, but he didn't have that thing of yours." "I didn't take a close look, but I am sure he didn't have one." "I never saw a thing like that." "If I see him again, I'II ask him, because..." "I feel the urge to..." "Nina..." " Card." " Nine!" "I knew!" "I felt it!" " What happened?" " He fainted." "I'm so sorry." "well?" "If nobody's playing, I'II switch tables." " Hi!" " You lost it, I found it." "Why not?" "Let's play for this coffee." "I was speaking..." "I am..." " One for you, one for me..." " well..." " Card." " Nine." " Nine." " Nine?" "A coffee became a cappuccino." "Let's play for that too." "One for you, one for me..." " Card." " Card." " Nine." "Bravo!" "You're really good at this." " Are you leaving everything there?" " Yes." " I am so scared!" "One for you, one for me..." " Card." " Nine!" " Nine." " Eight!" " Eight?" "What should I say?" " Nine." " Nine!" " Eight!" " Nine!" " Card." " Nine!" " Card." " Nine!" " Card." " Nine!" "Nine..." "Someone in here is bringing me bad luck." " Card." " Nine!" " would you Iike to play again, madam?" " Can't you see that "madam" is broke?" "For you, sir." "Nina, I would Iike to bet everything against..." "May I, miss?" " Not everything is lost." " How's that?" " I'm sorry for the intrusion, but..." "Professor CusateIIi, we met at the train station..." "Maybe you'II find this unusual, but I think I understand that this nice and lucky young man would bet all he has won against  one night with you." " What?" "Did I hear you well?" "You are a pig!" "As a matter of fact, you're both pigs." "And I should bet myself, my body... for these..." " How much is it?" " 112 millions." "You want me to spend a night with him for these stupid 112 millions?" " It's the most vulgar thing..." " What's your decision, madam?" "What a silly question!" "I Accept!" "What game is this?" " Chemin de fer." " How do you win?" " The one who is closer to 9 wins." " You need to say "nine"?" " Card." " Nine!" "Don't you laugh!" "I knew you would bring me bad luck, since the day we met!" "You crow!" "Thanks." "Come here." "I always pay my debts." "well done." "Best of luck." " Sir, the chips!" " Nine!" "That CorateIIi is your partner, right?" "He's not a reporter, he's a "pigorter"!" "This was not a casino, but a brothel." "112 millions for one night!" "224 for two nights." "In one month..." "You will have to force me to spend the night in bed with you." " But I..." " Don't try to convice me!" " No..." " I won't go to bed with you." " Bed?" "I don't want to spend the night in bed!" "You bet 112 millions to sleep with me." "Be honest, you can't wait to take off your clothes." "Get undressed?" "Naked?" "Why?" "What would I do, naked, in bed with you?" " You don't want to go to bed with me?" " No." " No?" " No!" "What do you mean no?" "I'm the one that says no, not you!" "You'II go to bed with me now, Iike it or not." " Is there something wrong with me?" " Nothing!" "I Iike you, but..." "Why would we sleep naked in bed?" "I would Iike..." "Not the..." "I don't understand a thing, but I would..." "Keep your hands to yourself!" "I knew you wanted to go to bed with me." "Again?" "Nina, be reasonable!" "I have the entire night at my disposal, and you think I would waste it naked in bed with you?" "I don't understand." "Do you want to go to bed with me or not?" "I do not want to spend the night in bed with you." "That means that we're even." "You rude Iout!" " Nina!" " Leave me alone, I never want to see you again." "Nina, but where..." "What..." " Who is it?" " It's me, gloria." "I Ieft the driving license on the table next to the fruit." " You made a mistake." " You think so too?" "But where..." "Maybe she was sleepy." "I should've pretended to be sleepy too?" "What do you think?" "hello?" "First he talks, then he disappears." "I don't get it." "The devil himself!" "Patrizia, I assure you it was a devastating experience." "That's enough, Maurizio." "I want to go home." "You can't seize a person like this, for eight hours, and repeat the same things over and over again." "Just let me finish and everything will be clear." "Then, you can take the bus." "Ok?" "I can't bare looking at you, Maurizio." " Your face is upset!" " Ok, I'II turn around, but please listen to me." "I wanted to tell you something that is on the tip of my tongue." "It's very romantic." "Don't move, I must concentrate." "It lasted a Iong time, but now I made my decision" "Isn't it funny that it all happened at a bus stop?" "But the time has come." "Now everything is clear in my mind." "Patrizia," "You see, Patrizia, you've always been a big temptation for me, Iike the devil." "And Giuditta, the devil, is the temptation in the flesh." "I Ioved him and now I miss him." "I thought that this Giuditta and you, Patrizia, were the same person." "You understand what I'm trying to..." "Don't say a word, Patrizia." "I realize that it's getting late." "I'II go away." "You stay here and wait for the bus." "It should be here soon." "Stay there." "Maurizio!" "Maurizio!" "It's me, Giuditta!" " Maurizio!" " I know." "Maurizio!" "I don't feel very well and I must talk to you." "Why are you running away?" "Because you scared me to death!" "I scared you?" "You scared me!" "I was sitting on the bench, having a private chat and, all of a sudden, this foul creature jumps out..." " What is it, Giuditta?" " The music." "Hey, Giuditta!" "Giuditta." "Giuditta." "I'm sorry I called you "foul creature"." "It was a slip of the tongue." "Don't be so touchy." "people have fun of me too." "They say that my nose is too big, my eyes too small and my hair too dark." "I don't get mad." "Just laugh about it!" "You have no reason to be offended." "I spoke too much!" "How did you appear so suddenly back at the bus stop?" "I was talking to Patrizia and, suddenly, you were at her place!" "I didn't see her taking the bus, nor the bus itself." "I must've been in trance" "Giuditta." "Are you listening to me?" "What's gotten into you?" "What are you looking at?" " Maurizio?" " Yes?" " Do you see that girl?" "Yes, she's very pretty." "What about it?" "She absolutely wants to spend a night naked in bed with me." "That girl wants to spend a night naked in bed with you?" " Good evening." "would you spend a night in bed with me?" " Naked?" " Naked." " only an idiot could refuse such a proposal." " Can you dance tango?" " No, but I'm a quick learner." "Excuse me, Giuditta." "This is only the second time I've danced in my entire life." " When was the first time?" " I can't remember." " He makes me so angry." "It became a matter of principle." "I have to spend the night with him." " Who?" " Your friend!" " Him?" " Yes, I Iike him very much." " Then it is true!" " Of course." "There's something about him" " that attracts me." "He's special." " He's not just any other person!" " Can I give you an advice?" "Find someone else." " Who?" "You, for example?" " Are you trying to tell me that?" " absolutely not!" "But, I can assure you, you would be better off." "What are you saying?" "Listen..." "I'm his best friend and I would never spend a night with him." "The more you speak the more I feel like it!" "Listen!" "would you go to bed with an animal?" "What are you trying to tell me?" "What am I trying to say?" "Let's put it like this..." "He's more than an animal." "He's the whole herd!" "Got it?" "It's for your own sake." "Take my advice!" "If you can't keep hold of yourself, find anybody else that isn't him or me!" " Got it?" " I had some doubts, but you removed them!" " Where are you going?" " To the herd!" "Hi." "How are you?" "Fine, but..." "I feel weird." "should we sleep together?" "What should we do?" "Come, don't worry." "Just take off your clothes and I'II take care of the rest." "Giuditta!" "He was so stupid that I almost lost all hope!" "You're wrong." "There's something I Iike about him." " Don't tell me you've fallen in love?" " Don't be silly!" "I enjoyed my stay here, but there's one thing I don't understand." "How can they wear those stupid shoes?" "They're so uncomfortable!" "You said it." "I can't sleep because of them." " Are you sure he knows what to do?" " Yes." "I told him to get undressed and wait for me." "I feel he's ready." "Goodbye and thanks for working so well with me." "My pleasure." "Giuditta!" "What are you doing?" "You're leaving without even saying goodbye?" "I've been waiting for you all night long." "Come here and tell me how it went." " How did it go?" " Oh, Maurizio!" "I must tell you it was extraordinary!" "She took me... we got one over..." "She's very refined!" " Very refined?" " Yes." " How come you're in such a hurry?" " Yes, Maurizio." "I wanted to say goodbye to you, because I must leave right away." "I've just rembered about some deadlines..." "My family, my business..." "I have things to do over there." "I came to say goodbye quickly, because I have to go and see my dad, my mom..." "If they send someone to get me, I'II make a fool out of myself." "I think they already sent somebody." "Look here." "It's a photo of me dancing with that girl, but she doesn't show." "She's a dangerous woman!" "She's a foul creature!" "No offense meant." " What?" "Are you talking about me?" " What?" "I was talking about that girl..." "Nina." "please!" "Yes, I know." "She's beautiful, isn't she?" " Not at all!" "I told you that she's a foul crature." " Maurizio..." "Sorry, Giuditta." "I promised not to speak, but I won't take that from someone who holds his soul between his teeth." "Giuditta, what's happening?" "Whose voice is that?" "It's mine!" "I made fun..." "I have this voice in the morning, when the air is fresh." "It's not so fresh." "I'm having these hot flushes!" "I'm a foul creature?" "I get it." "Nina, please, I asked you to let me say goodbye to Maurizio in peace." "Maurizio." "Don't make me do this with my jacket." " Make me stop." " No!" "I'm hot and I'II do it as long as I Iike." "I don't like this friend of yours very much." "Maurizio, sorry..." "When I stop doing this..." "Make me stop, just for a second!" "She has a bad temper." "But she's beautiful." "She came to get me." "She'II take me back, because she's afraid I might run away again" "I Iike her very much!" "Last night she did such things to me..." "She has a thing... how could I..." "I should show it to you." "Nina, could we show..." "Don't be stupid!" "Show him what?" "How can I describe..." "She has this thing with..." "You'II never understand, Maurizio." "They sent her to get me." " Bye." " You have the most beatiful means of transport I've ever seen!" " Bye." " Bye." " Bye."
