"One day 6 rebels come into our yard and said: "We want to bring a child like you, we like you"" "I heard a gunshot and saw my father on the ground, on the dust and he did not get up again." "The first time I killed a person, the officer told me:" "..."You have to kill that one, and I shot him in the chest." "After that, I leaded 10 boys, 10 to 16 years old." "Sorry." " They're already out?" " But, lady..." "Eh..." " How much?" " It's 10, lady." "Now." " Here." " Thanks." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." "When will you learn that the oil must be controlled?" "However, now I must go, I'm late." "Don' worry about the car, I'll call Gianni so he takes care." "Fuck the car, the oil and everything else!" "I'm worried about Mario." "I want to know where he is." "Do not worry." "He might have met a friend." "You know how he is, occasionally he needs to take a trip around." "He's hurt, because I haven't kept my promise." "We'll give him two phones:" "One for you and one for him so communication will be easier for everyone." "See you at the party." "Asshole!" "Hey, beautiful one!" "Hello!" "What is your name?" "Do you like Mimmo?" "Hey?" "Do you like Mimmo?" "Oh well, Mimmo, come!" "You know who I am?" "Shad-Sky." "Not true..." "Have you thought, uh?" "Come, Mimmo!" " Where are you?" " In a bar on street..." "What is the address here?" "They have to come to take me on." "Via Ulisse Proto Giurleo 77, Bar Blue." "Bar Blue." "Via Ulisse Proto Giurleo 77." "Can you tell her?" "Mario!" "Hello..." "But are not you dead?" "!" "Do I look dead?" "Huh?" "Mimmo!" "And let me alone!" "Mimmo!" "Mimmo!" "Who is Mimmo?" "My dog!" "Mimmo!" "Stolen 600 tons of mussels for a value..." "Up!" "Blow!" "It is Moby Dick!" "She has devoured my soul!" "Have you seen her?" "Where is Moby Dick?" "You tell me!" "Where is Moby Dick?" "Do not you see that we begin to resemble a little?" " But it is great!" " Don't you know that many people there says so?" "Watch!" "But this trip to Ponticelli..." "Talk to Cutolo." "You know, psychology helps in these cases..." "Mario always fells so fine with her, right?" "Yes, yes." "Makes me rage!" "She sees him once a month, takes him high, and gets a face like this out of him!" "Make this ship sale, sailor!" "Blow!" "Blow on the sails!" " Come on, blow!" "Turn off them all!" " The whale is near!" "Blow!" "Give up the anchor!" "A nice gust of wind!" "Up!" "Boy, do not be sentimental!" "Hurts your teeth!"

"We must think of our school." "How is our school done?" "If the seat is comfortable, if we like the view from the window if our teacher explains it well!" "Everything we desire and how we want to change it if we wish." "Mario!" "Put away that object, please and pay attention, like the others?" "Open the notebook and write, please." ""Theme." "I would like to change my school."" "Why should I change the school?" "I like it so!" "If you do not want change it, write it down on the theme, as do others."

"Not a mechanic one, but it is also better." "You can hang it here." "Beautiful!" "Thank you!" "It's beautiful!" "And you don't give anything to Sandro?" " Do you want to ride Mimmo?" " Who is Mimmo?" "My dog, I told you!" "We can take him home we have a lot of space!" "And then, when the thieves come, he barks." "It's like a burglar alarm." "A burglar alarm, eh?" "Yesterday I dream of it." "Now I'll show you." "And let me see..." "Sorry!" "We are looking for a little dog." "Can you help us?" " And how is this dog?" " Black and White." " What size?" " Like that." "It's Virus." "They have laid him under the truck!" " No!" "I saw him in with..." " How much will you give us if we find it?" "And how much do you want?" " 50." " 50." "But we'll give it after we've found it." "Caccavella and I'll come with you, or else you won't find him." " Where is your car?" " I parked nearby." "Go get it, we wait here." " Come on." " I wait here." "What?" "I also wait here." "Okay." "Thank you, you are true gentlemen." "She's good, however, mom!" "She's not my mother!" "I do not know her, she's not mine." " There he is!" " Look!" "Do not worry, we'll caught him." "Caccave, come!" "Come here, Virus!" "Come here!" " Boy, keep Virus!" " Mimmo!" "Towards the end of '56 his research on color is fixed on the blue on a particular ultramarine which will then be called "Yves Klein Bleu"..." "That's Yves Klein blue which is a luminosity that seems to emanate from the depths of the abyss." "This blue, this blue, as Restani writes... represents for him... revelation support for insights not enclosed in formulas the vehicle of great emotions." "Giulia, you go away already?" "Do not you stay with us a second?" " Hello, Giulia." " Today I can not." " There's your invitation." "Did you get it?" " Yes." "When?" " Next week." " Ok." " Good morning." " You're in a hurry?" "Luca!" " I wanted to ask you something." "Can I?" " Sure, come with me." "How are the exams?" "Mimmo can not eat with us at the table?" "Do not know." "I imagine that a dog would be embarrassed sitting at the table with us..." "You know, if you look at a dog, does he teach you to do a lot of things?" "However, if you respect a dog... you don't force him to follow our rules, no?" "Maybe it can happen in cartoons you watch there it can happen." " So, make believe we're in a cartoon." "But do you think Giulia and I, at to our age will do Mickey Mouse?" "Now, go to eat." "Mario!" "Mario!" "Leave him alone." "You know who I am?" "I do not know." "And you don't know it, neither." "Maybe you're thinking I want to be your master." "Instead, it is not so." "I want you only as a D-boy." "...lasted until..." "Look!" "I too have a 310!" " Where have you stolen it?" " Pierluigi!" "Please!" "Mario, put away immediately that phone!" "You'll show it to him later!" "Mario, we're all happy you have it too but you have to put it away because this is not the occasion!" " And open the book to page 127!" " Hello?" "I want to talk with the firemen!" "I've put the school on fire!" "With gasoline." "Flames are everywhere!" "Come and save me!" "But not the teacher nor Pierluigi it's better if they burn out." "Mario!" "Leave me alone!" "Help!" "Help!" "He splitted him a lip, 7 points and a tooth that dances." "I am sorry for what happened to Pierluigi, very sorry." " Only that Mario, if one speaks to him..." " If I talk to him?" "!" "When I try to correct him, to make him understand that he has to be careful that he should not disturb you know what he answers?" " That he's only 5 years old." " May I talk to his guardian?" "Once a boy escaped from the rebels but I chased him, I took him again... bound him hand and foot... with the wire and they told me to kill him with a stick." "I felt bad because he was one from my village I did not want to kill him." "But they I aimed a gun near the head." "Then I begin to hit him with all my power." "He told me: "Why are you doing this?" "Why?"." "After I kill him I dip in his blood so I had no more fear death." "...mind you, not for evil neglected because you were left alone." "Although you are a grandmother then it is assumed that you have children, but perhaps not living with you." "Yes, one, the male." " The male lives far away?" " In my house you are always welcome!" "Like the angel!" "The court has taken away 3 children from me and luckily, at least one you catched!" " This is a girl, you know?" " Yes?" "But how are you?" "What a nice surprise, what a thrill you gave me!" "What a pity that grandmother isn't here!" "She's getting her belly healed." "But sit and let's wait her!" "Sit!" " Do you want to stay and eat here?" " Nunzia, don't worry." "Mario!" "But you do not even greet me?" "How handsome you've got!" "Come here give me a kiss!" "Huh?" "But do you remember when you were here, I gave you crips every day?" "And how you eat them, right?" " Wait!" " Nunzia, sit down!" " I have not even offered Coca-Cola." " Do not worry!" "Eat, there are a lot!" "When I buy I do take 3-4 cartons of Salvatore of Super-G." "Did you see I'm waiting another child?" "And you, who do you wait for?" "Hello?" "Are you happy that we met Nunzia?" "Why do not you put on lipstick?" "You're beautiful, Mom." "But it is as if you have no salt." " Who?" "Mimmo?" " Eh." "Mimmo?" "When you come to my house I'll show you." " But you do not come ever..." " If you and Giulia invited me, I'll come running." "But Sandro must agree." "Why, he commanded at home?" "No!" " Sandro doesn't commnad." " But he is so cute with you." " Do not you get along with him?" " Yes, we get along well." "Sometimes we play on penalties." "I do some goal shooting, penalties..." "But I am a goalkeeper from another planet and then he gets pissed and do not look at me again in the face." "Neither I watch him more in the face." " And at school?" "How is school?" " They say I'm no good at school." "But if one is not good, what must you do?" "You must kill him?" "And then Giulia agrees with them." "She says that I must be good." "But what good is it to be good?" "It is better to be bad, because they respect you when you're bad." "Giulia?" " Have you always named her so?" " Oh, Giulia." "But you never call her mom?" "Yes, sometimes, but she's not mine." "And why you don't do well at school?" "I'm doing well at school, I am not bad." "But just they do not let me took photos do not let me open the windows, don't let me go to the bathroom do not let me get up and do not let me bring Mimmo to school." " And would you take him to school?" " What's wrong?" "He can read, distinguish colors." "If it was not for Mimmo, I would not be here." "Do you wonder where I'll be?" "I stood alone." " But why are you laughing?" " You have here the camera?" " And would you take me a good portrait?" " Mh-mh." "Beautiful!" "But in the photograph there comes no smell." "So what were you told about the shrink?" "Don't you want to talk first to Giulia, eh?" "Okay, I understand." "It's right." "But what's in here?" "They are my shirts." "I took them at the laundry." " But does your house have one?" " What do you mean?" "The home of my parents?" "You can also came." "So why do not you go there and also take your shirts?" " Hello." " Hello." "Hello." "How glad to see you!" "Hey, you do not give me a kiss?" "So?" "How did you go with Adriana?" "What?" "Were you hiding something?" "Thanks for the lift." "Sandro doesn't want me, nor Mimmo." "It's not true, Mario!" "Do not you even think it." "Even Mimmo knows it!" "So, if you're so good and nice, why do not you help him?" "Why do you not answer to Sandro when he asks you questions?" "Because he talks like the television." "You know why Sandro makes you each question?" "That woman, Cutolo is one of the people that must decide whether you stay with us." "But you..." "Is it true or not?" "With her you do talk, talk, talk." "And with Sandro you don't even get out a breath." "Even with me you don't talk much." "The fact is that in this season the garden is full of blackbirds." "Do you hear them whistling?" "Mh?" "But Mimmo won't kill them." "Right, Mom?" "True." "Mario and Mimmo are the most..." "peaceful, tender, loving couple of friends imaginable." " Can I go to see the birds?" " Sure, go." "He's crazy about this little dog." "He wanted to take him to school." "To convince him:" "..."The school is an institution, bla-bla-bla." "Also for him to not bring it here I had to tell him of the wales..." " ..." "That I'm ashamed." " You're ashamed?" "!" "Mommy, Mario is only 9 years old." "Make him understand that despite the grandmother's house is large and has a garden his little dog is not allowed to come, embarrass me, gives me discomfort." "This lipstick fits you well." "Bravo!" "Finally!" "You were always beautiful." "But the beauty we must know how to exploit it, my daughter." " I know, you have repeated it for years." " How are you getting along with Sandro?" " Beautiful lady, won't you buy 4 roses for 1 euro?" " Yes" "There." "Thank you." "Lady, can you ride me to my home?" "Please." "I will give you luck and love." "Please, I can not stay here." "It's dangerous for me." "What do you say, do we ride her?" "Come on!" " What's your name?" " Astra, and yours?" "I am Mario." "How old are you?" " Will you show me the way?" " Straight ahead." " Okay." "But where do you live?" " I want a red mouth too!" " Eh?" " I want a red mouth too!" " Lipstick!" " Do you want the lipstick?" "I'm sorry, I do not have it, baby." "I left it home." " So, kiss my mouth." " What are you saying?" " You want a kiss?" " Yes, in the mouth." " The lipstick will stick." " What do you say?" "Must I do it?" "Let's kiss, go on!" "Look!" "Look!" "Can you see?" "I hear laughter." "But where are you?" "Whom are you?" "Nothing, I just wanted to say:" "When I come back I do not know, maybe I'm going to stay a bit on my own for a few days." "Yes" "Hello?" "Of course..." "Hello?" "Hello, pretty lady." "Can I take a photograph of you, Astra?" "Astra!" "It's always nice this house, there's nothing to do with it." "How well one fells here!" "How beautifull is the air!" "Ah" " Did you see that sunshine?" " Uhe, Mario!" "Would you come and give me a kiss?" " Mario, did you see who's there?" " Come" "Ok, I'll give it later!" "Have you seen how your child treats me?" "Oh well, listen, I'll tell you right now because you came don't want to waste your time." "Here in a moment Milly leaves." " Do you like the name?" " Yes" "Guido is addicted to Carlucci." "Really wanted her to be the godmother." "But she has sent word that this time she's on duty." "But we must do the party and I thought to get you to be the baptism godmother." "But you pissed off?" "You only saw that one there, uh?" "You know who that one is?" "She's the mother I got before coming here." "She made me eat only Chipster and Coca-Cola and made me sleep forever on the balcony because she had to sleep with other men." "But you were born in Ponticelli?" "Do you know your father?" "Maybe mine was a Shad-Sky." "Ok, but now I am happy because I knew Astra." " Good morning, children." " All:" "Good morning." "Oh, there you are!" "Children, I introduce you a new pupil." " Do you want to say what's your name?" " Paesano Luciano." "Luciano has been moved here from Virgilio II di Ercolano because now he lives in Apuleius street, with his grandfather, here at Posillipo." "Thus, at least for this year he will attend with us the lessons." "Now go and choose a place." "No, here's Dafne today she's not coming." "Look!" "Next to Mario there's a place." "Children, open the book on page 176 today we will talk on how agriculture was born." "I'll read it and then we'll talk together." "#I am in prison for stealing a mobile phone.#" "#I am in jail because life is bitter.#" "#Valeria you're the most beautiful of the beautiful ones...# #...and I am Tonino, the bulliest guy from Forcella. #" "# If that evening you didn't rang...# #..."Hurry, Tonino, come home"...# #..." "I were still if you don't answer...# #..." "I'll freely fall to the railroad. #" "#I am in prison for stealing a mobile phone.#" "#I am in prison...#" "What a nice party, eh?" "Are you enjoying yourself?" "But you do not eat anything?" "Do not you drink anything?" "Make me happy, don't make me angry." "What will you get?" "A tiramisu?" "How do you want it?" "Batida and melon or chocolate and rum?" "Do not you see I'm talking with the lady?" "Wait!" "It's not the time yet." "Lady, can't you wait?" "Ok, I understood..." "Honey, I'm sorry, otherwise he'll take me to greet them by the neck!" "#Tender shocking evening. #" "# I don't call you and I don't fuck anything. # ...how beautiful!" "Come here!" "Here!" "Come here!" "But what happens?" "You're already drunk?" "Sit down!" "I told you to sit, drunk one!" "No..." "See how beautiful she is!" "She looks like an actress as is godmother." "All of that coaxing and lights haven't do anything to her." "Can I invite you to dance this song?" "Certainly." " Do you like this song?" " Yes" "It's named... "So available tonight."" "And above all my attention, dear Giulia." "Last meeting Mario would show as Cutolo has well reported a certain uneasiness." "Then, we know that Mario, as all children, is both imaginative and a little liar." "Mario is doing well." "Indeed, I think he is finding a balance." "He now has a real home..." " ..." "Someone who loves him..." " Didn't you ever seen in Mario do not know how to express myself, certain instinct to reject what you and Sandro represent?" "But, doctor, what do you want me and Sandro to represent?" " Do not know what you mean." " Do not make the naive." "Doctor, I am not Alice in Wonderland." "When Mario was moved to us we thought that, yes this change might get some small problem adaptation, even if not like Mario has benn moved to another planet." "We do our best not to make disappear from Mario's life net all that he was accustomed." "Indeed, at this point I think that perhaps the birth mother it's not right that she would disappears completely from his life." "This last statement let's say that I have not heard." "Indeed, I urge you to be careful on this sensitive issue." "Mario was taken away by the violence he had suffered, you know?" " I'm at my grandfather's because my father is in prison at Poggioreale." "But you piss into bathroom for females!" "Ah, but with this one!" "Want a photo?" "Take it!" "Take it!" " But, do you come to Florence?" " Oh, yes, don't I come into Florence?" "!" " Hello." " Hello." " You're beautiful." " Thanks, you're gentle." "How are you?" "Not bad." "But how crossed your mind to invite me to the restaurant?" "Huh?" "I wanted not to compel you." "If you like we can get a coffee, dessert." "We get up and leave." "Mh?" "No." "You're fine." "That lipstick then..." "It was an idea from Mario." "This morning, we accompanied him, me, Cecilia, and of course, Mimmo." "Now he'is in Florence." "He called, everything's fine." " Good evening." " Good evening." "I would like the fish soup with croutons." "Me too." " To drink...a catalanesca?" "Okay?" " Yes Yes." "Well." "Yes." "Wonderful." "If this is a miracle, You must tell me what it is due:" " ..." "If the presence of that child..." " The child has a name." "or the fact that it is a bit that we do not meet or both things, You tell me." "I do not know, some other reason." "Maybe you're in love..." "Why are you apart?" "I'd be sitting appart?" "Giulia, if I don't risk to talk to you I woludn't find you." "You insist on not using the phone." "I do not understand, it is always off." "Now that you have it, use it, no?" "This appointment was not a chore?" "I called twelve thousand times." "But what must I think?" "Must I think that tonight I met you because you are free at last?" "I have to think about this?" "I'll make the question, then." "Am I still into your life or you made me out?" "Are you crazy?" "But how can you not understand?" "The two of us, me and Mario, We need you for your support. me especially!" "The fact that you're gone complicates everything!" "Even in your own life!" "Do not tell me that with your mother you had a great time." "Sandro the presence of Mario, a child of 9 years, your stepchild can has not resulted in no change in you?" "But how is it possible?" "I think that for you now there is nothing else in the world but him." "It's complicated to have a child, right?" "It's hot." "I feel dizzy, damn." "Can you bring a little water?" "Can you bring a mineral?" "Just a few minutes we are together and..." "Here I am, I all the usual dumb, Surface..." "Please do not talk about it!" "And you are the most complicated, idealistic, woman I know." "...with the neurosis one can only eat at home..." " ..." "But I love you." " I can not stay." "Excuse me." "I'll walk." "Tonight I'll sleep at home." "You can not, Sandro." "I can not." "Sorry." " Good evening." " Good evening." " My God!" " Do not you fear!" " I've put a little..." "Huh?" " Good evening, Guido." "Don't fear, it's that with this darkness, dark glasses..." "Yes, ma'am." "One does not know Who loves you and who wants you bad." "The world is bad dear lady Giulia." "I must speak." "Something happens?" "Is Nunzia ok?" "And the girl?" "No, it's all right." "I must mention another fact." " Can I get in?" " At this hour..." "It's a bit late..." "I had a day, Guido..." "So important?" "If it was not important, would I wait two hours under your palace?" "But what is it for?" " Where do you have whiskey?" " I'm sorry, I don't have liquor in the house." "But you do not hold anything, even not wine?" "Listen, I make you go out because you said you had something important to say." "I'm listening." "So you do not understand anything." "Do not you understand?" "I am crazy for you." "Hello, Sandro?" "From that night at the party I do not sleep anymore." "You can bring something, a Chivas, a cognac?" "Not for me." "We have visitors, Guido, Nunzia's mate." "Yes, he got here before me, he greets you." "Oh well, you're already comming up." "Then, We'll drink a coffee together." "Will you drink a nice coffee with us, no?" "These artists were asked to leave the normal channels of exposition, museums, galleries, etc and to settle here, then show in a place frequented not by a public that has chosen it, therefore concerned, alert but from random passers-by for the most hurried and distracted, and to deal with these." "But in a city like Naples to leave the house the institutional place and become homeless around benches, on angles, on squares or in a subway station, Non-places by definition this flight, this abandonment, we'll see if it's a runnaway it acquires a value which we now must be careful observers." "But I would like that as a laboratory everybody write something about this." "It's all for today." "Thank you." "But you're telling me the truth?" "No, I do not get angry." "I want to see him." "Will you bring him?" "So what happened?" "Mario returns." "Didn't know you combined!" "It's beautiful!" "It must be maddening." "Hear!" "We went visiting an English school and he seems to have photographed the kids, so saids the muzzle." "Only he did not photographed faces, the photographed the birds and pussy." "Do you realize?" "But think of the English professors, strict who are overwhelmed by an invasion of birds and sparrows!" "Mario is a genius!" " Will they return him?" " Mh." "Tomorrow." "He and another." "Well, me... in your boots... is not that..." "What does it mean "in my boots"?" "You are in my place, Sandro!" "This is our place," " Mine, yours and Mario!" " Yes.." "It's a beautiful thing!" "You should make a service to the news of this thing!" "But calm down." "We are happy, but..." " But what?" "Tell." " It's not funny." "I do not like it, any may be the reason, if my..." "If Mario returns home!" "But how many times I tried to put into that crazy head that you must remind that with a child like Mario one must go slow?" "A child born in Ponticelli, with all its path!" "But how?" "Why do you insist not to recognize his limits which then are also his virtues?" "Why do you want to impose on that child which already has many serious problems, serious even the exaltation of one thing that..." "Now, for a child of his age not really..." " And Mimmo, did not you take him?" " So, the photographs?" "I have erased them." "I don't even kept the prettiest 3." " I would have wanted to show them to you." " I would have liked!" "But now we go to the traffic light?" "I bought the lipstick to Astra." "Are you hungry?" "Mh?" "You must not do that!" " Why?" " Why, not!" "Whatever." "We eat in 10 minutes." "Younger children stay at the front." "To overcome fear, they make us drink milk mixed with gunpowder because they say that it gives you strength and makes you wish to kill all the troops that pass in front of you." "one day I meet my teacher." "He said, ..."The war is not child's game."" "We wrestled him to the ground and shoot him on the back." "The pages of the books, we used them as toilet paper." "My grandfather wants to know you." "I told him that you are a friend." "Luciano, how are you?" " Pietro, I introduce Mario." " Hi, Mario." " How old are you?" " 10." "Who are your parents?" "If you don't want to tell me, don't tell me." " Mrs. De Dominici." " You like the bird?" "If you like them, the next time you come I'll give you one." "What kind of bird is it?" "A linnet." "Watch him." "He's blind, do you see?" "But he wasn't born blind." "They blinded him so he sings well." "So, when he sings, he makes the sun arise." "Lorenzo!" "Mario!" "Pasquale!" "Luciano!" " Hello, Lucia!" " Down, boys!" "At your sits!" "The others must jump!" "Go to your place!" "Luciano, when your mom takes a shower, do you spy her?" "No, mom is ugly!" "Instead my mom is beautiful." "But it is even more beautiful under the shower because she takes away the clothes." " You know, I play the flute." " What song?" "Whatever you want." "But I rather want to play the piano." "But are you idiot?" "I'll make the deaf and you play flute especially when you find a good place." "You will earn lots of money." " Instead with a piano how do yo do?" " 85 cm!" "Come on, boys!" "Here there is always stuff in the middle because it is a construction site." "Slowly, ma'am." "Here it is." "There is a bit of dust but it is new." "Damn!" "I can not play." "I've got arthritis." "Bravo, Mario!" "Well done to you both!" "What a surprise when I saw it was you who played!" " Don't you introduce your friend?" " His name is Luciano." " Pleasure, Luciano." " Pleasure!" "What are you doing?" "Going home?" " 20 to me...20 to you..." " How much have you gained?" " 20 to thee...20 to me...20 to you..." " But don't you had to go to school?" "I've got my mom asked if I could go 'to sound' with Luciano..." " ..." "She said yes." " Is there a problem?" "No, boys, there's no problem." "You can do anything." "Only that when there is school, perhaps you should go to school." "No?" ""Klingmann"!" "Do you like it?" " But whom is it?" " It's yours!" "This is not an instrument for you." " But I do not know how to play." " Uh, but however...but, but..." "Now that you begin to study it, you'll see." " study?" "!" " Eh." "But this should be studied?" "There is nothing in your home that you shouldn't be studied?" "Mario!" "Yes?" "I'm Adriana Cutolo." "Do I bother you?" "Come on, Mario, no joke!" "Come!" "Come on, let's enjoy this gift!" "Mario, but are you listening?" "Mario: summer mom winter mom Mother of spring Monday mamma Tuesday mom Mom, today in Wednesday Sunday morning mom, Sunday evening mom Mom by day mum by night... mom...as it rains..." "Mom is a little late but I've prepared a meal!" "Oh, Are not you hungry?" "Let's go eating." "Stop." "Resume game after." "We'll eat something together, so once we can talk a bit." "Get up, everything's ready." "Oh, but you did not even answer?" "I want to eat when Mom come." "Well, when Mom..." "Mom is late." "We'll sacrifice till then?" "Do not know!" "Maybe..." "We can try..." "But I guess we'll get there destroyed..." "Ok, let's do this!" "We make a race of endurance." "Huh?" "Let's see who resists more!" "Have you seen the investigation of my colleague, Morelli, on the football?" "But what did you expect from me?" "What did you wanted me to do of Mario?" "A soldier, obedient, ready to be remotely controlled?" "No, Adriana I prefer the disobedience, independence of spirit and the rebellion when tolerance begins to resemble too much indifference." "Teach him not to waste anything." "In spite of someone who says that no child is innocent, he is!" "But I am careful not to show this as the truth." "That Mario is free to choose what is felt to choose." "You know how you call this?" "Respect." "You only want to educate people in your model but Mario does not want to be educated." "He wants to be accepted." "And I accepted him or at least I'm trying." "And there I'm bringing myself completely." "And Mario is putting himself too." "We are trying to do a small stretch of road together with love, with hope." "Now that I said it do whatever you want." "Just leave us alone, please." "Puppy..." "Mario!" "Sandro!" "Ah, there you are!" "So?" " I'm hunger." " But Sandro?" "Do not tell me he's gone!" "But why did you come late?" "Sandro told you that I would delay?" "Mh?" "And, anyway, since he had prepared something he why you have not eaten?" "What happened?" "Explain it to me!" "You say you're hungry and you haven't touched anything." "Neither you nor him!" "Why?" "Your tongue has dried?" "I wanted to eat with you." "I understand that you wanted to eat with me." "But what happened?" "You fought and he's gone?" "Mh?" "It would be better if... you dined together, if you stay a bit together spoke a little man to man?" "I've talked but I got no answer." "Mario!" "I spoke with Adriana Cutolo." "You hear me?" " You must not talk!" " Instead I speak, you listen to me and stop doing the little baby!" "If you wanted to go to play with Luciano, Why did not you say?" "You do not understand my things." "Sandro will make jumps for joy." "But I..." "We've already have a son." "This will be the second." " Giulia?" " Yes" " Do you want to go out?" " No, I'm down." "Sorry, I was sleeping." "My folks are in Procida..." "How are you?" "YOu ask like a stranger  or some acquaintance you meet by chance." "Do not know the answer." "I'm fine?" "I'm sick?" "Do not know." "I came to ask you..." "To hear what you have to say what you have to tell me!" "If you have to bring something..." "I do not know, it's like I was afraid." "I fear..." "It's just a kind of...do not know." "Perhaps...insecurity." "This sense of inadequacy, of being played with I..." "I was not accustomed." "I feel a bit confused, hurt angry, mostly with myself because of that child..." " The child is named Mario!" " The child is named Mario!" "Do not make me feel as if I treat him with disregard!" "And do not treat me like one that does not give importance to what he says at what he does, because it is not so!" "I am not so fool!" "I do not think I could understand him." "Oh, he destabilizes me!" "He makes me anxious!" "I feel that he'is against me it's like he's raising a wall." "But with diabolical skill!" "You do not realize it." "You know what I think sometimes?" "I think people like us you and me for example we have never risked anything." "In fact, what have we risked, until now?" "Our house?" "Our job?" "Our lives?" "What?" "Our love..." "I wonder if all the energy of Mario can resist this opacity that surrounds him." "I also lose courage at times." "How am I going to defend him?" "I buy organic apples, carrots..." "Does this suffice?" "Just an organic apple to protect him to save a part of his world?" "I have to protect him from everything even our sorrows!" "How will he manage to be happy?" "Sandro, you know that I have already some problem of balance to the ground..." "Imagine now, I'm trying to walk on this tightrope." "...photos of your growth." "Mh?" "Mario?" "But why has not Luciano even come to school today?" " He is sick." " No, Luciano is not ill." "They moved him this time into a school closer to his neighborhood." "Luciano was here temporarily, until his father would return." "Evidently he returned, and Luciano also had to return." " Now write the theme." " I can not write the theme." "Can we hear why?" "What makes you think it?" "Because I do not keep photos of anything." "He returned to his home." "Luciano was not fine in this neighborhood." "He's stranger in this neighborhood and he has no friends." " I have to stay here by force because they are afraid that they will attack against the United States." " But Luciano, where is he?" " At Resina." " He goes on to school?" " The school does not give you a living." "Puts you in line and does command you." "When you get grown-up you already passed throughout the better part of life." "They say: "Silence, silence."" "It's ugly silence." "Come, come!" " Nunzia!" " Hello, darling, everything is in its place." "Forgive me for the last time..." "I know... but I felt so bad I've been almost hospitalized." "Hello." "You owe me a favor, for the good you want to your mum." "Tell me." "You know, if I can help..." "YOu must find me a place, because you are my sister." "Nunzia, you're not well." "But where are you coming from?" "And everything is in its place." "There are no problems." "Madonna mia, this bitch here..." "Do you see her?" "If it did not have her, every time I need I have one to whom to ask." "When they close all the doors in my face, there is only this one." "And go!" "Go, when I'm with Giulia you can go away, everybody." "Listen, darling, the truth is that I came..." " Do you understand why I came?" " No." "But tell me, what is it?" " Mario, where are you?" " In school." "School?" "What a beauty, you have him at school, not like we that destroy and drain him." "Do you keep a cigarette?" "Nunzia, do you want to smoke in this state?" "Come on!" " What state?" "I'm ok." "I just smoked." " Oh!" "You know that if they saw us, those of the court they would make a mess of problems?" " Why?" "Because you're the mother of Mario, that's why." "What are you saying?" "Mario's mom is you." "Understand?" "A place like that at the Philippines don't to say to your house." "But for example at your mother's home, she is alone, right?" "Nunzia, I can try to tell her but I don't promise it will go well because my mother has a hard head." " She likes to be alone." " Ok, So what?" "Well depends who you get home." "Mimmo!" "Come, Mimmo!" "Mimmo!" "Nooo!" "Mimmo!" "Mimmo!" "When I hold the heavy machine gun nobody has the courage to get to me." "Sometimes we take those of the militia and cut their arms or some feet or some leg and put them on display off the streets." "I saw the open belly of a pregnant woman... to see... if it was male or female." "Now the only thing I do, If I think on the future, is going ahead." "Mario..." "Hello." "You know what we'll do today?" "We're going to find Luciano." "Okay?" "But Mimmo was a dog or a child?" "Hmm..." "Your opinion?" "Mh?" "You want to be mom but you have to learn yet a lot of things." "What should I learn?" "But I as a child I'm going well for you?" "Sorry." "We are looking for a boy named Luciano Paesano." " Hi, Lucia!" " Hi, Mario!" " But where do you came from?" "From inside a Kinder egg?" "But who gave you my address?" "The police station!" "Luciano!" "Luciano!" "Do you come or not?" "What do you come here for?" "Don't you know I'm not at school no more?" "But you must go to school, or else the police will come." "True?" "The police don't know how's made the school!" "None of you go to school?" "No, we just don't have time." " Do not you like school?" " No, don't like to be in prison." "Why?" "There is a difference!" "Luciano, tell him!" "The school is an ugly prison and the prison is a fair school!" " How many times must I call you?" " Yes, I'm going!" " I have to go to work." " And do not we go playing anymore?" "Yes, anytime I'll come to meet you." "Give them away!" "Send them away!" "Why did you allowed them to invade the house?" " Mom..." " I must call the police!" "They made me afraid!" " Send them away!" " Mom, ssh..." "Now I'll take care." "Okay?" "Hi, Giulia, darling!" "How are you?" "You're so beautiful!" "What a great lady is your mother!" "What a beautiful oldie!" "It is a noble one." "Giulia, however thank you for what you did but do not stress, everything is affixed." "At first, we had a few discussions, but that's normal." " She holds a certain age..." " Nunzia." " Tell me, darling." " Listen..." " Come, let's sit..." " Tell me, joy!" "Nunzia, listen well." "My mother has always had a waitress." "Since she married she has never changed her." "She's the woman who saw me born, she holded me me and my brother." "She has always lived here." "She's never gone, they aged together." "This woman let's say the waitress, died just 3 months ago." "You understand that seen the house invaded, sorry by one who says he wants to take his place is not pleasant!" "But how got into your head to rush here without warning?" "I understand, love and I apologize on my knees with my face on the ground." "I had been a rude footballer." "But don't mortify me more." "I was wrong, I know but I did it out of necessity because if I didn't need it I won't..." "Hi!" "What do you want?" "But why do you come like that?" "Coffe is ready or not?" "Keep the pack I have to go do something." "My friend is named Gaetano." "He'll lead us to the pet store." " But do not we go home?" " No, I told you where to go." "Come on!" " But.. what does he eat?" " Nothing so simple, look." "We give him 2 a week." "If you prefer, you can make a stock and keep them in the freezer." "But, you know, he prefers them alive." " I go out to smoke a cigarette." " What?" "Not convinced?" "I was taken a bit upset." "A snake I did not expect..." "A little surprise, here." "But are you sure?" "Among us it is not necessary to have a lot of discussions now we know well each other." "I'm glad to see her quiet and smiling." "Me too, however, I would need to be a bit quiet because my job is not so by definition, but with a moment of looking at her in the eye and I ask:" " ..." "Where we're bringing Mario?" " Look, doctor frankly I think there is nothing to be alarmed." "I can understand the perplexity of your Collaborators they do their job." "Only that one should avoid some of them did..." " ..." "How to say, too well." " You are a most intelligent woman for me to advise employees to close one eye." "I did not mean absolutely to say this, just..." "We did commend this attempt." "And then try to bring it to fruition." "Also for psychological reasons..." "But why do you not fuck yourself and your psychological reasons?" " You could care even Milly before the court decides there you would be even better than here and we'll put you in the children service." " And so we will be screwed." " Nunzia..." " Nunzia?" "But what do you think?" "I do not think that I'm doing better than you." "Can't you see that Guido isn't here?" "He left to... how is it?" "Venezuela." "A year and 6 months for a bisinis." "And I can not bring myself to be alone, especially at night!" "But I've...organized." "But how do you sleep alone?" "That's why you're so stressed." "Did I have to ask and hever throw out him because I'm his mother." "I'm good." " Do you want a Merit?" " Yes." "She always says she'll go but she never does." "You're right." " But she's not going never more." " Excellent!" "I only say." "I wanted to know, because I was not convinced." "Do see what I take?" "Mario!" "Mario!" " Hello?" " Where are you?" " At school to finish a job." " At this hour?" "I'll call you in 5 minutes." "Replys the answering machine..." "Mario!" "Mario!" "Mario!" "Mario!" "Answered the secretary..." "Sandro?" "Mario didn't get back!" "Do not know." "I do not know how you can help, but I'm going to find him." "Yes, I'm going to find him." "Okay, hello." "Open, please." "What?" "Something happened at school?" "So, you painted the whole school." "You'd be very tired..." "Do you want to open, so we can go to sleep?" "Go..." "Shhh..." "He's in the car." "Asleep." "Thank you." "It was Sandro." "Did you see what cute?" "He came to see if we needed help." "He says he does not like to be with us this time that we neglected him." "To thinks we lived as husband and wife for almost 2 years and now..." "So?" " Giulia:" "I'm the winner!" " No, me!" " Me!" " I won." "I, me, me!" "Hello?" "Yes, just now." "Yes, like an angel." "Yes, the keys I do not know, ask him." "He may have taken them from the vessel at the entrance." "No, but what do you want to eat now?" "It's late." "I probably will drink a herbal tea." "Hey!" "Okay, come on." "It's okay." "Tomorrow I'll call you and I'll explain it better." "Bye." "Enough, I'm tired." "I give up." "Ahu!" "Enough." "Ouch!" "It hurts..." "This morning I do not want to go to school." "I want to go to my mom's in Ponticelli." "Okay, do not get angry." "I'll go, I'll go to school." "Hey!" "Do not you give me a kiss today?" " Madam, you can not stay here." " Sorry." "I'll call you on your phone!" " What are you doing?" "Don't you come to school?" " No." " And Cutolo is continuing to see him?" " Yes, yes." " You know what I think about it." " Giulia, we must talk about everything." "I do not know, I do not know..." "Yes, let's talk with Cutolo." "We're here to do that." "But do not exaggerate." "Do not become a case story." "Mario?" "Where is Mario?" "Hello?" "Hello?" " I gotta go." " Did something happen?" "No, no, no." "Giulia!" "Do not worry." "Sorry for the delay, the ring road was blocked!" "You want Nunzia?" " Sorry?" " You wanted Nunzia?" " Yes" " There's nobody home." "It's up to Molfetta by his cousin." " I do not like it anymore." " What, you do not like it anymore?" "We'll get the shoes." "And do not watch me!" " As the Egyptians..." " They have stolen the Nokia." "Luciano!" "Hi, Mario!" "But you're always in prison?" "Come, come!" "Let me introduce you to my friends." "Boys, this is Mario." "Mario, do you keep the phone?" "I want to make a call." "No, it was stolen." "Here's the phone." "He holds it in the folder." "Mario, but what are you doing here?" "My friend needs to make a call his mother is in hospital." "Can he?" "This one is stolen." "And do not tell anyone otherwise we come and piss you in the face." "He painted in red all the walls of his class." "I had to repaint them." "Here is a payable account." "Now, then, after that..." "serious episode we are literally shocked." "You, Mrs. Jodice, which is his guardian and knows him well will assess better than anyone else the involution of this child." "I do not want speeches on youth and the ills that hatch." "We're all sufficiently fed up with words." "We use reason, these are the facts." " This case is so simple..." " Easy!" "There was an aggression, with theft and threats." "Criminals from neighborhoods came here to us because some people tolerate them, even justified." "This is the truth." "We must defend ourselves." "These little rascals must remain away from our homes, families and schools." "Those you call "small scoundrels "are our children..." " ..." "And if they are violent..." " These must be your children!" "She's ok, overall condition is excellent." " Ultrasound is not necessary." " Thanks, Giovanna." "I've got a baby, mama." "With him I felt for the first time in my life the joy of responsibility, just..." "I feel inadequate." "The birth of a child involves 3 generations, mother." "3 generations!" "A mother, a daughter who is about to become a mother and the baby that is born." "But a woman can become a reliable, serene mother only if someone has passed her the secret of motherhood." "I do not know him, Mom." " I do not even know..." " Not true!" "These are fixations." "You are healthy." "You just have to have courage." "When she's angry, she makes me sleep in the car and makes me eat only carrots." "Then she said that I had to learn the piano and English." "But what must I do with this English?" "And then, the piano is too heavy." "I do not want to study." " But what perfume you wear?" " My perfume?" "It's named Hermes." " Hermes." "Who is Hermes?" " The name of the perfume." "Ah." "Mom did not wear it, because she doesn't want to be beautiful." "Before that, she would not even use lipstick and even shoes with heels." "What do you like on your mom?" "This I can not say, or else Sandro gets angry." "And why should he get angry?" "Hermes?" "!" "Hey, Hermes, I like it." "But what do you not know?" "If I leave can I bring my computer with games and everything?" "And then you can name him like me, Mario." "But what is it?" "You do not answer me?" "So?" "Where you going?" "!" "Here!" "If you do not take off your shoes, you'll not caught me." "Oh dear..." " And if it is a female?" " Maria." "Because the only freedom is intelligence and making art is one of manifestations of intelligence." "Only that it is difficult to put the limits, the reasons, the need." "He said:" "..."I used much white..."" ""...but it could also be black..."" ""...or when..."" ""..." "I wanted to do something..." "Pink..."" ""...pink shock..."" ""...to fashion..."" ""...because art is not..." "only sculpture, painting..."" ""...architecture."" ""Art is a creation of man..."" "Sorry, guys." "Today I just can not do." " Good morning." "Mrs. De Dominici?" " Yes" "Lieutenant Diego Santoro body of the Municipal Guards under the Juvenile Court." "Me and my colleague, Lieutenant Eduardo Mattozzi we have the task to escort You into court with the minor Mario Ciotola, aged 9." " Now?" " Yes, madam." "You can see, the order is for immediate execution." "It's absurd!" "It's absurd!" "Accompany us with your car." "At least give me time to get upstairs and warn someone..." " ..." "Make some calls?" " Please, ma'am, go ahead." "No, now!" "Do not you understand?" "They're waiting for me downstairs with the car of the Court!" "I wish only that you, I do not know, if you can meet me at the Court." "Where are you?" "Then, at least, I implore you, if you can call..." "But what do you want me to do?" "With the police in the house as if I were a criminal!" "You could not at least precede it by a phone call?" "Make them understand that we are not ready to surrender and if you need..." "No, I do not know, I do not know." " Dr. Longobardi, please." " First door on the right." "Please." "Get in!" " Please!" " Good morning." "But how wonderful!" "At least our young people are well!" "So let's take care." "Here we are!" "We all are at your disposal!" "And then, tell us how you feel how you felt these months staying with Ms. De Dominici!" "Did you like it, or you do not like it?" "In short, we chat a bit what you think of this experience!" "Share it with us!" "Okay?" "Eg, what do you think about the future?" "What do you expect?" "Mario..." "Mario?" "The only thing, when I see the future, is to move forward." "Er..." "Who tells these beautiful things?" " Did you hear it on TV, uh?" " No, they are here." "This time you'll have a true family, with parents, brothers..." "Mommy, why?" "We're not a real family?" "Sure, sure we are a real family." "With some problems, sure." "But what is the family without problems?" "It is much more difficult, Dear Giulia be adoptive parents than just parents." "But you do not need to worry for him." "We believe that a reliable family already established will be most appropriate." "The error Dear Giulia, was mine." "As the custody Judge, I take full responsibility." "I had to immediately understand that such a foster care was impossible." "I just hope that Mario does not prove one of those cases of kids always on the run on himself..." "Before the fighting We did a little cut here near this eye and you put dust into it and after that nothing was worth anything, I felt strong and invincible." "Now often I'm dreaming I'm shooting and cutting the hands and I'm afraid." "So better Shad-Sky comes to fetch me and takes me with him because it's just there where I came from." "I remember that I was a prisoner..."
