Bye, thanks.

You did that on purpose _
- l didn't know.

- Shall l close it ?
- l____,lo, leave it open.
Ma'am, are you turning o_
the water at half past nine ?
How long will this work go on ?

You're doing me a favour
Ietting me stay here.

Tomorrow afternoon ?
Goddammit _
Don't worry, l'll find
somewhere else to stay.
Don't worry, you're still the best.
You're the best _
See you tomorrow, thanks. Bye.
Motherfucker _
Where'll l go now,
under a bridge ?
Come in.
Mother, good morning.
l've brought you my monthly rent.
l may come back late tonight.
Around midnight, l'm inte_iewing
people at a film premiere.
Mr Brignola,
l think you've mistaken this place
for a hotel.
l'll make no other requests.
l'm looking for a place,
l'm seeing someone today.
That's very sensible.
l want to give you...
one of my books that
l think will interest you.
''Dogma of the Image
in l____,lew Asian Cinema.''
Don't look at the cover.
- Have a good day.
- You too.
- Here l am.
- Okay.
- Sorry.
- Don't worry.
Sorry l'm late.
- Brignola, nice to meet you.
- Diamanti.
- You're standing in for Mr Segato...
- Isn't that you ?
- l____,lo, l've come to see a flat.
- Me too.
Here he is _
- Mr Brignola.
- l____,lo, l'm Diamanti, he's Brignola.
l must've made a mistake.
Who wants to see it first ?
- l've got a delivery arriving.
- l have an inte_iew to do.
Let's kill mo birds with one stone
and see it together _
- Let's go _
- All right then...
This place has everything you need.
There are about eight square metres
upstairs too, l think.
We've seen it.
Eight metres which could be handy
one day for a child...
- Yes...
- Just a thought, you know.
Of course... but the ad
said it was ''furnished''.
- l can only see a buzzer _
- Yes, but it has electricity, gas...
- Those are the basics _
- There's not even a fridge _
- Why did you say ''furnished'' ?
-You'll need to buy a few things _
Anyway, the rent's GOO euros per month,
plus 150 bi-monthly se_ice charge
and 3 monthi deposit.
So to live in this dump
you want...
2,550 euros.
That's GOO euros per month
plus the rest.
What did you expect for that price ?
- You're welcome to it.
- l____,lo, l can't a_ord it.
Guys, you knowwhat
you'll find that's cheaper than this ?
Catacombs _
Okay, it's not suitable for
your needs, let's say that.
l have your numbers.
- l'll give you mine.
- Great.
You dropped this.
l've already done it,
l like to try, you never know.
lt's not suitable for our needs.
Think it over, Mr Brignola.
This is a great apartment.
Okay, we will.
My client is requesting
an extra 100 euros per month
on top of the 400 euros maintenance.
Your Honour, as our counterparty's
Iawyer knows,
my client already pays 200 euros
maintenance for his daughter.
- This extra 100 euros...
- And the mortgage ?
l pay GOO euros monthly
for the mortgage
on the house my ex-wife lives in.
l only have TOO euros left
out of my 1 ,_OO euros wage.
100 euros may seem like little,
but in these conditions
it's a matter of su_ival for me.
This is notjust a whim
on my client's behalf,
but a contribution
to her daughter's maintenance.
After all, it's certainly not
my client's fault we're here.
Giorgia...
what's up ?
Lorenza _
Here's daddy.
Lorenza _
Didn't you hear the baby ?
Where are you ?
Won't you answer me ?
Here you are.
Why are you sitting in the dark ?
l was reading these emails
that are worthy of a cheap novel.
This is what she says to you.
''Darling...
l can't wait for Friday
so l can kiss you in the sun.''
- Very passionate, really.
- l can explain.
l'm worried about you.
You're so distracted by love
you forgot to sign out.
You reply:
''l can't wait for the weekend,
just the mo of us.''
And how do you describe me ?
''A woman destroyed
by post-natal depression,
dull, sick...
with no zest for life.''
Thanks.
Darling, l wrote those things
_enwe were...
-Wewere...
- You're disgusting _
You cheated on me
with your bosi wife _
- l can explain _
- Like hell you can _
ln view of the facts,
l grant Mrs Mauri's request
and order Mr Brignola
to pay 100 euros monthly
in addition to the agreed amount.
Control yourself.
0e3r Ullsse.
once again l have to v_rite to you
to as_,you to pay
this _nth's m3inten3nce,
Due to your late payments

Ple3se. Uon't _orce _
to go to my lav_yer again,
_et's try to avoid the terrible
mista_,es v_e've made in the past,
Than_,s, Claire,
- So it's true ?
- Calm down, you'll scare her.
lt's not down to me,
the decision comes from London.
Unfortunately, this new project
convinces no one.
So you knew _
But l found out from the secretary,
not my husband _
l did my best,
but after the result of the first
single, they don't want to risk it.
- Just bide your time.
- It's been five years _
- It's not my fault, Claire.
- Yes it is _
l told you it wasn't the right time
to have kids.
You can't have a kid at 18,
but you insisted _
ln these five years,
you've forgotten that l'm an artist,
notjust a housewife and mother.
- Why are you complaining ?
- Why am l complaining ?
Okay, l knowwhat,
you look after Agnese today.
Be a father for one day _
Well, really...
Dad, will you and mom make up ?
Sure, moms and dads always
argue, then make up.
What have you brought me ?
Is it a poem ?
A poem...
You did this ? It's beautiful _
Hi, Claudio.
Well ?

Se_ice, Live in San Francisco'' ?
- What's the question ?

There was only a bootleg
European CD edition.
You're the only real expert left,
that's for sure _
- Excuse me.
- Yes ?
Have you got the 1_82
''Chart-toppers'' compilation ?
Ma'am, how can you ask me that ?
- A ''Chart-toppers'' compilation ?

You knowwhat l want.
lt'd keep you going for one year,

Think about it.
Can l help you ?
- What a surprise _
- Shall we talk here or outside ?
Guys, will you give me mo minutes
to talk with my friends ?
You think you'll solve this
in mo minutes ?
l don't have the money yet.
The recession has hit this sector too,
l haven't sold anything.
Be patient, l told Marisa too.

That's right.
You're going to be a dad.
What's wrong ?
l____,lothing, it'sjust that l wanted
to tell you something last night...
l was going to tell you,
but then l decided to wait.

You're telling me after one year ?
You piece of shit _
You're a piece of shit _

My cousin's working her ass o_

Who's going to pay her ? Who ?
She needs her money now _
You've got till

Yes, l wanted...
l wanted to tell you l'm free.

We can't go on like this _
Seven o'clock is perfect,

Like a gun, yes.
Just three questions each,

Try to respect the order,

Fulvio Brignola _
So it's true, from leading critic
to showbiz reporter.
Hi, Sandra.

min soul coming out or not ?
Yes, soon.
Listen, have you really split
from your wife ?
- Isn't that my business ?
- l thrive on other people's business.
Well, that's why we're di_erent.
l____,lo, we're the same.
You have to make a living out
of other people's business too now.
Hello ?
Who ? Domenico Segato ?
From the agency, of course.
Go ahead.
Salvato ?
Ah, Segato.
Yes, from the agency... Go ahead.
As you can see, there are three
spacious rooms,
a lovely bathroom...
This house has got everything
you need.
With a lick of paint...
Mr Diamanti,
have a look, walk around.
Make yourself at home _
But don't expect to find any
special designer features.
Guys, keep in mind that
an 8T-year-old woman lived here.
- Cigarette ?
- Thanks, l don't smoke.
- Mr Brignola ?
- Thanks, l don't smoke.
The rent is T50 euros.
- That'd be 250 each.
- Each ?
You don't get my dri_.
You don't understand.
250 from you, 250 from you
and 250 from me.
How can you think that
three strangers could live together ?
- And at our age too _
- Are you kidding ?
l've figured you out,
l've done an MRl on you.
For example, where do you live ?
ln the back of my shop.
- And you, Mr Brignola ?
- Temporarily l'm in...
- l didn't get that.
- l____,lor did l.
A convent.
ln a convent.
Forgive me for laughing,
but l wasn't any better o_.
l was docked at the port, on a boat.
l'm notjust o_ering you
a simple solution
but a fantastic one _
There's no reception here,
l need it for work.
- l____,lo reception ?
- Look, l need it to work.
So do l, that's the problem.
Listen to me, just hold it
where there's reception.
- There, three bars.
- But there's no privacy.
The strong point of this place
is that it's quiet.
- Give me back my phone.
- What's going on ?
l___,,lothing, it's the subway.
This is a major problem _
- Don't think of it as a problem.
- Holy shit _
l___,,lo, you can get anywhere
in ten minutes.
Ten minutes.
ln ten minutes
we'll be under rubble.
What if we don't get along ?
What do you think ?
What do you expect me to think ?
We can't wait to start
getting along.
But in the eventuality...
would you mind if l had the room
opposite the bathroom ?
- The biggest one.
- l___,,lo, they're all the same size.
l've already written your name on it,
''Flavio''.
lt's Fulvio.
Don't do that, we don't need
anymore banging _
We have a roof.
We have a roof over our heads,
hot water, what more could we want ?
- There's hot water ?
- Of course.
That at least.
- It's boiling now.
- Really ?
What are you doing ?
- Excuse me.
- What are you doing ?
l haven't had a hot shower
for six months.
Any newspapers l can dry o_ with ?
See ? He likes it already.
Listen to me, let's take it.
Trust me.
Guys, it's almost ready...
l____,lo smoking in the kitchen
and more importantly no throwing
butts on the floor _
Fulvio, the pasta will be ready soon.
l'll just plug my laptop in.
l____,lo _ That dickhead's
using his sun lamp _
Domenico, there's not enough power
for that lamp _
You overload it _
Sorry, l forgot.
This is no good.
l'm warning you, this is no good.
Just let me catch a few more rays,
turn the damn power on.
Turn something else o_ _
This is mad, us living together...
Come on _ Ten minutes...
Ulisse, l ate really well tonight,
you're a great cook.
- Thanks.
- Hush, or we'll put the TV in there.
l don't knowwhy it's in your room.
lt helps me sleep.
Ulisse, there's something
l want to ask you.
Why did you live in your shop ?
l was one of Europe's
biggest music producers.
l brought loads of international
artists to Italy,
won three golden discs...
And then ?
The head company in London
went bust,
a series of fiascos,
including my wife's record
that l produced,
more out of love than conviction.
Then one disaster after another.
My wife who was 18 when we married,
with whom l had a daughter,
left me.
- Sure, her record flopped _
- Domenico, come on.
That's why you opened a record shop,
in order to...
Yes, in honour of my glorious past.
l opened a record shop, yes.
- People still buy records ?
- Yes, they still do.
l____,lo o_ence meant, but it's like
a sad version of my life.
- Why sad ?
- Okay, without the ''sad''.
l was a big businessman, l ran
the best estate agency in Rome,
then at a certain point...
bye bye _
- What happened ?
- l gambled it all away.
- You gambled it ?
- On football, horses, and dogs.
Bemeen me and you,
l even spent a year in jail
and mo on probation.
- So what did my wife do ?
- She left you.
Listen to how you say it...
My story is di_erent to yours though.
- My wife was beautiful.
- And mine wasn't ?
- What about mine ?
- l don't know.
- l haven't seen them.
- A splendid daughter...
A perfect family.
But after the birth of our daughter,
my wife su_ered from depression.
And you got a lover,
so you're a bastard like us mo.
Like you, l didn't have a lover.
What do you know ?
Let me finish _
l didn't recognise her anymore,
she wasn't the woman l married.
She wouldn't talk to me,
we hadn't made love for months...
lt's normal that you go for a woman
in the same situation.
We didn't even do anything,
but go tell my wife that _
- She threw me out of the house.
- What did you expect ?
- And l lost my job too.
- Why was that ?
A small detail:
my lover was my bosi wife.
- ms she hot ?
- Come on _
- What's that got to do with it ?
- l was a top writer.
- More like a top lover _
- Enough _
Stop it, you're obsessed _
l was a respected critic
and l was demoted to a reporter.
- In whatway ?
- Showbiz news.
Who goes to parties, who's had
plastic surgery, who's cheated...
Anyway, in my opinion,
we've had a fantastic evening.
Don't you think ?
We're getting o_ to a great start _
l'm going to shower then go out.
- Has it been a fantastic evening ?
- It's been a terrible evening.
Where's he going at this time ?
The fact that he got arrested
gives me the creeps...
Fulvio, there's something
sinister here.
You're so beautiful, my darling.
l like your hair,
you should keep it like that.
- It's alv_ays been li_,e this,,,
- How l wish you were here _
Dad, stop it now, you always
treat me like l'm a dumb child.
Vou're not Uumb.
but you are a chil_,
By the v_ay. daddy's success
of the day,
_oo_,v_hat l sold on Ebay
_or 400 euros,
- It's ultra rare.
- Who is it ?
The mlker Brothers,
a bootleg copy of a Japanese concert.
Tell that witch mother of yours
l'll pay her tomorrow
and to get o_ my back _
Nov_ close your eyes.
l have a surprise for y_u,
- A surprise ?
- Close your eyes.
You can open them now.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear daddy
Happy birthday to you
- Thanks.
- You forgot, didn't you ?
Yes, l forgot.
- Bye, Franco.
- Bye, Ulisse.
Excuse me, do you live here
with my father ?
- Who's your father ?
- Segato.
- Domenico Segato.
- Yes, he lives with us.
l don't think he's here, it's locked.
l tried ringing, l called him too
but he's not answering.
Come in.
- It's urgent.
- We'll wait for him.
l really need to speak to him.
Let me introduce myself, l'm Ulisse.

Great _

- l want one hour of foreplay.
- My God _ One hour ?
- One hour _
Cut it out _
Be quiet.

- l'll never leave you.
- _ear _
- l swear, l won't leave you.

- l____,lothing, it's all natural.
lt's all testosterone, my darling.
He'll be on a viewing
or he's left his phone at work.
What a drag _
Domenico ?
Ulisse, the delicatessen was closed...
- Sorry.

This is Marika, Domenico's daughter.
She's waiting for her dad.
- Hi, l'm Fulvio.
- Hi.
Did you have accident,
or did someone hit you ?
You're reading from the same script ?
- l said the same thing.
- Sure, look at her...
l dropped my orange.
Marika, would you mind...
l'll try calling Domenico again.
l can't look at him up there
at the window, it's scary.

Such lovely skin _
Sorry, l must answer.

- It's the subway, another problem.
Why don't you leave this house ?
You were great as usual.

Even if this time l sailed through...

He's boiling.

- It's happened before...
Let's lie down, slowly.
''Emergency cardio''...
Gloria, it's useless.
We're incompatible.
You're telling me were incompatible

What does that mean ?
The truth is you've never liked me.
- l____,lo...
- l'm not good enough for you..
You don't like the way l dress,

the heels aren't right,
my hair's not right, nothing's right _
Don't be like this, come on.
ls it really over ?
- Really ?
- Yes.
Gloria, l repeat,
we're incompatible.
- We're incompatible.

Close the door _
Bastard...

- There's a sick person.
- Domenico Segato.
- Yes.
- We're in Via Sesto...
- Via Resto... ?
- Sesto.
- Sesto ?
Sesto Trinacrio 322.
Trina... Tango, Romeo, India...
l____,lovember...
Good evening.
- Is Domenico Segati here ?
- Segato, yes.
- l'm the cardiologist.
- Come in.
Sorry l took so long, but
the sat nav couldn't find it.
l didn't knowwhether to put
Sesto or Trinacrio...
- Thisway ?
- l___,,lo, thatway.
- l'll just get undressed.
- What ?
- The doctor's here.
- Good evening.
Sorry l'm late.
Where is it ?
- Here.
- These might be better.
Sorry, l picked up my headphones.
l don't feel so good,
l've had a rough day.
- So what happened ?
- He had a funny turn.
His heart was beating fast,
he was red, boiling hot...
When you felt ill,
did you feel a pain in your head,
or your chest, like a visceral pain ?
- l____,lo.
- Good, that excludes a heart attack.
Sorry, would you have
a glass of mineral water ?
l___,,lo, only tap water.
l____,lo, it's got too much calcium.
l have terrible gall stones.
- Listen, he's the patient.
- Okay.
- Oh God, it's an earthquake _
- l___,,lo, it's the subway.
- It's the one rushing to the depot.
- It could give you a heart attack.
Well...
80 over 30.
- You su_er from hypotension ?
- l___,,lo, not usually.
Tell me the truth, what did you take ?
Help me.
- What did you take ?
- He smokes a lot.
What is it ?
Viagra _
How much did you take ?
Three 50mg tablets ?
- Four ?
- Cash for Viagra, but not food, huh ?
l thought the redness was unusual,
l knew there must be a reason.
lt's a problem with... what's it called ?
- _sodilatation.
- Yes, sorry.
Thanks, you're right.
Shall we check your heart ?
- Let's buy some mineral water.
- He said he'd buy it.
Do you think she knows
what she's doing ?
She looks like she's been crying,
her make-up has run...
She tried listening to his heart
with her MP3 headphones _
- Can l have a word ?
- Yes.
l'll just say one thing,
it was my father's.
What was ?
Will you buy it o_ me ?
l have one, and l have no cash.
Could you sell it for me,
it could have belonged to...
- To who ?
- Frank Zappa _
You think he wore a self-winding watch
with a calf-skin strap ?
Why, what did he wear ?
He played naked,
he didn't wear a shirt _
lt's crocodile skin, anyway.
Fulvio, let's not confuse junk
with vintage, which is serious.
Don't you dare, this watch
belonged to my father.
Yes, but not to Frank Zappa.
That's nonsense.
He had a serious hypotension seizure.
With what he took he should
go to the hospital.
l've written it all down,
he should have an ECG.
- l didn't get that, sorry.
- An ECG.
Are you his friends ?
Let's say we live together.
Tell him not to take those things,
they're bad for him.
These are private matters,
we hardly know each other.
That's right, we hardly know

You're dead _
Assholes _
You're a pair of assholes.

apartment and open a drawer.
lt's not rocket science _
You entered the only flat

Did they recognise us ?
Luckily the old lady thought
she heard a foreign accent
so they've blamed gypsies _
- Oh God, it's Gaia.

Listen, don't come in here

The analysis l have done
for my thesis
has led me to think
that to rea_irm the principles
of ethical behaviour in the State
it's absolutely necessary
and fundamental
to re-educate people in order
to transform them into real citizens
notjust sad consumers.
Very good, Mr Segato.
That'll do.
You may take a seat.
Francesco, daddy's little boy _
Did you see me there ?
Yes, l did.
Looking at you, l thought

at my graduation.
Can't your dad come to one of

They're students.
Who'll support them ?
Howwill they su_ive ?
Let me ask you a question,
who do you love most in the world ?
- Come on _
- It's a stupid question, but tell me.
lt's obvious, my daughter, Agnese.
lf your wife hadn't kept her when
she was 18, Agnese wouldn't be here.
- So ?

Hi.
Hi.
As you've honoured us with your
presence, make yourself useful.
Have you made her see sense ?
Don't start using that tone.
Dad's come from Rome especially.
Your mom is quite rightly
expressing her concern.
- At your age, a 1T...
- That's right.
She mustn't make the same mistake
l made because of you.
- So l'm a mistake ?
- Come on, you knowwhat l mean.
- You're saying l'm a mistake ?
- She didn't mean it that way.
- l'm a mistake _
- You're not.
Agnese...
Why do you still use
the word ''mistake'' with Agnese ?
''Still'' ?
Look what l'm doing,
singing to pensioners _
A record at 18 and a career
ruined by a pregnancy.
- You know how good l was.
- You were fucking crap _
Your career didn't end
because of me or Agnese,
it ended because
you were a crap singer.
You were conceited.
My career was a disaster
because l produced your record,
because l was madly in love,
unlike you,
and l didn't realise
you were a mediocre singer.
You were a mediocre singer,
understood ?
- Excuse me, here.
- Thanks, how kind of you.
Guillaume, listen to me.
Look at me.
Guillaume, something great
is about to happen to you,
something wonderful.
Do you understand ?
Why are you saying this to me ?
l___,,lo one can understand you
more than me.
- Why ?
- l wasvery young too.
But l lost mine.
l don't understand.
You had an abortion ?
l____,lo, l lost it.
l had a miscarriage.
And then ?
Then it never happened again.
So l'm telling you it's a wonderful.
Do you understand ?
- Yes.
- But it's a secret bemeen us.
Bemeen us, okay ?
Let's go, we'll join them for dinner.
- Me too ?
- Of course _ Let's go.

Oh God _
Dear Editor. l'm v_riting
to inform you of'my resignation,
ln my life l've made many mista_,es,
Nov_ l find myself lost
and unable to gain control
of my life
but maybe l've understood v_hy,
We expect to obtain great results
effortlessly,
We update our feelings
v_ith the same speed as a computer,
yet v_e're not happy,
The anxiety of not being
good enough remains,
l resign hoping that this anxiety
v_ill vanish
and allov_ me to pic_,up
_romythere l'U le_t o__,
l'd li_,e to earn myself a place
in he3ven,
li_,e everyone,
but l suspect there v_ill be
too many of us
and v_e ris_,finding
standing room only,
- That book interests you ?
- l____,lo, l'mjust looking.
Thanks.
- Tell me, are you worried ?
- Yes, because you're students _
- Whatjob does the father of...
- Guillaume.
- Whatjob does he have ?
- Renault laid him o_.
lt's a pitiful situation.
Haven't you also
been sort of laid o_ ?
At least he gets redundancy pay.
So let's say that we're
a poor generation,
this is a time of poverty _
- What did his parents say ?
- They accepted it.
- They did ?
- We can go live with them.
ln their small house in the suburbs,
we'll have our own room.
- Sounds like a crazy family.
- l___,,lo, they're a real family.
They're what we've never been.
l have to go now, see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, bye.
- Howdid it go ?
- So, so.
Let's go.
Listen.
Do what you feel.
But be careful.
Be careful.
Guillaume, don't forget,
responsibility.
Responsibility.
Claudio, it's Ulisse.
l wanted to tell you
that l'll accept your o_er.
The belt is yours.
- Sorry l'm late.
- Don't worry.
- Giorgia ?
- She's watching cartoons.

- Don't worry.
See you later.
Thanks for letting me see her.

Ulisse !

Bye, thanks.

You did that on purpose _
- l didn't know.
- l already told you mice _
- Shall l close it ?
- l____,lo, leave it open.
Ma'am, are you turning o_
the water at half past nine ?
How long will this work go on ?
Goddammit _
What a sad life,
l don't even have water _
Who is it ?
Fabrizio...
How are you ?

You're doing me a favour
Ietting me stay here.
When ?
Tell me, l'll leave right away.
l'll be o_ your boat in five.
Tomorrow afternoon ?
Goddammit _
Don't worry, l'll find
somewhere else to stay.
Don't worry, you're still the best.
You're the best _
See you tomorrow, thanks. Bye.
Motherfucker _
Where'll l go now,
under a bridge ?
Come in.
Mother, good morning.
l've brought you my monthly rent.
l may come back late tonight.
Around midnight, l'm inte_iewing
people at a film premiere.
Mr Brignola,
l think you've mistaken this place
for a hotel.
l'll make no other requests.
l'm looking for a place,
l'm seeing someone today.
That's very sensible.
l want to give you...
one of my books that
l think will interest you.
''Dogma of the Image
in l____,lew Asian Cinema.''
Don't look at the cover.
- Have a good day.
- You too.
- Here l am.
- Okay.
- Sorry.
- Don't worry.
Sorry l'm late.
- Brignola, nice to meet you.
- Diamanti.
- You're standing in for Mr Segato...
- Isn't that you ?
- l____,lo, l've come to see a flat.
- Me too.
Here he is _
- Mr Brignola.
- l____,lo, l'm Diamanti, he's Brignola.
l must've made a mistake.
Who wants to see it first ?
- l've got a delivery arriving.
- l have an inte_iew to do.
Let's kill mo birds with one stone
and see it together _
- Let's go _
- All right then...
This place has everything you need.
There are about eight square metres
upstairs too, l think.
We've seen it.
Eight metres which could be handy
one day for a child...
- Yes...
- Just a thought, you know.
Of course... but the ad
said it was ''furnished''.
- l can only see a buzzer _
- Yes, but it has electricity, gas...
- Those are the basics _
- There's not even a fridge _
- Why did you say ''furnished'' ?
-You'll need to buy a few things _
Anyway, the rent's GOO euros per month,
plus 150 bi-monthly se_ice charge
and 3 monthi deposit.
So to live in this dump
you want...
2,550 euros.
That's GOO euros per month
plus the rest.
What did you expect for that price ?
- You're welcome to it.
- l____,lo, l can't a_ord it.
Guys, you knowwhat
you'll find that's cheaper than this ?
Catacombs _
Okay, it's not suitable for
your needs, let's say that.
l have your numbers.
- l'll give you mine.
- Great.
You dropped this.
l've already done it,
l like to try, you never know.
lt's not suitable for our needs.
Think it over, Mr Brignola.
This is a great apartment.
Okay, we will.
My client is requesting
an extra 100 euros per month
on top of the 400 euros maintenance.
Your Honour, as our counterparty's
Iawyer knows,
my client already pays 200 euros
maintenance for his daughter.
- This extra 100 euros...
- And the mortgage ?
l pay GOO euros monthly
for the mortgage
on the house my ex-wife lives in.
l only have TOO euros left
out of my 1 ,_OO euros wage.
100 euros may seem like little,
but in these conditions
it's a matter of su_ival for me.
This is notjust a whim
on my client's behalf,
but a contribution
to her daughter's maintenance.
After all, it's certainly not
my client's fault we're here.
Giorgia...
what's up ?
Lorenza _
Here's daddy.
Lorenza _
Didn't you hear the baby ?
Where are you ?
Won't you answer me ?
Here you are.
Why are you sitting in the dark ?
l was reading these emails
that are worthy of a cheap novel.
This is what she says to you.
''Darling...
l can't wait for Friday
so l can kiss you in the sun.''
- Very passionate, really.
- l can explain.
l'm worried about you.
You're so distracted by love
you forgot to sign out.
You reply:
''l can't wait for the weekend,
just the mo of us.''
And how do you describe me ?
''A woman destroyed
by post-natal depression,
dull, sick...
with no zest for life.''
Thanks.
Darling, l wrote those things
_enwe were...
-Wewere...
- You're disgusting _
You cheated on me
with your bosi wife _
- l can explain _
- Like hell you can _
ln view of the facts,
l grant Mrs Mauri's request
and order Mr Brignola
to pay 100 euros monthly
in addition to the agreed amount.
Control yourself.
0e3r Ullsse.
once again l have to v_rite to you
to as_,you to pay
this _nth's m3inten3nce,
Due to your late payments
it's been h3rU to m3h\e enUs _et,

Ple3se. Uon't _orce _
to go to my lav_yer again,
_et's try to avoid the terrible
mista_,es v_e've made in the past,
Than_,s, Claire,
- So it's true ?
- Calm down, you'll scare her.
lt's not down to me,
the decision comes from London.
Unfortunately, this new project
convinces no one.
So you knew _
But l found out from the secretary,
not my husband _
l did my best,
but after the result of the first
single, they don't want to risk it.
- Just bide your time.
- It's been five years _
- It's not my fault, Claire.
- Yes it is _
l told you it wasn't the right time
to have kids.
You can't have a kid at 18,
but you insisted _
ln these five years,
you've forgotten that l'm an artist,
notjust a housewife and mother.
- Why are you complaining ?
- Why am l complaining ?
Okay, l knowwhat,
you look after Agnese today.
Be a father for one day _
Well, really...
Dad, will you and mom make up ?
Sure, moms and dads always
argue, then make up.
What have you brought me ?
Is it a poem ?
A poem...
You did this ? It's beautiful _
Hi, Claudio.
Well ?
lf l said: ''Ouicksilver Messenger
Se_ice, Live in San Francisco'' ?
- What's the question ?
- The record.
There is no record,
it's never existed.
There was only a bootleg
European CD edition.
You're the only real expert left,
that's for sure _
- Excuse me.
- Yes ?
Have you got the 1_82
''Chart-toppers'' compilation ?
Ma'am, how can you ask me that ?
- A ''Chart-toppers'' compilation ?
- You don't have it ?
- l____,lo.
- Where can l find one ?
ln a bargain bin.

Fulvio Brignola _
So it's true, from leading critic
to showbiz reporter.
Hi, Sandra.

min soul coming out or not ?
Yes, soon.
Listen, have you really split
from your wife ?
- Isn't that my business ?
- l thrive on other people's business.
Well, that's why we're di_erent.
l____,lo, we're the same.
You have to make a living out
of other people's business too now.
Hello ?
Who ? Domenico Segato ?
From the agency, of course.
Go ahead.
Salvato ?
Ah, Segato.
Yes, from the agency... Go ahead.
As you can see, there are three
spacious rooms,
a lovely bathroom...
This house has got everything
you need.
With a lick of paint...
Mr Diamanti,
have a look, walk around.
Make yourself at home _
But don't expect to find any
special designer features.
Guys, keep in mind that
an 8T-year-old woman lived here.
- Cigarette ?
- Thanks, l don't smoke.
- Mr Brignola ?
- Thanks, l don't smoke.
The rent is T50 euros.
- That'd be 250 each.
- Each ?
You don't get my dri_.
You don't understand.
250 from you, 250 from you
and 250 from me.
How can you think that
three strangers could live together ?
- And at our age too _
- Are you kidding ?
l've figured you out,
l've done an MRl on you.
For example, where do you live ?
ln the back of my shop.
- And you, Mr Brignola ?
- Temporarily l'm in...
- l didn't get that.
- l____,lor did l.
A convent.
ln a convent.
Forgive me for laughing,
but l wasn't any better o_.
l was docked at the port, on a boat.
l'm notjust o_ering you
a simple solution
but a fantastic one _
There's no reception here,
l need it for work.
- l____,lo reception ?
- Look, l need it to work.
So do l, that's the problem.
Listen to me, just hold it
where there's reception.
- There, three bars.
- But there's no privacy.
The strong point of this place
is that it's quiet.
- Give me back my phone.
- What's going on ?
l___,,lothing, it's the subway.
This is a major problem _
- Don't think of it as a problem.
- Holy shit _
l___,,lo, you can get anywhere
in ten minutes.
Ten minutes.
ln ten minutes
we'll be under rubble.
What if we don't get along ?
What do you think ?
What do you expect me to think ?
We can't wait to start
getting along.
But in the eventuality...
would you mind if l had the room
opposite the bathroom ?
- The biggest one.
- l___,,lo, they're all the same size.
l've already written your name on it,
''Flavio''.
lt's Fulvio.
Don't do that, we don't need
anymore banging _
We have a roof.
We have a roof over our heads,
hot water, what more could we want ?
- There's hot water ?
- Of course.
That at least.
- It's boiling now.
- Really ?
What are you doing ?
- Excuse me.
- What are you doing ?
l haven't had a hot shower
for six months.
Any newspapers l can dry o_ with ?
See ? He likes it already.
Listen to me, let's take it.
Trust me.
Guys, it's almost ready...
l____,lo smoking in the kitchen
and more importantly no throwing
butts on the floor _
Fulvio, the pasta will be ready soon.
l'll just plug my laptop in.
l____,lo _ That dickhead's
using his sun lamp _
Domenico, there's not enough power
for that lamp _
You overload it _
Sorry, l forgot.
This is no good.
l'm warning you, this is no good.
Just let me catch a few more rays,
turn the damn power on.
Turn something else o_ _
This is mad, us living together...
Come on _ Ten minutes...
Ulisse, l ate really well tonight,
you're a great cook.
- Thanks.
- Hush, or we'll put the TV in there.
l don't knowwhy it's in your room.
lt helps me sleep.
Ulisse, there's something
l want to ask you.
Why did you live in your shop ?
l was one of Europe's
biggest music producers.
l brought loads of international
artists to Italy,
won three golden discs...
And then ?
The head company in London
went bust,
a series of fiascos,
including my wife's record
that l produced,
more out of love than conviction.
Then one disaster after another.
My wife who was 18 when we married,
with whom l had a daughter,
left me.
- Sure, her record flopped _
- Domenico, come on.
That's why you opened a record shop,
in order to...
Yes, in honour of my glorious past.
l opened a record shop, yes.
- People still buy records ?
- Yes, they still do.
l____,lo o_ence meant, but it's like
a sad version of my life.
- Why sad ?
- Okay, without the ''sad''.
l was a big businessman, l ran
the best estate agency in Rome,
then at a certain point...
bye bye _
- What happened ?
- l gambled it all away.
- You gambled it ?
- On football, horses, and dogs.
Bemeen me and you,
l even spent a year in jail
and mo on probation.
- So what did my wife do ?
- She left you.
Listen to how you say it...
My story is di_erent to yours though.
- My wife was beautiful.
- And mine wasn't ?
- What about mine ?
- l don't know.
- l haven't seen them.
- A splendid daughter...
A perfect family.
But after the birth of our daughter,
my wife su_ered from depression.
And you got a lover,
so you're a bastard like us mo.
Like you, l didn't have a lover.
What do you know ?
Let me finish _
l didn't recognise her anymore,
she wasn't the woman l married.
She wouldn't talk to me,
we hadn't made love for months...
lt's normal that you go for a woman
in the same situation.
We didn't even do anything,
but go tell my wife that _
- She threw me out of the house.
- What did you expect ?
- And l lost my job too.
- Why was that ?
A small detail:
my lover was my bosi wife.
- ms she hot ?
- Come on _
- What's that got to do with it ?
- l was a top writer.
- More like a top lover _
- Enough _
Stop it, you're obsessed _
l was a respected critic
and l was demoted to a reporter.
- In whatway ?
- Showbiz news.
Who goes to parties, who's had
plastic surgery, who's cheated...
Anyway, in my opinion,
we've had a fantastic evening.
Don't you think ?
We're getting o_ to a great start _
l'm going to shower then go out.
- Has it been a fantastic evening ?
- It's been a terrible evening.
Where's he going at this time ?
The fact that he got arrested
gives me the creeps...
Fulvio, there's something
sinister here.
You're so beautiful, my darling.
l like your hair,
you should keep it like that.
- It's alv_ays been li_,e this,,,
- How l wish you were here _
Dad, stop it now, you always
treat me like l'm a dumb child.
Vou're not Uumb.
but you are a chil_,
By the v_ay. daddy's success
of the day,
_oo_,v_hat l sold on Ebay
_or 400 euros,
- It's ultra rare.
- Who is it ?
The mlker Brothers,
a bootleg copy of a Japanese concert.
Tell that witch mother of yours
l'll pay her tomorrow
and to get o_ my back _
Nov_ close your eyes.
l have a surprise for y_u,
- A surprise ?
- Close your eyes.
You can open them now.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear daddy
Happy birthday to you

Yes, l forgot.

Excuse me, do you live here

- l____,lothing, it's all natural.
lt's all testosterone, my darling.
He'll be on a viewing
or he's left his phone at work.
What a drag _
Domenico ?
Ulisse, the delicatessen was closed...
- Sorry.
- l____,lo, come in.
This is Marika, Domenico's daughter.
She's waiting for her dad.
- Hi, l'm Fulvio.
- Hi.
Did you have accident,
or did someone hit you ?
You're reading from the same script ?
- l said the same thing.
- Sure, look at her...
l dropped my orange.
Marika, would you mind...
l'll try calling Domenico again.
l can't look at him up there
at the window, it's scary.
- That's how you make calls ?
- The reception's bad...
Such lovely skin _
Sorry, l must answer.

- It's the subway, another problem.
Why don't you leave this house ?
You were great as usual.
lt takes mo to tango.
Even if this time l sailed through...
l wanted to tell you that last time
it was 50 euros short.

- Positive, but it's okay.

Give it to me next time...

He's boiling.
- His pulse is fast.
- Here.
lt's saved as ''emergency cardio''.
- What's wrong ?
- It's happened before...
Let's lie down, slowly.
''Emergency cardio''...
Gloria, it's useless.
We're incompatible.
You're telling me were incompatible
after three years ?
What does that mean ?
The truth is you've never liked me.
- l____,lo...
- l'm not good enough for you..
You don't like the way l dress,
the shoes l wear...
the heels aren't right,
my hair's not right, nothing's right _
Don't be like this, come on.
ls it really over ?
- Really ?
- Yes.
Gloria, l repeat,
we're incompatible.
- We're incompatible.
- Get out _
lt's been over for months _
Close the door _
Bastard...
- Hello ?
- There's a sick person.
- Domenico Segato.
- Yes.
- We're in Via Sesto...
- Via Resto... ?

- Sesto ?
Sesto Trinacrio 322.
Trina... Tango, Romeo, India...
l____,lovember...
Good evening.
- Is Domenico Segati here ?
- Segato, yes.
- l'm the cardiologist.
- Come in.
Sorry l took so long, but
the sat nav couldn't find it.
l didn't knowwhether to put
Sesto or Trinacrio...
- Thisway ?
- l___,,lo, thatway.
- l'll just get undressed.
- What ?
- The doctor's here.
- Good evening.
Sorry l'm late.
Where is it ?
- Here.
- These might be better.
Sorry, l picked up my headphones.
l don't feel so good,
l've had a rough day.
- So what happened ?
- He had a funny turn.
His heart was beating fast,
he was red, boiling hot...
When you felt ill,
did you feel a pain in your head,
or your chest, like a visceral pain ?
- l____,lo.
- Good, that excludes a heart attack.
Sorry, would you have
a glass of mineral water ?
l___,,lo, only tap water.
l____,lo, it's got too much calcium.
l have terrible gall stones.
- Listen, he's the patient.
- Okay.
- Oh God, it's an earthquake _
- l___,,lo, it's the subway.
- It's the one rushing to the depot.
- It could give you a heart attack.
Well...
80 over 30.
- You su_er from hypotension ?
- l___,,lo, not usually.
Tell me the truth, what did you take ?
Help me.
- What did you take ?
- He smokes a lot.
What is it ?
Viagra _
How much did you take ?
Three 50mg tablets ?
- Four ?
- Cash for Viagra, but not food, huh ?
l thought the redness was unusual,
l knew there must be a reason.
lt's a problem with... what's it called ?
- _sodilatation.
- Yes, sorry.
Thanks, you're right.
Shall we check your heart ?
- Let's buy some mineral water.
- He said he'd buy it.
Do you think she knows
what she's doing ?
She looks like she's been crying,
her make-up has run...
She tried listening to his heart
with her MP3 headphones _
- Can l have a word ?
- Yes.
l'll just say one thing,
it was my father's.
What was ?
Will you buy it o_ me ?
l have one, and l have no cash.
Could you sell it for me,
it could have belonged to...
- To who ?
- Frank Zappa _
You think he wore a self-winding watch
with a calf-skin strap ?
Why, what did he wear ?
He played naked,
he didn't wear a shirt _
lt's crocodile skin, anyway.
Fulvio, let's not confuse junk
with vintage, which is serious.
Don't you dare, this watch
belonged to my father.
Yes, but not to Frank Zappa.
That's nonsense.
He had a serious hypotension seizure.
With what he took he should
go to the hospital.
l've written it all down,
he should have an ECG.
- l didn't get that, sorry.
- An ECG.
Are you his friends ?
Let's say we live together.
Tell him not to take those things,
they're bad for him.
These are private matters,
we hardly know each other.
That's right, we hardly know
each other _
- We chose the wrong house...
- Why tell her ?
The wrong house, the wrong housemates,
we're incompatible _
Why the outburst now ?
He's not angry with you _
Are you okay ?
Don't you feel well ?
Let me sit down.
Got any tranquillizers ?
Tell me you have.
- l____,lo, we're all out.
- Dammit _
Some sugar then ?
- Just a spoonful, or a cube ?
- We've got that.
- l feel faint.
- l'll see what l can find.
Can you get my bag, too ?
lt's been a really tough evening.
When your friend said the word
''incompatible'', l felt faint.
lt's the exact same word that idiot
used a few hours ago.
Who's the ''idiot'' ?
- Your husband.
- l___,,lo, a guy l was with for three years.
Tonight he left me,
saying we're incompatible...
Don't say that word.
But these things happen in life.
- Has it happened to you too ?
- Of course...
Yes, a long time ago.
lt happened to me mo hours ago,
it's not the same _
Don't shout, we'll wake everyone.
Sorry.
l wouldn't worry about it.
Things always work out in the end.
- 100 euros.
- What ?
- For the visit.
- Of course, l see.
- Is the invoice name Segati ?
- Segato, Domenico Segato.
The number we called you from.
l don't know his VA_ number.
l'm 20 euros short.
l could ask him, but...
That's okay, you've been so kind,
thanks.
Thank you.
So we don't need to worry
about Domenico ?
He should have an ECG and take
the stu_ l've prescribed.
But we don't want to worry
about you either.
Try to stay calm about it
because incompatibility...
l____,lo, l meant ''di_iculties''.
Di_iculties can be overcome.
Destiny always find the right way.
- l feel better.
- Thanks for your expertise.
Goodbye.
Hov_ old are you. 12 ?
You can't ring my door_ell at 2 am !

Who the hell is it
at this time of night ?
This is the last night
l'll attempt to sleep here _
- Sorry, Fulvio.
- Yes, sorry...
lt's the cardiologist. sorry,
Did l leave my cell pho_e behind ?
Yes, l'll bring it down.
Hey _
- Here, someone called you.
- A guy ?
- Yes.
- What did he say ?
He said you can't behave like that
and that you need to control yourself.
Tell me the exact words he said.
He said that you're sick,
that you need help
and that a sick person
cannot help the sick.
He said that ?
He said a sick person
cannot help the sick.
- A sick person ?
- You _ You're sick, okay ?
- Hug me.
- Hug you ?
Oh God, l feel faint.
Let me sit down.

Look how many stars.
But it's so cloudy.

You're right.
Sorry, but l feel so strange...

l can see stars too now _
What happened with your wife ?
Are you still friends ?
So, so, not really,
but l get on well with my daughter.
l don't see her often because
she lives in Paris but we talk.
- She's a great girl.
- Paris is lovely...
lt is _
Have you always had
a passion for music ?
Yes, but it's more than a passion.
When l was a record producer,
it was great...
Music was di_erent.
- It was something else.
- There's music now too.
Yes, but it's not the same.
You're the classic type who thinks
the old days were the best _
l'd like to point out that good things
happen now too.
Lucky you, you're such an optimist.
Boo to you, you're stuck in the past _
- Is that yours vibrating ?
- Mine ?
- l'm in my pyjamas, it must be yours.
- Oh God _
lt's him _
Was that you calling my house phone
ten minutes ago ?
You even call _ at ho_ !,
You're a psychopath !
l don't know your
home phone number _
Try to remember what damn whore
you gave it too _
For three years, you've messed me
around... and deceived me _
lncompatible ?
l____,lot that word again _
- Here we are. This is Gaia.
- Hi, sorry l'm late.

You're dead _
Assholes _
You're a pair of assholes.

apartment and open a drawer.

You entered the only flat

Did they recognise us ?
Luckily the old lady thought

The analysis l have done
for my thesis
has led me to think
that to rea_irm the principles
of ethical behaviour in the State
it's absolutely necessary
and fundamental
to re-educate people in order
to transform them into real citizens
notjust sad consumers.
Very good, Mr Segato.
That'll do.
You may take a seat.
Francesco, daddy's little boy _
Did you see me there ?
Yes, l did.

Hi.
Hi.
As you've honoured us with your
presence, make yourself useful.
Have you made her see sense ?
Don't start using that tone.
Dad's come from Rome especially.
Your mom is quite rightly
expressing her concern.
- At your age, a 1T...
- That's right.
She mustn't make the same mistake
l made because of you.
- So l'm a mistake ?
- Come on, you knowwhat l mean.
- You're saying l'm a mistake ?
- She didn't mean it that way.
- l'm a mistake _
- You're not.
Agnese...
Why do you still use
the word ''mistake'' with Agnese ?
''Still'' ?
Look what l'm doing,
singing to pensioners _
A record at 18 and a career
ruined by a pregnancy.
- You know how good l was.
- You were fucking crap _
Your career didn't end
because of me or Agnese,
it ended because
you were a crap singer.
You were conceited.
My career was a disaster
because l produced your record,
because l was madly in love,
unlike you,
and l didn't realise
you were a mediocre singer.
You were a mediocre singer,
understood ?
- Excuse me, here.
- Thanks, how kind of you.
Guillaume, listen to me.
Look at me.

is about to happen to you,

more than me.

And then ?
Then it never happened again.
So l'm telling you it's a wonderful.
Do you understand ?

Bemeen us, okay ?
Let's go, we'll join them for dinner.
- Me too ?

v_ill vanish
