Sorry, it's me.

I'm sorry for the voice message but... I don't want to cause a car accident.

I'm sorry, I know you hate voice messages, but...

I can't text right now. I need to...

No...

Hello, it's me. No. No... Here I am, it's me.

Forgive me for sending you a voice message.

I know you hate them but... I don't want to cause an accident.

I don't want to text.

So... I had to go to...

-Oh my God. -Are you crazy?

-I'm sorry. -Don't you see the crosswalk?

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. -How the fuck do you drive?

-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Are you okay? -You could have killed me.

-I'm sorry, forgive me. -"Sorry" my ass.

I'm sorry.

Goodbye!

-Hi, Mom! -I apologize, professor.

Apologize to your daughter. She's been waiting you for 20 minutes.

-Right, Gloria? -Yes.

-I'm sorry, love. -It doesn't matter, Mom.

"It doesn't matter" today, "it doesn't matter" tomorrow...

There was a miscommunication between me and her dad.

Well, you miscommunicate often.

-That's why you broke up. -I ran straight from work, I'm sorry.

I wanted to run straight from work 20 minutes ago.

-I'm sorry. -Goodbye.

-Bye. -Goodbye.

-I'm really sorry! -Okay, okay.

-Are we going to get an ice cream? -We can't now, love.

-Where the fuck are you? -I was about to send you a voice message.

Do you know where you can stick your voice message, Marcella?

You're right, Luca. Let me explain.

No, no, no, no. Can I explain something to you?

-Yes, sure, Luca. Tell me. -You're fired, you twat!

-Hello? -Mom?

Not now.

I went to pick up your granddaughter at school, Luca.

I don't give a fuck about my granddaughter!

Hello, Grandpa.

Your son asked me to pick her up, Luca. Your son.

-Who pays your salary? Me or my son? -You, Luca. You do.

Mom?

-Gloria, love, your mom is fired. -Wait a second, Luca. Please!

Mom.

Gloria, this is not the moment to get an ice cream!

Mom!

THE ACCIDENT

Separation, huh?

I've been there. Luckily, I didn't have kids.

Anyway, they get used to it.

Two TVs, two houses, two vacations, two ice creams...

It's not so bad after all, is it?

Maria.

-Marcella. -What?

Now, let's talk about nice things. Today is your lucky day.

For two reasons. First, because you didn't get hurt.

-Right? -Right.

And the second reason? Guess the second reason.

I don't know.

The second reason is that you've met me.

Maria, what if I were to tell you that

I'll load the car and take care of everything,

insurance, lawyers, repairs? Zero stress. I'll take care of everything.

-Do you make good money with your job? -Why?

They fired me.

-Maria... -Marcella.

Maria.

You can do whatever you want in life. Heroin, cocaine, crack...

There's only one thing that someone with your character

must avoid at all costs, unless you want to ruin your life.

Getting married?

Tow truck.

Don't buy one.

Ever.

-Repeat after me. "It doesn't hurt." -"It doesn't hurt."

Again, come on.

"It doesn't hurt".

-But why? -It's an experiment.

An experiment?

If you convince your brain that the pain doesn't exist,

the energy caused by my hand dissolves in the air and that pain never existed.

I just wanted to buy a tow truck.

-You're a sweetheart. What's your name? -Marcella.

Marcella, Marcella, the tow truck doesn't exist.

No.

What does exist is only the truck and the flatbed.

-Are you following me? -Yes.

The trucks are...

Ford Transit, Iveco Daily, Renault Master, Mercedes Sprinter.

-Which one do you want? -Which one is the best?

The Renault Master has the best quality-price ratio.

-That one, then. The Renault Master. -But I can only give you the one.

A 1983 Iveco Daily.

-Is it good? -This is a great truck.

Excuse me for a second.

Hello? Yes, for your husband, I remember.

Send me a picture.

Even in a costume, no face.

But if I don't see him, how can I say yes? What if he's a monster?

I'm not saying he's a monster, I'm just saying he could be one.

What? A photo of me?

Look, I'm working. I've got no time to spare.

Sorry, it's the same every time.

So? How much are you willing to spend?

-How much is it? -How much have you got?

I would like to ask for a loan, if possible.

I see. You don't have a penny.

-I'm sorry. -Okay, Marcella.

-We're going to try something else. -Do we have to?

It's very simple. I will do you no harm. Look carefully at my face.

Study every single detail of my face.

As if your entire life depended on your memory of it.

-Are you doing it? -Yes.

Close your eyes.

Are you clearly seeing my face even with your eyes closed?

-Yes. -Nose, mouth, eyes, ears?

Now that you see my face even with your eyes closed, tell me.

-Do I look like a prick? -No. No, no, no, I don't know.

-I'm not a prick. -I can pay you in cash every single week.

A thousand euros every Monday?

-For how many weeks? -Fifteen.

-Fifteen? Fifteen thousand euros? -Congratulations.

Now you have a great 1983 Iveco Daily!

You are a good person, Marcella.

Yes, sorry, my car broke down.

I can't make it to dinner, I'm sorry.

-I'll load this car, okay? Go away. -I'm sorry.

I already have insurance, thanks.

Do you need help?

If you need help, I can load your car.

-If... If you want I can... -Come on, enough, go away!

-Get out of the way, I'm already here. -Of course.

You're too nice for a job like this.

You have a gentle soul, a childlike soul.

-Thanks. -You are just a little girl.

Anyway, we already have our own mechanic.

Would you to come live with us?

My husband always wanted a little baby girl.

Madame, I'm 35 years old.

I told you so, Maria.

You can't compete with them. This world is full of sharks.

You have to come up with something that matches your character.

You have to get to it before everyone else.

Use your head.

I'll try.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

Maria...

watch out though.

Don't you ever think of following an ambulance.

It pisses them off.

Don't worry. I'm fine, thank you.

Do you know what really pisses me off?

Traffic?

It pisses me off that we have the same name.

Is your name Marcella as well?

They call us "rescuers," they call you "rescuers."

We have the same name.

Well, anyway, my name is Marcella. Nice to meet you!

Does it look like we're doing the same job?

Does it look like we're driving the same truck?

Mine is a 1983 Iveco Daily.

On the streets, I've seen a lot of despicable things.

But following an ambulance hoping to find an accident...

that's definitely the worst I've seen.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Find your clients in some other way!

-Can you please say that again? -What?

-That thing about car accidents. -I give 50 euros if you spot an accident.

-I'm interested, can I have a flyer? -Sure.

Here it says, "Fifty euros if you spot an accident."

-Only if I load the car. -Can I have another flyer?

Sure.

Do you think it's fair to your colleagues?

Why not?

They could consider it unfair competition.

I don't want to bother anyone.

-Are you rescuers too? -No.

-Can I have another flyer? -Sure.

We're just curious.

Do you have experience?

I know a lot of rescuers, but I don't think I've ever seen you.

Today is my first day.

It would be sad if it was to be your last one too.

I'd be sad too, I just bought a 1983 Iveco Daily.

-Hello? -Is it someone who spotted an accident?

Sure, where are you?

I suggest you don't take the job. For your own good.

I'm coming!

It's been a real pleasure to meet you.

A bad ending would make me very sad.

Thanks.

-Is it you who saw the accident? -Yes, it's right there.

Thank you!

-And my fifty euros? -Only if I load the car.

-What a scam! -I'm sorry, it's written on the flyer.

Do you need help?

Car won't start, huh?

I can help you if you want!

Do you want your fucked up car to be loaded or what?

Sure.

It's been a real pleasure doing business with you.

-Thank you. -Call me if you see any more accidents.

I'd be very sad if your tow truck were to catch fire.

Things are going well.

One of these days I would like to pick up Gloria from school,

and take her for an ice cream.

Hello?

-Your husband? -I must have lost service.

-Do you have a photo? -Anyway, things are going very well.

I told you so. This is a great truck.

-Have you got the thousand? -No.

-I've brought you two thousand. -Gosh.

And how did you do it?

I give 50 euros to anyone who spots an accident.

Everyone's calling me.

It's strange that they haven't burned down your tow truck yet.

But why should they burn down my tow truck?

We're in Italy, it's a civilized country.

It's not that bad.

-It's a 1983 Iveco Daily. -You say it's not worth a lot?

-Three hundred, tops? -Probably.

They should pay you to take this.

It's less expensive than the transfer of ownership.

It's better if you scrap it.

A 15,000 euro Iveco Daily, up in smoke.

I already gave you 2,000, didn't I?

Yes, but you still owe me 13.

-Can I have another tow truck? -Yes, if you give me your car in return.

-My car is worth 20,000 euros! -That was before the accident.

Marcella, you crashed into a bus. Your car now is damaged.

I'll do you a favor. I'll take your car and give you a new tow truck.

Plus 7,000.

-20,000 in total? -Congratulations.

Now you own a 1987 Iveco Daily.

Yes, it's me.

Sure, I still give 50 euros if you spot an accident.

Yes, someone burned down my tow truck, how do you know?

Yes, I bought another one.

Have you seen an accident?

I'm nearby. I'm on my way.

What a coincidence.

You're here too.

Where's the accident?

Give Bruna your device, please.

-Which device? -Your phone.

That was my phone.

You have to stop receiving calls from people who see accidents.

-Why? -Because it's bothering us.

Couldn't you have said that before?

We've been live streaming for seven hours!

A real jester never gets tired. I'm almost there, I need a minute.

If you don't make it in a minute, we leave.

You're not going anywhere until you hack the traffic light.

-They've made a donation. -I'm almost there.

You are two losers. We're calling the police.

Relax, Magenta's the best. Give her a second.

And be quiet because there's someone sleeping here.

Knock on the glass and ask her if you can lick her feet.

That's not appropriate, poor thing.

She can't hear.

Knock louder, jester.

Excuse me, can I lick your feet?

Ask her if her feet are nice.

What?

Ask her if she's a loser.

Actually, things are going really well.

She is clearly a loser.

We are live streaming, do you want to say hi?

-To who? -I did it!

I just have to point it at the traffic light.

It goes red when you press green, and green when you press red.

Couldn't you make it turn green when you press the green button,

and red when you press the red button?

Green button...

-Cool! -We called the police.

And red button.

-And green button. -It works!

You better run.

-It's not really the cops, right? -Of course not.

Don't you understand they're fucking around with you?

If you follow us, I'll kill you!

Cool.

Who's going to talk to my boss?

Will I tell him? Or will this idiot?

I don't understand, the traffic light was green!

Do you even realize the mess you've made?

Sir, please, let's calm down. Would you? Just calm down.

Calm down? Calm down? How will I get to work?

Madame?

Madame?

Do you need help?

Hello, it's me.

I don't have a phone anymore.

No, this is not my new number. They just handed me a phone.

Why? Your father hasn't found a replacement yet?

No, no.

Actually, things are going very well.

I have a tow truck now.

A tow truck, yes. What's so funny about that?

Look, I know we said she's going to spend a month with you,

but can I pick Gloria up from school tomorrow?

Robi, it was just an accident. It can happen to anyone.

It won't happen again.

All I want to do is take Gloria for an ice cream.

She asked me to!

What if I bring ice cream to school and we eat them there?

Yes. On the tow truck. She's gonna love it.

Hello?

Hello?

-Sorry for the trouble, thank you. -Disconnected?

-I think I lost service. -Yes. There's a bad phone reception here.

Good morning. I would like to buy two ice creams.

-Three ice creams? -Actually, I want two.

Three.

-Three ice creams is just fine. -Six euros.

Do you also have a cooler bag with some ice cubes?

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

-Good morning, professor. -Goodbye.

-Sorry to bother you. -Yes.

Has Gloria left already?

She left with your husband's girlfriend Camilla,

she came early.

But we agreed that I should pick her up.

I'm very sorry.

-But I got ice cream. -I'm sorry.

But they're going to melt.

And what the fuck do I care?

Twenty-five hundred.

-Everyone is saying you've made it. -Twenty-six hundred.

We can't figure out how you're always the first one to arrive.

Twenty-seven hundred.

Are you still doing that phone trick?

Twenty-eight hundred.

The say you're not answering the phone anymore.

Twenty-nine hundred.

We can't figure out how you always arrive before the police and the ambulances.

-And that's 3,000. -What are you hiding?

Nothing.

Things are just going very well.

Can I borrow your phone? I have to call my boss.

-I don't have it. I'm sorry. -Yes, sure, right.

What are you hiding there?

-Nothing. -You think I'm a thief?

-Is that what you're thinking? -No, no. I'm sorry.

You think I want to steal your phone?

Just because I live on the streets, you think I'm a thief?

No, no. I live on the streets as well.

-Do I scare you? -No.

The horn is the mirror of the soul!

Call an ambulance.

Is it your first major car crash?

You never get used to it.

This is the worst part of our job.

The moment you stop thinking about the money

and you start hoping that no one dies.

Then you think about money again.

Thank you for calling.

Will he be okay?

You can follow us if you care so much.

And the cars?

-You can load them. -Maria.

You're a good person.

Thank you.

Hey. This is my workplace, not a parking lot.

I'm sorry. I'm waiting for news on a patient.

Can't you wait somewhere else?

Don't you have a phone?

-Do you sell flowers? -No, I eat them.

Which kind of flower would you give to someone who's sick?

Lilies or tulips. They represent strength and hope.

The strength to tolerate you and the hope you get the fuck out of here.

-I'll take the tulips. -Oh, really? It's ten euros.

Giving flowers is always an act of kindness.

I hope the person you know gets well soon.

-Thank you. -And now get the fuck out of here.

Excuse me. Are you the one who called the ambulance?

-Yes. -I'm his mother.

Thank you for what you did.

It's my job.

Dear Marcella!

I have a question for you.

What day was it yesterday?

Monday.

And what happens every Monday?

A new week begins?

Let me introduce you to a couple of friends.

Don't throw it away! Are you crazy? Give it to me.

Repeat after me.

"Things are going very well."

Why?

Repeat after me. "Things are going very well."

"Things are going well."

"Things are going very well."

-"Things are going very well." -Louder!

"Things are going very well!"

Glad to hear that.

See you tomorrow.

Mom!

Do you want an ice cream?

Yes.

-Robi, do you want an ice cream? -No, thanks.

Okay, give it to me.

Mom?

Yes, love?

This ice cream sucks.
