Answer.

A tight pussy doesn't please customers.

Undress.

Everybody take off your clothes!

Hurry up!

Come on, take off your clothes!

Quickly, hurry up!

You are really slow.

Get your hands off!

What is your name?

Xiao Xin.

Brothel.

Take your hands down.
I told you to put your hands down.

Name?

I asked you what your name was!

We found some wet clothes!

Massage.

Get your hands off! They're dirty and smelly!

Didn't I tell you to undress?

Where is Yun?

- Undress!
- I asked you where Yun is.

Never heard of it, don't know her!
Take off your clothes!

Where is it?

Undress her!

Take off your clothes!

Quick! Take off your clothes!

Where is Yun?

Where is Yun?

No, no, no, no...

Are you going to tell me or not? Speak up!

- It's upstairs.
- Quick, let's go!

There is someone underneath!

- Downstairs!
- Quick, let's go downstairs!

(MOANS OF PLEASURE)

Holy shit! Who are you? Go away!

Yun.

Yun?

Where is Yun?

Yun is not here.

If you are looking for your sister.

(INAUDIBLE)

Now go.

Go.

Grab her! Don't let her get away!

- Where is it?
- That way!

Oh, goddamn it, what the fuck are you doing?

But how the fuck do you attract...

- Damn you!
- And your grandfather!

- Why did you stop?!
- I was just parking it!

Get this tricycle out, get out of the way!

# The square is empty,
the guards are nowhere to be seen #

Twenty-five or twenty.

Are you alone? Come.

Stand here, sit down.

Sit down. I'll be right there.

Oh, Fu..

One box,
four meters by two and a half meters.

Water? Just a little?

All right, I'll do it.

Which table was it?

What's going on?
(SPEAKING IN ENGLISH)

No, but.

- (in English) The bill is too high.
- May be I was wrong....

- We're not paying this bill.
- It's the bill for table 7.

(Lorena) Wait a minute, I don't understand anything.

(Marcello) I can't believe it,
a spaghetti cacio e pepe,

a rigatone alla carbonara,
a bucatino all'amatriciana

And a penne all'arrabbiata,
four different pastas, how do you do it?

Very easy,
you make spaghetti first, then bucatini,

then rigatoni and lastly penne.

Santi, I'm having a shitty day.

Lino, it's been 50 years
you've been in this business,

..how do you accept an order like that?

-Listen, master...
- Don't call me master.

- Two chicories.
- Coming right up.

You have to come that way, there are two British ...

- No, I don't take pictures.
- I don't feel like they want to take pictures.

There is a problem with the bill.

- They talk to my mother.
- And that's the problem.

They speak English.

- Santi, come with me.
- Coming.

It is a Chardonnay,
not a Dom Pérignon!

It is more than a thousand euros!

What's going on?

- There is a problem with the bill.
- And it's too high.

You should be ashamed!

- Mom, 1,400 euros?
- I was wrong!

- It is a mistake, we apologize.
- Tell them it was a mistake.

- Is this a mistake or are you trying to steal?
- You wanted to rip us off. Call the police.

- No wait, that's not necessary!
- Mistake...

- What does it say?
- That we tried to fool...

- He wants to sue us.
- Are you kidding me?

- Everybody calm down, look at this. Is this okay?
- See?

- It was an error. It's solved.
- What are you saying?

You are our guests, okay? We apologize.

He's crying...

- Please don't cry!
- It is nothing.

What did they say?

- Not to cry.
- But who is crying?

Dad, where the fuck are you? No, no!

No...

Fuck you.

Fuc... No, you can't stay here!
I don't take photos! Get out!

(SPEAKS IN CHINESE)

Alfredo is not here.

(CHINESE VOICE FROM CELL PHONE)

Oh, can't you hear us? It's not working!

How dare you?
Go fuck yourself.

Fuck off, translate this.

What, are you crazy?

Ow! Ow! I don't know where it is!

I don't know where it is!

He disappeared with a Chinese whore!

It's the truth, he disappeared with a Chinese
prostitute, I don't know where he is!

It is the truth!

It is the truth... It is the truth...

I can't take it anymore...

Marcello. Are you all right?

No.

I'm sick.

Hey.

"Hey what? is that it?

What are you fucking with us?

Are you pocketing the big bills
and leaving us the small change?

- Big pieces?
- The 2, 5, 10 euros.

That's pathetic.

No one has mercy.

Malik...

If you keep this up, how are you going to pay me?

- I do what I can.
- Ah. "I do what I can."

Ah, yes. "I gave it my all."

- Who wrote this crap?
- A friend.

Fucking friend.
Because it doesn't work. Do you understand?

- Make sure you give me my money back.
- Give me a job.

You want a job too?

I gave you a roof,
gave you credit, even a job?

What the fuck do you take me for, Malik?

See if you can get this money.
If not, I'll beat you to a pulp.

I won't tell you anymore.

Go home.

Let's see who else
we have to kick ass today.

Call the Pakistanis, tell them to go
get umbrellas that it's going to rain tomorrow.

Annibale...

- My dear.
- Chip and Dale, not here.

- What did you do to your face?
- Nothing.

A Chinese woman beat me up.

- Come on, seriously, what happened?
- I'm not proud, but it did.

A Chinese woman came, she wanted to know
where Dad is, and since I don't know.

Are you serious?

- How come he was looking for Alfredo?
- I don't know.

- Did you get beaten up by a female?
- Yeah.

If she can beat me,
she'll beat you too.

Did you understand what he said?
He's going to beat you, too.

I have told you a hundred times,
I don't want Chip and Dale here.

These pieces of shit.

They allowed themselves
to come in here to my house.

Annibale...

- Huh?
- But you dad's debts...

He paid them.

He paid for everything.

But now I'm going to
sort out those fucking Chinese.

Come on, Chip and Dale.

Hi, Marcellino.

- (Cip) Boss?
- (Annibale) Huh?

Is Bruce Lee eating here?

What the fuck are you talking about?
That guy died 50 years ago, so how could he be eating here?

What the hell are you thinking?
Can't you see it's photoshopped?

It's all fake here.

All fake.
They are fake on the inside.

Even the building is fake, do you see that?
Look at that.

Can something like that be true?
All fake.

Look at that asshole's
leather jacket

Fake dead dog skin.

They pass this stuff off
as Italian, the cheaters.

Oh, can you tell how long it takes?

- Annibale.
-Annibal, yes.

See how they laugh in the front? Then in the back...

(SPEAKS IN CHINESE)

He asks if he came to eat well.

Hey, nice hair,
stop being funny.

And stop doing this act
Because I know very well that you understand me.

What the fuck do you want from Marcello?

A...

One of you came to the restaurant,
looking for Alfredo.

He "tried" to beat up Marcello.

So?

- He didn't send anyone.
- And sure enough.

Then a Chinese woman comes to the restaurant
and asks for Alfredo.

It has your signature on it, Wang.

We have all paid our debts,
what the fuck do you still want?

Annibale...

For the last time,
he sent no one.

"For the last time?"
Then let's do a good thing.

We find the girl.

And if it turns out
that it was you who sent it....

I'm going to kill you.

I give you a gift.

Go get the CD.

Nice cockface, who is he?

His son Maggio. Bravissimo.

- Melo I guess.
- He sings in Italian.

Exactly.

Wang, stay in Italy.

You have to speak Italian.

Wasn't it better to tell him
that the girl was also here?

(SONG: "WHO CARES" FROM Maggio)

# I have a wealth of promise to engrave

# I thank those who made me not waste
anything at all in the bowels

# Eyes open, watchful gaze,
health, good friends,

* Vivid things to live for, or it all falls on me.

It all falls on me!

# I aim at my limit to stay transparent

# In a circus of judgments
that does not serve

# I am father son
And filter of my experiences #

It comes down to me.

(Lorena) # You never had

# And Maybe you'll pretend

# Of not knowing my name

# Maybe you'll talk

# Calling me by her name

# At most

(SONG: "TUTT'AL PIÙ" BY PATTY PRAVO)

# You'll ask me how many guys I've had #

# Forgetting #

Fuck you.

# Yet you know well

# That a girl like me

# He doesn't mess with love
(TONFI)

# He never joked

# At most

# You will offend me

# And you'll kick me out

# Telling me that by now
no, you don't care anymore

# A girl who only served

# To have some fun

# And then I'll leave

# And you'll chase me

# Asking me for forgiveness

# And you will caress me

# You will remember my name

I wish it were true.

Mom, this music makes you cry
Even when you're happy.

- What did you do to your face?
- Nothing, I slammed.

Mom.

- Huh?
- What are you doing?

Cleaning.

I am sure that Father will come back.
One moment after 30 years it can happen.

That's 34 years, Marcello.

And that jerk at age 65
goes to fall in love again?

- As if my head
was never turned. - To you?

To me, to me.

- Do you think it can't happen to women?
- No. - So what?

But who?

The American. Do you remember him?
The tall, handsome, blond one.

With that jaw
that looked like Robert Redford.

You remember 0 no? Beautiful.

That would come to the restaurant,
he would leave a $100 tip.

He wanted to take me to Texas,
to marry me, Marcello.

By then I would have had oil wells.

Instead of standing here crying
over that "loser" of a father of yours.

- What about the Russian?
- The Russian?

Do you remember him? The director.
You didn't notice that either.

- Even the director?
- He was good, he wanted to take me to Hollywood.

He wanted to make me
an international star. Do you know why?

He said that someone with a face like mine
Behind the crate didn't belong there.

He was right!

I, on the other hand, have been "tongue-tied" to stay
back there, listening to your father.

500 ties.

Can you explain to me a man
what the fuck is he supposed to do with 500 ties?

Aren't you going to say anything?

No, I was thinking.

To what?

But how is it
that I never noticed anything?

You were staying in the kitchen.

- 30 years is a long time for everyone.
- Hello, Marcello.

-Hello.
-Hello, Élise.

If one has made certain choices
And has a family,

Some doors should not be opened.

This is the fault of your father,
Who left the door open.

If you leave it open,
sooner or later someone will slip in.

- Hello, Marcello.
- Hello, Manuel.

But until he gets over it
you can't stay like that.

- Hello, Marcello. Hello, Lorena.
- Hello, Sayid.

Go out on a date,
see a friend of yours.

Marzia? How long has it been since you've seen her?

- But Marzia has been dead for two years!
- Is that so?

I guess you've gone off the deep end.

Whatever, take a vacation,
go on a cruise.

With what money? He went away
And left us without a penny.

Don't make me scream
I'm already so ashamed. But

Mustafa.

Here, a gift for you.

- Why?
- Because I like you very much.

Thank you, Lorena.

When he comes back, this is the thing
that will hurt your father the most.

Hi, Marcello.

Hello.

- (Lino) A bill on 12.
- (Lorena) Leave it there.

Can you help me take these dishes away?
Put them in the kitchen.

- Lorena.
- Oh.

I was looking at you.

- I was thinking you look good.
- oh, Fantastic.

You know. fatality,
that it came back to me?

The Prophet. Remember The Prophet?

Yes, 500 years ago.

That you then remember
That you and I used to go there....

Secretly, you and I alone.

- Yes.
- That I used to sing songs to you.

I remember.

We were as beautiful as beautiful
only kids in love.

Lorena.

The food was terrible, though.

Annibale, are you trying?

No, like trying? No, but do you think so?

- No, Lorena.
- Too bad.

Ah...

Oh, yeah?

If so,
then one of these days you and I ...

No, shush, good, for goodness sake,

don't make me nervous
or I'll make a mess with the math again.

Come on, Santi,
another shitty day is over.

For you.

However, I want you to know one thing.

I want you to know that whatever...

Lorena, anything,
I'm in, I'm here, you can count on me.

I know.

Thank you.

- Mom.
- Oh?

- Everything all right?
- Eh, a wonder.

Look how much we made, 380 euros.
You see? I can do the math

Marcellino, come here for a moment.
Sorry, Lorena.

What?

You have to get to
the bottom of this,

To this Chinese woman who beat you up.

That was my problem.
Look, so I did the math.

So, 500 euros a month
Ii manage to put aside.

So in six or seven years
I gave everything back to you.

Oh, yeah? What about inflation?

Just kidding, let's do one thing.

So, when you feel more comfortable
you give me something back, okay?

If you feel comfortable.
You are family, I already told you.

Enough with this shit.

Oh, there is only one problem here. The Chinese.

If you let something like that slide, next it'll be

tomorrow it'll be Chinese, Africans, Mongolians
- you'll find them in your bedroom.

Do you understand what we have been reduced to?

- Annibale, what should I tell you?
- But what "Annibale"?

Marcello, this is a war,
you fight for every inch.

Like the comic strip,
what the fuck is the name of that comic book

Where there are Gauls with the village
resisting against the invader

With the magic potion?

- Asterix and Obelix.
- Bravo, them.

Here, we are that village.

But who's we?

We Italians, we of Rome.

What's gotten into your head that Chinese woman?

This place here is that village.

And inside our house you don't enter.

But weren't the bad guys there the Romans?

You think so? Whatever, now don't fixate
with this crap.

Look, do me a favor,
describe the Chinese woman to Chip and Dale.

Describe it to her, come on.

-He had slanted eyes.
- Again? Are you being an asshole as well?

- Don't joke, this is serious!
- How do I describe a Chinese woman to you?

How do you want to describe it?

She was tall, short, thin, fat,
short hair, long hair, distinctive markings,

How the fuck was she dressed?

She was a bitch, incredibly
strong and merciless.

Otherwise it was a Chinese one,
there are 100,000 of them here, like.

You.

- She who?
- Oh!

- And her.
- What do you mean "it's her"? - It's her!

- Are you sure? - Yes.
- Go, come on!

What do you have to do to her?

Nothing, I want to see if beautiful hair
Said bullshit, don't worry.

Oh, come here, I just want to talk to you.
I'm not going to butcher you.

Stop.

Hey, come here, I tell you what.
I'm not going to do anything to you, come.

Oh.

Look at this bitch.
She even makes us work overtime tonight.

Go that way.

Bitch, where are you staying?

You like to play hide-and-seek, huh?

It's bad for you,
I'm going to hunt you down.

You bitch. You coward.

(Scream)

Oh my!

Bitch! Look what she did to me!

Oh my!

(CIP GRID)

Does anyone know where the fuck you are?

- (Cip) Here, here.
- Here where?

Holy shit, what happened?

Oh, what the fuck happened?

That's the devil, Annibale.
That is the devil!

Look what the fuck he did to you guys....

Malik?

Boy, life is good, huh?

We are doing well. Malik?

- (Man 1) Oh...
- Mortacci tua.

- (Man 2) But who is he?
- Come on.

What the fuck do you want?

(OVERLAPPING VOICES)

What the fuck is "kissing"?

Oh, Malik, get out of this bed.
Stop yelling, you must give me the money.

You all have to give me the money.
Do you understand?

Malik, hurry up, come with me,
jump out of that bed.

Why do I have to go with you?

Like why?
Weren't you looking for a job? You found it.

You must be with me always.

Hey, I recognize you. You, him, and him.

You must give me 400 euros.

- You said 350.
- Then you remember it.

Bravo.
I had said 350, it became 400.

What about the fucking interest?

If you don't like it, I'll have you deported.
Do you understand how it works?

Come on, Lothar, you're running late
on the first day of work.

Get off.

Get back into bed, go. Get moving.

(DOOR OPENING)

It is closed.

- Do you have a car?
- Go away, drunkard...

- Do you have a car? Car.
- To do what?

- Hurry up!
- I've got it, I've got it.

Do you want to tell me where we are going?

- Drive, drive.
- Tell me where we are going.

Shut up and drive!

- What does it say?
- Drive, drive.

Yes, I drive, I drive...

Brake, stop.

Hurry up!

- Where.
- There.

Here, here.

Dig in.

But here what?

Start digging!

Hurry up!

Dig fast, don't you understand?

Didn't you say...

...you would always be with me?

...that you would take me to the sea?

What are you doing here now?

Why did this happen to you?

How did you end up here?

Why?

Why?

Who did this to you?

It's all your father's fault!

Get up! Get up!

Your father got my sister killed!
And it's all your father's fault!

- Give me back my sister!
- Don't run away! Help me!

What the fuck is he saying? No!

Why are you running away? What the fuck did he say?

What the fuck did he say!

He says that your father
had his sister killed.

Like his sister?

His sister?

Is she your sister?

- What the fuck happened?
- I don't know...

- What the fuck happened?
- I don't know.

Tell me, you piece of shit!

- Oh, you have to tell me!
- I don't know, I don't know!

I only brought you here.
Ask Mr. Wang, I swear!

- Wang?
- Yes.

Your father got my sister killed!
And it's all his fault!

Why did he have to ruin her life?
How could he!

(Marcello) What the fuck is he saying?

Your father is a murderer, because he believed
in that stupid relationship!

What the fuck is he saying?

That your father had taken his sister.
And your father's fault that she died.

Your sister stole my father!
Do you understand? And it's her fault!

His! Tell him!

Say it one more time!

Father?

Father?

But what did they do to you?

(ENGINE STARTING)

Oh... Oh!

Oh!

Where are you going? Where are you going!

You can't leave me here, oh!

Oh!

(SONG: "SONG OF LOST LOVE"
By FABRIZIO DE ANDRÉ)

(Annibale) # The violets were blooming

# With our words

# We will never leave each other

# Never ever

# Hair-pulling love

# It's lost now

# All that's left is a few waking caresses

# And a little tenderness

Thank you, thank you all!

To you.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Tell me, Marcello.

Oh God.

They killed him.

Mom.

How do I tell mom?

(SINGS IN CHINESE)

(Annibale) Maybe he's better off here.

Than in a niche or
some out-of-town cemetery.

But you have to give yourself peace, Marcellino.

Give yourself peace.

For him.

For your mother.

When the man you love leaves you for someone else,
sooner or later you accept it.

Life recovers.

But if they killed you like that,
you never recover.

But if the debts had been paid,
if they were not there suspended,

Why did the Chinaman kill him?

I paid those of the past,
those of the future...

That little girl was slaving,
Maybe he wanted to take her away.

To leave like this at her age....

Because he couldn't keep
his dick in his pants.

- Just a bitchy end.
- You mustn't talk about your father like that.

And what should I say?

He died
running after a little girl.

And it leaves us in the shit.

With the pain, the debt, the shame.

All because he hasn't come
to terms with his age.

He didn't give a damn about anything or anyone,
he is an asshole, just a pathetic asshole.

- Marcellino?
- Huh?

Come with me, I have something to show you.

Here it is.

(WOMAN HUMS)

(Marcello) What are we doing here?

Wish?

(WOMAN SPEAKS IN ARABIC)

Look at you, crazy stuff,
it looks like we are the ones stealing.

Savages. Listen to this.

He had taken it for her. For her and for him.

Have you figured out
Where the 40,000 went?

He was paying rent.

He was giving money to the Chinese woman
to let her stay here.

He was basically paying a whore
to not be a whore.

It's not the fact
of keeping the bird in place, Marcello.

It was that he had fallen in love.

Marcellinoo, that loser
had fallen in love.

I'm not justifying it, you know? Let's be clear.

He runs away with a Chinese woman,
Breaks up a family.

I can't understand it.

But don't say that he didn't care about
about anything or anyone, that's not true.

Do you understand, Marcello?

What do you mean "can't be found"?

Who has not been seen since last night.

The phone is disconnected

And this morning out here
we found this.

It is his jacket.

You.

We are not what we used to be.

We came to conquer...

But we were conquered.

This city...

gets inside you.

It takes over your senses,
your mind,

It weakens your body and your will.

Every effort...

It appears useless.

Find it.

Otherwise
I'll come after your children.

Wang.

Where is Wang?

Wang, you are a lousy murderer!

Murderer!

Go away!

You only know how to
bully the weaker ones!!

Go!

You only know how to bully!

You are a bunch of murderers!
All of you, you and your leader!

You're a murderer, Wang!
You're a murderer!

You are a murderer!

You all know
That they are a bunch of murderers!

(MUSIC)

- Mahjong!
- You are too strong!

- We owe him the money again.
- Then it's all mine.

Let's give it to them, we lost again.

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

I'll take a second.
Do you remember my son?

Maggio.

Born in the most beautiful month of all.

Now he has grown up, made himself big

And he is also a great singer,
he sings really well.

He is about to give a concert.

Gentlemen, remember
to come and applaud.

Yeah, right.
But he really doesn't want to see you.

He is ashamed of him, despises him.

He doesn't call him dad,
but a fucking delinquent!

You know a lot.

What else do you know? Keep talking.

Do you think no one knows the situation?

Since you have some money
do you think you can do as you please?

Gentlemen, sorry to bother you.

Mr. Zhang loves to joke around!

Keep playing!

Go and print 2,000 copies.
I want everyone to see my son.

Get her!

Enough!

Not here in front of everyone.

- Bring her down.
- Yes, Mr. Wang.

Get her!

I'll kill you, bitch!

- Where is it?
- That way, that way!

You over there! Find it!

Take care of him!

- He was standing here a few seconds ago!
- Search that way! You over there!

- It's not here!
- Look under the truck, too!

Then where is it?

- It's gone!
- Go find her!

- Oh?
- Come, come with me.

- Come and get me!
- Don't fight with your brother.

I'm not arguing.

Marcello.

Don't worry, I'm done.

Marcello, you need to take it with you.

But why me?

Here he cannot stay.

- Then why did you bring her here?
- Because I have a heart.

I, too, have a heart.

I have a big heart,
I couldn't let her die.

- Then you keep her there.
- But you see, my house is small.

- Even my house is small.
- What are you talking about, brother?

You live alone, there are seven of us.

And I cannot endanger
my family.

Check this out.

Check this out.

They covered the neighborhood.

Brother, oh. Five children.

If anything happens to them, I will kill myself.
I swear I will kill myself.

And if something happens to me, they die.

For God's sake,
can't you mind your own fucking business?

They loved each other.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATION)

Oh, Annibale?

Marcello, I need to tell you something, can I tell you?

- Annibale.
- You did it.

Sorry.

- What the fuck are you thinking?
- Hmm?

What's going on in your head?

You sound like my grandmother.

Well, what is it
you couldn't tell me over the phone?

Some things are better not said over the phone.

What?

But that's my car.

What the fuck are you doing?

- Oh, my car! Oh!
- Be good, be good.

In that car
there could be traces of blood.

Of the Chinese, the Chinese
or both even.

Listen to Annibale.

Tomorrow, the day after, whenever,
you go and file a theft report.

What are you talking about?
No way, we're going to clean it.

- Where do you go? What do you clean?
- We clean it...

The police have certain methods
these days, certain things...

Do you know how long it takes them to trace it back to us?
They won't take long.

I got into this for you
And I don't want to take any chances.

Oh...

The Chinese are a public hazard.

If the Chinese find her, we're okay,
because they will surely kill her.

If the police find her...

She'll confess and send us all to jail.

That's why
we are looking for it now as well.

- How do you look for it?
- You have to stay calm, you don't have to do anything.

Only if she shows up,
you give me a ring, you call me, okay?

Oh, holy hell...

- Marcello, I wanted to tell you something.
- Another one?

Eh...

If, say, I were to invite Mom
over for dinner one night, would that bother you?

No.

You've taken a huge weight off my shoulders!
You've taken a huge weight off my shoulders!

We are a family, understand?

We have to stay close,
united, embraced.

When this mess is over

we'll put it all behind uss.

And only the memories will remain. The good ones.

Hi, Marcellino.

Let's go, blondes!

Oh, move your asses!

Rest assured, Marcello.

(DOOR OPENING)

Hello.

I brought you these.

For wounds.

These I have to wash.

I am Marcello.

Marcello.

Xiao Mei.

- Xiao Mei.
- "Shoo" Mei.

- Mei.
- Mei.

Mei.

Are you hungry?

I am.

"Sciao" Mei.

It is ready.

The Chinese...

I only had that, I mean.
It's not my specialty.

It tastes like chicken with tea tree soup.

Whatever, I cleaned up the tracks

May I?

It is good.

Hmm?

(BLOWS, GROANS)

Why did you lock me in?

What the fuck, Mei!

Ah! Let me go! Let me go!

- Why did you lock me in?
- So you wouldn't get killed, for fuck's sake!

So you don't get killed.

You can't, they're looking for you. No.

Let me out.

Do you understand?

This is Maggio, Wang's son.
But he never shows up around here.

Let's hurry.

Do you like Rome?

- How beautiful!
- It's beautiful, isn't it?

- So beautiful!
- I don't know, what are you saying?

I don't understand you.

That is a church.
You have to know that Rome is full of churches.

(CLACSON)
Why are you honking?

- How tall it is!
- This is an ancient palace.

- Here it is. - So many lights!
- And another church.

- Marcello, look at that!
- Ouch.

Of course, you have this habit of hitting your head.

- It is a very big house!
- This is the temple of Jupiter.

How beautiful!

These are times, there is the Mouth of Truth there.

There, there.

Look up there!

This is the Altar of the Fatherland,
an obelisk, a church.

These are cobblestones.
Look how beautiful the cobblestones are.

"Tà taratà taratà."

I am really happy.

Look how beautiful the Marcellus Theater is!

It is called Marcellus Theater, like me!

- Marcello!
- Marcello!

This is a city of churches, of fountains,
of potholes, of cobblestones, of bridges....

(Caro horn).
Of assholes.

Hello!

- (in Italian) Ciao!
- Brava.

- (Mei) Hello!
- (Marcello) Hello, Rome!

- Hello, Rome!
- Hello, Rome!

- Hello, Rome!
- Hello, Rome!

Well?

Do you like them?

Boy, I was a great tour guide.

Whatever, it's easy in Rome.

Oh? So?

Are you happy?

Thank you, Marcello.

You're welcome.

I, too, had not been there for ages.

Whatever, let's go.

Which then, to tell the truth.

I haven't been out in forever,
I'm always stuck in the fucking kitchen.

Oh? Where are you? Mei?

Oh! "Psss!" No, no!

You can't! Where are you going, Mei?

So they call the guards!

Goddamn you..

Oh, you don't do that!

I am risking my life
to help you, understand?

And you just give a damn like that?

If those people find you, will they kill you?
Do you want to get killed? Huh?

And get yourself killed!

Ever since you came into my life,
everything has gone to shit.

I had a father
Who was happy for me somewhere.

And I also had a car. Goodbye.

Do you know why my sister came to Italy?

For me

When I was born,

In my country
you are only allowed to have one child.

My sister had already been born.

My parents weren't allowed to have me.

So since I was born,
I have been hidden in the house.

For a full 20 years.

I hated it for 20 years.

I didn't understand why only she
could go to school,

hanging out with friends,

Taking the train, going to the movies.

But every time she came back

she would lie down with me.

It made me close my eyes

And she would tell me where she had been,
what had happened to her.

Only she cared
about how I was feeling.

Now you can have more children.

But where I was born,
you still have to pay a fine

to be a legal citizen.

My sister came here to Rome
to get the money together,

To set me free.

But now I am alive...

And she died.

I never told her...

Who is the person...

I love most in the world.

I must avenge her.

But what revenge?

My father, your sister Yun,
are they not enough?

And what do you want to do?

Tell me what to do.

Should I do the same as you?

Stay in the kitchen all your life?
Cook pasta every day?

I can't!

He was your father. She was my sister.

I can't pretend like you can.

Tell me what I should do.

What do you want to do?

What can we do?

Sorry, sorry.

Sorry.

I made a mistake, sorry.

Then.

Good night.

Thank you.

- Hi, Mei.
- Hi.

- Oh!
- And what is it?

- Mom.
- Huh? Marcello.

What the fuck, do you even want to play?

But I played a lot of times,
even last night.

- Then I figured it out.
- Figured what out?

It's obvious. You can't keep stuffing
everything in the washing machine.

Cute this little friend of yours?

She seems a little shy, doesn't she?

- But is it serious?
- Mom, but what serious?

You don't know how to tell lies.

Look I of life
I don't understand anything, but of love I do.

- When are you going to introduce it to me?
- When I know it's serious.

- But where is he from? From Rome?
- From east Rome. - Ah, east?

- I make coffee.
- Yes.

- Marcello?
- Hmm?

- Annibale invited me to dinner.
- I know, he even asked my permission.

But I'm embarrassed by
this thing, what do I know.

- I feel guilty.
- Mom.

Even Father would have liked to see you happy,
I am sure.

Mom.

Life is beautiful in spite of everything.

And it always surprises us.

(CHINESE MUSIC FROM THE RADIO)

Hello.

I'm back.

Hello!

Mei?

Mei?

(MUSIC)

(Rapper) # Teriyaki sauce and sweet and sour
I eat carbonara

# Under the arcades there is everything
to spend a day

# Late in the evening we tell it true

# I'm coming home
stuffed like a spring roll.

# I can't stop piazza Vittorio
is empty the guards act as hands

# There I get fried food
and from Luciano cigarettes

# I don't connect
If I'm put the way I'm always put

# 200 things below
I run as fast as the current

# Lurking on corners like traffic lights
Tick-tock, tiki-taka, scratch only drugs

# Din don, I hear the bells
As I play ping pong

# As we live it they will make a fiction

# Esquilino fixed stop
I eat at my friend's food

# Five continents
scattered inside the fridge

# We on the street scattered lost
Who under the Pepsi

# You think you will recover,
I don't think unless you pour the wine #

(You are ridiculous!

# I don't think if you don't pour the wine
ha ha ha

# ♪ Yeah yeah
I don't think if you don't pour the wine #

Boo!

Thank you, guys. Thank you all the same.

(SONG: "Che ci frega" By Maggio)

(together) Maggio! Maggio!
Maggio! Maggio! Maggio!

# On the skin
I feel the hurt that stays inside

# A cursed frost
That keeps everything still

# If I don't let it go
I lose the point and it tastes old

# Like those who have lived more than me
this time

# Doesn't understand or can't hear
Then he leaves me some why against the wind

# To be repressed or resolved in a text.

# Together with a range of choices
to be made as soon as possible.

# I have a wealth of promise to engrave

# I thank those who made me
Not wasting anything at all in the bowels

# Eyes open, eyes alert, health,

# Good friends, vivid things
To live or it comes down to me #

Going down.

# I don't shoot the sky between the heads,
I aim at my limit to stay transparent

# In a circus of judgments that doesn't serve

# I am father, son
and filter of my experiences

# It fails I do what you can
Against the walls of the same therefore

# What matters I keep inside

# I lie above a pitch-black sky
Sticking to the concrete

# Stars to watch that I don't lose

# I turn them on, I turn them off,
I turn them on, then I think #

What the fuck are you doing?

(METALLIC NOISE)

Come out!

Come out if you dare!

You are a coward.

A worm, despised even by your own son

Come out!

Come out!

They are here.

You made me miss
my son's concert.

What would you do to me if I killed him?

If you had killed
the dearest thing you have in the world?

Think about it.

Because.

That is what I will do to you.

Take a seat.

Tell me.

What did you do to her?

Tell me.

Speak up!

Tell me what happened.

What did you do to her?

(SONG: "E SE DOMANI" By MINA)

# Let's put the case

# That you feel

# Tired of me

# What's enough

(DOOR OPENING)

# To the other people

# It won't give me

# Not even a shadow

# Of the lost

# Happiness

# And if tomorrow

# And I stress "if"

# Suddenly

# I lose you

# I would have lost

# The whole world

# Not just you

# And if tomorrow

# I could not

# Reviewing you #

Do you suspect someone
who wanted to harm her father?

- No. No.
- Where were you last night?

I was at a concert, playing nearby.

(Ball!

# What's enough

# To the other people

# It won't give me

# Not even a shadow

# Of the lost

# Happiness

# And if tomorrow

# And I emphasize if

# Suddenly

# I lose you

# I would have lost

# The whole world

# Not just you #

Are you sure?

(DOOR OPENING)
What the fuck are you doing?

- If you are here it is because you know.
- Let's go. Put down that pen and let's go.

- No.
- No? Yes, come on.

- There's no point getting upset, that's just how it is.
- Like hell it is!

Do you understand?
It's not like that my ass! Put the pen down!

Beware of my pen! It is ancient.

You have to be quiet.
You must shut up, do you understand?

Translate.

He says you don't talk like that in his house.

"His house? Your house is
50,000 kilometers away.

This is my house! Do you understand?
You are playing dirty.

Annibale, let it go,
we've come to an agreement.

I'll give you the money.

- It is not a question of money.
- No.

You must be quiet I said!

(in Italian) Do you know what the difference is

between my house 50,000 million
miles from here and here?

Which one is it?

That here everything is allowed
And nothing is important.

With us nothing is allowed
And everything is important.

And what the fuck does that mean?

That to take
an important thing from us,

you have to give
something important in return.

Important? Alfredo, but she's a hooker.

Don't you dare. Don't you dare!

Xiao Yun, back to work.

No. No!
You must leave, Annibale!

But why are you throwing me out?
I'm saving your ass.

I want to go away with her!

I want to go away with her,
can you understand that?

- If I don't give them the restaurant,
they won't let her go.
- They won't.

Do you understand, Annibale? Do you understand?

Alfredo.

Come back to you, oh, it's me.
Huh? Alfredo, oh.

But don't you think about your child,
your wife, your family?

You know what?

You don't remember, just like I had forgotten,
what it means to be in love.

Do you understand?

But at our age
Being in love is something else.

That restaurant
Was your grandfather's, your father's,

Then it was ours,
it will be Marcello's and Marcello's children's.

If he stays in that life,
Marcello will never have children.

Why not?
All this over a little Chinese girl!

I told you
not to talk about her like that, is that clear?

Annibale, I am reborn with her.
In fact, more than that, I was resurrected.

You don't want to understand,
Because you are still dead.

So you betray me?

Alfredo, are you betraying me like this?

Inside that place we grew up,
we were kids, we are like brothers.

We cannot give in to this blackmail
And leave everything to these assholes.

And let the world go to hell.

Annibale, what the fuck are you talking about?

It's my home-this is my home.

Do you want to take everything, you pieces of shit?

I only found a solution
To Mr. Alfredo's problem.

Don't make a scene, put it away.

Annibale...

- No, no...
- What are you doing?

- Take it easy.
- Go away, let it be...

Quiet.

Do you want to shoot us?

No, Alfredo, please.

Alfredo.

A scribble on each page and then one
final signature at the end, right?

Alfredo, throw that pen away.
Please don't sign it, Alfredo!

Alfredo.

Alfredo.

Annibale...

Get out. Put that stuff away and get out.
You never scared anybody.

No! No!

What have you done!

No!

Alfredo, don't leave me alone!

No!

Son of a bitch!

Go to hell, you Italian bastard!

That's why I wanted to leave.

Where are you going? Marcello.

Open! Open the door!

Annibale.

Look at how you're dressed!

Are you going to get married?

You look wonderful.

You know what I was thinking?

Why don't we have this dinner here?
we don't have it here?

- Here?
- There is no one there.

It is our home.

Huh?

Tonight, I'm the one being served.

Lorena, have you ever thought...

what if, I don't know...

You and I, so...

...if things had been different?
Or...I don't know.

Maybe it's better not to
ask these questions.

You are right.

It's just that anything is better than having regrets.

- You have to look forward.
- Yes.

That's why I invited you to dinner.
To look ahead.

Where have I been working for 30 years?

(Lorena) What is it?

Marcellino, what is this filth?

Tea tree bucatini soup.

In honor of Father.

Ah...

I see, but I ordered the amatriciana.

He always wanted amatriciana, too.

If he could, lunch and dinner.

May I?

He didn't digest it, though.

It stayed on his stomach,
the night was a torment.

Do you remember?

He was forcing us
to take him to the emergency room.

- Because he thought he was going to die.
- Yes, I remember that.

He liked to go to the emergency room.

Headache, ER.

A pain in the arm, heart attack ...

ER.

He would get a small cut, tetanus....

ER.

And then he always wanted them to take
that fucking X-ray.

To be sure.

And how pissed off he got
When they told him he had nothing.

And he began to say to them:
"What are you talking about? "

"These aren't doctors!
They're a bunch of farmhands!"

"Arms stolen from agriculture."

Yes, he liked to say:
"Arms stolen from agriculture."

"Those lowlifes, those tramps."
Remember?

Yes.

"These pilgrims, scalzacani."
How many times he said that.

What does scalzacani mean anyway?
Do you know the meaning?

- No.
- I don't know what it means either.

Only Alfredo knows.

Marcello, but why did you bring me
this garbage?

It's not the food that matters, it's the appetite.

And you never missed it.

0r not?

- Eat.
- Oh, but what way is that?

- Eat, Annibale.
- What's this about?

Eat, I want to see you eat!

Oh, Marcello, what's the matter with you?
Why are you doing this?

Lorena,
I remembered that I have something to do.

What about our dinner?

One more time.

But are you leaving like this? Are you really?

You've damned your soul for this place,
and you're just leaving like this? Annibale?

- Oh, Annibale!
- Marcello, but what is it?

Will you tell me what's going on? Why are you doing this?

- What's wrong with you?
- Mom.

How beautiful you are.

Nothing, I'm a little nervous.

I'm going to go and apologize to him now. Is that okay?

I'll be right there.

(Marcello) Annibale!

- Oh!
- Come back inside, it's better for everyone.

Let's start this stuff from there.

Annibale.

- Go away, Marcello.
- Don't run away from this. Oh!

- Get out!
- How could you?

How could you
for that lousy place?

You told me all that crap
On my father's grave, oh!

Say it. You killed
your best friend.

- My best friend...
- Say it!

He was abandoning me.

Your father was leaving,

Was selling the most beautiful thing,
most precious thing you have,

our restaurant.

- What do you mean "ours"?
- Those bastards...

I preferred my father alive!

Because you are a poor prick!

Because you are an asshole.

Like him.

- Here's why.
- You are the asshole, Annibale.

Look at you, you stink.

- Watch your mouth.
- Oh, yeah?

- Watch your fucking mouth.
- You're a desperate man.

Worse than those you exploit.
You are a dinosaur, Annibale.

You are the last of the dinosaurs left
on Earth and you're a fucking killer.

"Murderer?"

- But if I did it for you.
- For me? - Yes.

- I did it for us.
- No.

You did it
Because you are alone like a dog.

And the only place
you could be in was that.

And the only ones who loved you,
who took you in, were us.

And you killed your best friend.

He loved you.

With all the junk you do.

I loved you
With all the crap you do.

She...

He loved you
With all the crap you do.

We loved you the way one loves a poor wretch.
Look at me...

- Stop...
- I pity you, you're dead and you don't know it.

- You make me sick.
- Fuck you, that's enough.

Enough.

Enough said.

Do you want to kill me too?

Come on, kill me.

Because I will not give you peace.

Come on, take me well.

And put me next to my father.

(LORENA GRIDA)

(MEI SPEAKS IN CHINESE)

Let's bow.
Class is over.

Hello.

See you tomorrow.

Come early tomorrow.

(Lino) A spaghetti aglio e olio,
one bucatino all'amatriciana

And penne all'arrabbiata.

Hello,

- Hi, Lorena.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Come on, bro, another goddamn day is over.

For you.

I salute you.

Go to hell!

You look tired. Are you tired?

Let's go eat.

Marcello?

So hungry, let's go eat!

- (in Chinese) Thank you, dad.
- You are welcome, my love.

- (in Italian) Thank you, dad.
- You're welcome.

Enjoy.

(in Chinese) Tomorrow you should take them,
otherwise I won't make it in time.

(in Italian) I'll take care of it.
