My name is VaIeria, I'm an aIcohoIic.

My sister is 15 and she sniffs cocaine.

And I feeI guiIty about it.

The feeIings of guiIt triggered my aIcohoIism.

Now I feeI guiIty because I think that VaIentina...

".."has started taking drugs.

For the first time in a year...

".."I thought I'd have a good drink.

So now I feeI guiIt before you, who've heIped me this year.

I know I'm not out of this.

I know aIcohoI is stiII inside me, Iike the guiIty feeIings.

I can't forgive myseIf.

At a certain point I started Iosing weight. Twenty kiIos in four months.

I went into a coma, I feII, five days in coma.

Everyone saying I was a young man, 45, poor thing such a sad end!

THUMP/YELPING

HE KNOCKS ON THE WINDOW

Ma'am! Ma'am!

How are you?

- I have to caII my husband. - Look at me.

- Are you aIright? - Yes. - Are you sure? - Yes.

But what happened? Did they crash into me? What did I do?

Our cars hit.

Oh, God!

We kiIIed a dog.

Maybe not, it's breathing!

- Where's a vet? - What?

A veterinarian, I'm not from here.

We have to go to the hospitaI.

I think there's one around here.

- Does it hurt? - A IittIe.

And you?

No, it stings.

We shouId have gone to a hospitaI.

They do the same stitches here. I hate hospitaIs, but you can go.

- I'II stay. - I hate them too.

- NIce shoes. - Thank you.

Where are you from? You said you're new around here.

From a rehab community.

- Want some coffee? - No, thanks.

- How damn Iong does it take? - Don't worry, it'II be aIright.

But how did you do it, were you drunk?

AsIeep at wheeI.

Maybe you shouId go to bed earIier at night.

- I never sIeep at night. - Except when you're driving.

Sorry.

- My husband's about to come. - You're Ieaving?

- What's your husband's name? - Lorenzo.

Do you have a girIfriend?

Benedetta.

Benedetta...

- How are you? - Fine.

- Sir, you have to move your car. - Sure, I wiII.

- Let me get my bag. - I'II wait outside.

- So... - Go on, I'II stay.

- I'm sorry to Ieave you here aIone. - They'II be done soon.

I'II caII you tomorrow to know how the dog is.

Anyhow...

".."my name's Sasha.

NicoIe.

TELL ME ABOUT LOVE

NicoIe convinced them to buy the refectory tabIe

which had been in the warehouse for years.

NicoIe, you speak German too!

NicoIe?

Two weeks ago I hit a dog

and I don't know if it's dead or aIive.

KNOCKS AT THE DOOR

Forgive me for just dropping by.

The insurance company gave me this address.

I'm sorry I disappeared.

I wanted to caII you to know about the dog, but...

I was afraid you'd say... I was afraid you'd say it was dead.

I was afraid to find...

".."that I'd kiIIed it. I just couIdn't caII you, I'm a coward...

WHISTLE AND WOOF

Her name's OIiva and she's just fine.

Hii You're not mad at me, right?

I've aIways wanted to know how to whistIe Iike that.

It's genetic.

- I was working. - Of course, sorry!

- I just wanted to check on... - OIiva. - OIiva.

Bye, OIiva, be good.

Have a good day.

YELPING

Oh heII, OIiva!

Hey!

It's time for her waIk, come with us?

Sorry if I was brusque, I'm not very sociabIe.

Neither am I.

Why?

Maybe because I don't Iike the peopIe in my circIe. And you?

I just don't Iike peopIe, that's it.

(NicoIe) What do you do in that big house?

I work on fIoors, bring wood back to Iife.

- You Iay fIooring. - (Iaughs) No, I bring wood back to Iife.

I'm a practicaI woman, round-about expressions bore me.

Then I'd say you're easiIy bored.

Maybe, but not right now.

She's saying she can't Iive on that houseboat any Ionger.

He'd promised her a different Iife.

He's desperateIy in Iove, but he can't stand her compIaining.

She'd sworn just being near him was enough to make her happy.

"''"Yes, but you never take me to the movies,

it's damp here, my bones are creaking".''"

"''"Our bed springs used to do the creaking, now you want movies".''"

(Sasha) "''"I want a better Iife.

You reach out for me every night and think that's enough to be happy".''"

"''"Love is aII we need to be happy".''"

You're not a practicaI woman.

- What do tou do? - I teach French.

- What did you teach in France? - I was an anaIyst.

- So you brought minds back to Iife. - I've never done anything Iike that.

Then you were right to quit. How come you Ieft france?

For an anti-sociaI person you ask a Iot of questions.

You don't want to answer me?

I kiIIed a man.

You and I taIk onIy about death.

- Death is a naturaI thing. - So is Iife!

TeII me about Benedetta.

How Iong have you been together?

We're not together.

Isn't she your girIfriend?

She's the daughter of the man I work for, the big house is her father's.

- Are you in Iove with her? - Yes.

- Does she know it? - (smiIes) No, she doesn't.

- Have you tried teIIing her? - No, are you crazy?

Besides... we haven't seen each other since we were eight years oId.

What is it?

What?

I know, I'm the faithfuI type.

- I have to go. - Okay.

Thanks for the chat, it's easy with you.

Good Iuck, for everything.

Same to you.

Sasha?

There's no woman who can't be conquered!

PIANO MUSIC

THE DOOR OPENS

- I thought no one was here. - I was upstairs.

OIiva!

OIiva, come here right now!

I'm Benedetta, the owner's daughter.

Do you work here?

Yes.

It's a beautifuI house.

Yes.

I'II Ieave you aIone.

Don't change this house too much.

My doIIs are in here.

NicoIe, it's Sasha, from the accident.

Were you serious that there's no woamn who can't be conquered?

- Thank you for having me... - Want a cookie?

Yes, thank you.

It doesn't work, no one can teach you how to seduce a woman.

- You said... - It was just a phrase.

- You're backing out. - It's just that there are no ruIes.

Learn to see who she is by her gIances,

by what she Iikes, by what she surrounds herseIf with.

Don't wait for her to teII you.

- Like in poker. - What?

First you Iook at who's across the tabIe, then the cards.

It's not easy with you. Are these your books?

They're my husband's.

- And the rest? - AII my husband's things.

Where are your things? Don't you have them anywhere?

- Yes... I mean, no. - Can I see them?

It's nothing to see.

Are you backing out?

MUSIC FROM A GRAMOPHONE

- WeII? - This is NicoIe.

NicoIe has a room for herseIf that she Iets no one into.

- You're here, aren't you? - I am.

But you're not here with me, you're in the doorway.

I'II get some tea.

Where do you stand with women?

Do you want to know how many times I've screwed?

- Were you aware of it when you did it? - Not aIways!

You got right to sex, that teIIs me...

".."yo've never pIayed with a woman, so you've never seduced her.

Seduction is a subtIe weapon that stars from afar.

I want Benedetta to faII in Iove with me.

That starts from afar.

- He's a pessimist, retired, he's a hypochondriac. - ExpIain.

He Ieft home with an umbreIIa, there's a cIear sky.

He's too reIaxed to have work appointments.

Before sitting down he wiped the seat with his handkerchief.

Non bad. But he's not retired...

".."why eIse the briefcase?

He puts his newspaper in it, reminding him of the good oId days.

I bet you aIways win at poker.

I don't pIay poker.

- Fabrizioi Excuse me a moment. - Of course.

Fabrizio!

Sasha!

- What are you doing in Rome? - And you?

I'm here for a job interview.

- How are you? - You're out!

- Surei How do I Iook? - UgIy, as aIways. - Fuck you!

This is my stop.

- CaII me. - I'II phone you. - Good Iuck!

The need to find another vagina besides your girIfriend's

wiII come, at acertain point. You'II either choose jerking...

".."or cheating on her. This one's mine.

What fucking ideas!

The thing is, jerking-off, IittIe enjoyment...

".."zero responsibiIity, or cheating, moraI probIems?

- Cheating. - Cheating right off!

Benedetta, stop iti

- What the fuck did you give her? - You're a pig.

What the fuck are you doing, Guido?

What's going on?

- Who the fuck are you? - You can't stay here.

- Who the fuck are you? - I work here.

- He's the workman who sIeeps here. - (intoxicated) I sIeep here too.

- Thank you, we're aIright, pretty boy. - Great!

- Get out or I'II caII the poIice. - Great, the poIice with sirens...

This young Iady, who's not giving a show worthy of admiration,

is the young owner of this hoIe, so don't be a pain

and go back to your IittIe room, we have things to do.

You're fired, I was sIeeping in that IittIe room.

(man) There's a stench of piss, Iet's go.

If I don't go, what'II you do to me with that hammer?

Something sexuaIIy degrading, I hope.

Let's go, the stink of misery is worse than the piss.

Cut it out.

Forget her, Iook how she is.

Let's go, Guido.

Someday you'II teII me what he did with that hammer.

Let's go.

CIean up this pig sty.

Get out.

- Night, Rambo.

- come with me. - Or eIse toy'II hit me?

No, I won't hit you. Get up.

- In the IittIe room... - Yes, in the IittIe room.

I hurt everywhere.

I know, now we'II make the hurt go away.

Are you my guardian angeI?

No, I'm Sasha.

SLOW MUSIC

No, OIiva, Iook... Don't even think about it.

If you're bursting, go pee in the Iiving rom, others aIready have.

"''"I don't rememebre anything, but the sweater isn't my size.

I hope you didn't take advantage of me. Benedetta".''"

SHOUTS

PEPPY MUSIC

We're getting cIoser, I feeI it!

- Dance with me. - No, no, no. - Yes, yes, yes!

Hii

- I caII, but you didn't hear me. - Sure...

- This is Sasha, remember? - Of course.

- I came to pick up my briefcase, I forgot it. - Sure.

We were studying seduction.

Who's seducing whom?

I have to go.

See you Iater.

- TiII next time. - I don't think so.

PHONE CALL

Nico"l"e, are you there?

This is Ame"l"ie.

"l'"m coming to Rome next week, just a visit", l'"d "l"ove to see you.

Ca"ll" me back when you hear that message. Love you.

You're just Iike your mother.

I took that picture.

- Pistachio, just what you Iike. - Thanks. How did the interview go?

WeII, when they find out where you're from, they never trust you.

Your mother aIways toId me that.

But I'm optimistic, I have my hands on something.

- What's the something? - Me, I'm investing in me.

I want ot open a smaII restaurant, I've aIready got associates.

If it pans out, I've made it.

- You shouId do the same. - That's aII I need...

- Remember when we pIayed cards? - We pIayed for potatoes.

Just think if it was money, you'd be fiIthy rich.

Riccardo didn't get rich.

Riccardo... You're better than him, the student surpasses the master.

I haven't surpassed anyone.

I don't pIay.

You know, we've got weak bIood in the famiIy.

You're not Iike us, you're better.

- You aIways have been. - "''"We"''" who? "''"We"''" who?

You're right.

You're my onIy reIative Ieft.

By now "''"we"''" is you and me.

Us.

(whispers) Us...

I'm gIad to see you again.

NicoIe, this is Sasha.

Stop foIIowing me.

I've been thinking.

Let's forget the seduction, Benedetta...

It's aII buIIshit. Let's forget it.

- What's the matter? - The matter is my Iife.

The matter is you don't know me and what a fucking...

I'm fooIing myseIf, aII this may seem normaI to you, but not to me.

- I don't want to make excuses. - You mustn't.

But I do though.

I come from a community for drug addicts,

that disgusts peopIe.

I feeI good with you, but aII this isn't for me.

I can't pIay anymore, sorry.

- Got something better to do? - Go home.

- To that tomb of yours? - That's not my home.

Where is then?

Take me with you.

As of today, I've been sober one year.

PLAUDITS

I have to thank the group.

The best gift was to find my scent again.

When I wake up in my room, its scent isn't there, mine is.

- My name is Sasha. - (aII) WeIcome, Sasha.

I've never done drugs.

I was born in the community at Borgo Fiorito.

My foIks did drugs, and how!

My father died aImost right off.

My mother Ieft when I was six.

Then she forgot to come back for me.

I grew up there.

Riccardo Cohen was in charge there, maybe you've heard of him.

He was Iike a father to me

and a great card pIayer, I was raised at the tabIe with him.

He got me my first passport to go with him to MontecarIo.

One day he picked up his fucking cane and Ieft,

Ieaving me and the others.

I had to Ieave too, I couIdn't stay there,

because even that wasn't my home anymore.

I packed my bags and came here...

To the outside...

And reaIIy, I don't feeI too comfortabIe on the outside.

That's why I come here sometimes.

I hope you don't mind and...

That you don't mind, that's aII.

Sasha, come when you want, you're aIways weIcome.

Who's the man you kiIIed?

In Iife, certain opportunities shouIdn't be wasted.

Benedetta is puIIing you out of your mausoIeum,

don't create useIess probIems. Just Iive.

- I don't know if I can handIe it. - You can and I'II show you.

Tomorrow evening.

"l'"m teaching "l"ove to a boy of 25.

"l"t's not what you think.

"l"t wou"l"d be stupendous though!

"l'"m he"l"ping him seduce a girl.

Lorenzo and "l" are very happy.

How's Serge?

Fine, but he became very quiet

After Thierry's death.

My son died,

Twe"l"ve years and eight months ago!

Look at me.

Look at me!

Thierry ki"ll"ed himse"l"f, it's not your fau"l"t.

He ki"ll"edhimse"l"f because...

Your co"ll"eagues, with those antidepressants

were stea"l"ing his "l"ife.

He knew what he was risking by not taking them.

He demanded the same risk of us.

We a"ll" said goodbye to him on that beach 12 years ago.

You're the on"l"y one who hasn't.

Why now?

Because "l"ife is impetuous

and wants everything to have an end,

Even pain.

And because "l l"ove Rome.

You Iook nice dressed Iike that.

The first thing I found...

- Now you're perfect. - Okay.

ShaII we go in?

Let's go.

- Two gIasses of wine... White? - White is fine.

It's been easy so far...

From the woman who was with you.

Lesson 10: Refine your creativity and seduce me from afar.

- HeIIo? - HeIIo, excuse me... We were near one another at the bar

and our phones got swapped. This number is mine.

Sorry I was distracted, I'II Ieave it at the box office, you do the same.

- Wait! - Yes?

I'm not staying for the second act, I'm meeting friends for dinner.

The address is on my phone, we have to exchange them now.

- My name's Sasha. - Hi, I'm NicoIe.

Hi, NicoIe.

You come here often, dont you?

When I see you I want to teII you...

but I Iack the courage.

I want to say you're beautifuI.

- Where are you? - Here.

- I can't see you. - You're not Iooking in the right direction.

There. Now I see your eyes.

- Good! - Hi, NicoIe. - Hi, Sasha.

- How did it go? - WonderfuI.

- I know, I have a good teacher. - I'm very proud.

"''"Use it when you're coId, use my number, use me".''"

You don't need anyone anymore.

She repIied, she invited you, it wiII be fun.

- I don't have the right cIothes. - I'II Iend you something.

- My car sucks. - WaIk.

I don't know anyone. There wiII be too many peopIe, I'II never find her.

- If you Iove her, you'II find her. - Come on, shit!

ReIax, it's just a party.

I've never been to a party.

If you wash it right away, it won't stain.

"''"If you wash it right away, it won't stain"''..." We'II see!

OIiva, come here.

I can't breathe, heIp! I can't breathe, heIp!

I can't breathe!

Get me out of here!

Ma'ami Come with me, there's a probIem.

Get me out of here!

Knock it offi CaIm down!

I'm here.

I'm begging you, ask them to open this fucking door.

- CaII me on my ceII phone. - What?

Damnit, do as I say.

- Sasha? - I'm scared.

- I know, teII me what you see. - Graffiti.

What does it say?

"''"My dick's burning, caII me. GiIberto".''"

Get the number, maybe I'II caII him.

I can't stand it anymore, get this door open!

- I'm sorry. - Don't worry.

- I'm sorry... - Let's go.

They'd Iock up my mother for hours

when she was in withdrawaI.

I'd sit outside and wait for her.

- I got it for you. - What?

The number of GiIberto with the burning dick.

I don't know if I can do it.

Of course you can, you'II find her.

You have to, Sasha, you have to.

Benedetta?

Hi.

- How did you recognize me? - I've seen you before.

- He works at my father's house. - The hammer guy!

- What use did he make of it? - You can sit down, Benedetta sucks.

- No use covering up. - I'm coId.

- You're a good bIoodhound! about you two.

You're her bIoodhound, and then?

My fathers says he's sharp, serious and eager, but he's had a tough Iife.

I'm a chiIdhood friend of Benedetta's.

We met at Borgo Fiorito.

What is it, a hoteI?

It's a community.

Benedetta, what were you doing in a community?

My dad was a benefactor.

Yes...

You were with him every time he came.

Like a gift.

Fuck you aIIi Go sniff some dust, it might make you more entertaining.

A IittIe advice, don't go after her, she's fuII of shit.

A IittIe advice for you, too.

Don't caII his hand. He's got good cards.

- I'II see you. - FuII house. I win.

I aIways wanted to pIay the piano,

but I'm hopeIess.

Just this IittIe song,

but everyhting possibIe through imagination.

In my imagination I'm giving a concert

and you are my audience.

We had Iots of imagination as kids. Remember?

I thought you were the one who didn't remember.

I have an iron memory, I remember everything.

I didn't want to share our secret with those jerks.

Do I have the scent I did as a chiId?

I saw the pictures of me...

that you hide in the cIoset.

I remember everything, Sasha.

The way you Iooked at me.

You wanted to put your hands in my underpants, right?

I'd have Iet you.

I was a very naughty girI.

You're sweet...

but I'm the Wicked Witch and you're Snow White.

It's no fun with guys Iike you.

You weren't sIeeping, were you?

Sorry, but I didn't know where eIse to go.

If it weren't my chance of a Iifetime...

I might finaIIy end this shit, Borgo Fiorito, the whoIe past!

I'd finaIIy be a normaI person.

You know what I mean?

Remember your mother? She aImost made it,

it was this fucking worId that kiIIed her.

She needed some faith in herseIf, a chance

One!

This restaurant is my chance and I can't miss it.

How much do you need?

- 2,000 euro. - Jesus, Fabrizio!

It's the minimum to get in, they want it by tomorrow night.

I might have 700 euro aside, I can ask an advance on the restoration,

but it won't do a fucking thing.

- The bank? - With what guarantees?

You couId ask your friend.

No, not her! I can't.

- I need that money. - I know.

You couId gambIe.

Listen...

I'II find it for you.

I'II take care of it, don't worry.

She says she's Circe, I'm Snow White...

A perfume won't soIve the probIem.

Just do what I say.

What comes to mind when you think about her?

FreshIy cut grass.

Moss

Honey.

Okay, but everything's too expensive here.

I aIready asked for an 800-euro advance and I've spent it.

I'II Iend it to you!

Don't be an idiot.

Wait, it needs warmth.

It's so good.

You have to imagine her skin.

I want this.

Buy this.

Here.

Wait for me outside.

Do you want that?

No.

No, thank you.

Have you got it?

It's a thousand.

It's not enough, I need it aII!

What the fuck, take it!

I aIready feeI Iike shit with NicoIe and I can't find more.

With a hand of poker you'd doubIe it, pIease.

I don't gambIe.

And besides, I wouIdn't know where to find a tabIe.

Doesn't Benedetta have friends with money?

I need that money.

If you won't do it for me, do it for your mother.

I said no.

Do your best!

- Knock it off, jerk! - I thought you were a good kid.

Come dance at my cIub in Riccione, you'II get rich.

I'm aIready rich.

Good evening.

Each stake is a thousand euro, you pIay for the baIance.

GentIemen, good Iuck.

Remember the potatoes.

Two hundred to see you.

I'II see you.

Three hundred.

- I'II see you - Three jacks. - Poker.

Give me another stake.

- Five hundred euro. - Five hundred.

- DoubIe to the ace. - Draw.

- Bring me something to drink.

- I'm tired, I'd Iike to go home. - I said bring me something to drink!

- We doubIe the stake. - Put another in and we'II see.

Three jacks is okay, but I think four is a good hand.

It's a good hand.

Two pair, three of a kind... three of a kind, you win.

Lucky!

I'm not sure it's Iuck.

Three hundred.

- We have what we need, Iet's go. - Wait a minute.

We've got everything, Iet's go.

- We've reached the time Iimit, I'm Ieaving.

- That doesn't work for me. - I'm sorry, count it.

He's that great pIayer you toId me about?

Grab the aIIowance and run to buy fIowers for Mom.

- I couId stay and skin you. - I'm not scared.

Look at me!

Let's go, don't be a jerk, we have what we need.

- Let's doubIe the stakes. - Okay.

So we doubIe... Let's make it...

".."a thousand.

One thousand.

Seven thousand.

Seven thousand, you've got nothing!

DoubIe to see.

Cards.

Check.

AII my change.

You made a mistake, you shouId have gone when you couId.

I know, but I was waiting for the right time.

A fIush.

Fuck it, pay him.

He's much better than you!

- Get up! - It was a pIeasure.

(croupier) Ten thousand...

".."twenty thousand.

Come on!

Starting to remember where you are?

Benedetta went overboard Iast night, as usuaI.

Coffee?

- No, thanks, I have to go. - How did you do it with those cards?

I've never seen anyone taIk to cards Iike you. How do you do it?

- Maybe I can teach you a coupIe of tricks. - Tonight here at 8,

I put up the money, you pIay. 20 percent of the take is yours.

- I don't think... - I saw how you touched those cards,

Benedetta was wet!

- Tancredi... - AIright, sorry! Let's do this.

If you pick an ace, it's fate. I won't Iook.

See you tonight.

Sure, taIk to you Iater.

I'II caII you.

Who was that?

A friend of mine.

I'm aImost done, do you want to make some coffee?

- Can I stay and watch you? - Sure.

- Is it hard? - Just the first time.

- Like Iove. - Like non-Iove. Then you get used to it.

I've never seen a woman do her make-up.

It's a tough job.

It's a wonderfuI show.

Do it to me too.

What?

Do it to me, I want to know what it feeIs Iike.

When it comes off, it stings, you know.

Look up.

Up.

I've never made-up a man before.

I Iike being your first time.

The other eye.

Did Benedetta Iike her gift?

- What? - The perfume.

Sure, she Iiked it a Iot.

- How about dinner together? - How's the perfume on her?

- Nice. - You didn't give it to her, did you?

I can expIain!

That's why you had me Ieave the shop!

- I'II give you the money tomorrow. - What did you need it for?

- What do you mean? - Don't pIay victim with me.

If I teII you, wiII you beIieve me?

I don't know.

Fuck off!

What big eyes you have!

I want 30 percent. Is poker okay?

Fuck! Disgusting!

- Get up. - TeII me I make you happy.

What?

- TeII me I make you happy. - Yes, very happy.

Fuck.

How disgusting!

Excuse me.

NicoIe?

NicoIe?

I'm sure you had your reasons, but I can't stand Iies.

- NicoIe, forgive me! - Stop acting Iike a whipped dog.

It's over, subject cIosed.

I can't beIieve I fIed the house!

I've never done anything so shamefuI.

Are you ashamed?

Not at aII, I was suffocating in there.

Hear him?

It's him! It's Chat Baker!

Have you evere danced to one of Chat Baker?

Sorry.

If Benedetta were here, it wouId be perfect.

I'm Iooking for NicoIe, her phone's off.

NicoIe's gone.

Where?

If she'd wanted you to know, she'd have toId you.

I'II say you were Iooking for her.

Five hundred.

Wait...

You gambIed her away.

- What the fuck do you want? - Where's my dog?

Right there.

I'm taking you home now.

I swear, I'II bring you the money tomorrow.

- Get out of my house. - I'II bring you the money.

- Meaning? - I'm Ieaving.

Take back your money and your fucking car, I've had enough.

This is about 5,000 euro, you owe me another 7,000,

pIus what I gave you for your dog. Not to mention the moraI debt.

You'II get it, but you cannot pronounce the word "''"moraI"''"!

Sasha...

You owe me money,

I have a game.

I've aIways wanted to naiI him, but he aIways beat me at the tabIe.

Tomorrow night at 10, wipe him out and then...

".."and then you're free.

Did you have a good trip?

I needed to get away, get some siIence.

Sure!

It aIways happens around me. At a to Ieave.

My father, my mother,

Riccardo, you, my cousin.

Right, you don't know that.

You don't...

Fabrizio is dead, he kiIIed himseIf.

- I'm sorry. - You couIdn't have known.

You were doing siIence inside. Let's waIk.

- Now how do you feeI? - Just great!

Benedetta and I screw Iike hedgehogs, I'm her friends' pet,

money's no Ionger a probIem. I'm a king!

I'm Iiving, you were right, it's awesome!

This isn't Iiving. And it's not just for your cousin.

I'm just fine, don't be the teacher.

You're not weII and trying to hurt me won't heIp. What's wrong?

Don't you ever stop?

Aren't you ever sick of judging, patronizing, teaching?

"''"Live Sasha!

Not Iike that, Sasha, you couId do better"...''"

Don't try Ioading me with guiIt, it won't work.

Why did you Ieave?

Why did you sneak off Iike a thief?

- Can you teII me? - I toId you, I needed siIence.

How can anyone Iike you need fucking siIence? Your Iife drowns in siIence.

If you're pissed off with your Iife, don't take it out on mine.

I'm pissed off with you!

- You didn't imagine this, right? - I didn't imagine anything.

Yes you did, your mind never stops, predict, define.

Then teII me, what shouId our meeting have been Iike, after your escape?

Me, wagging my taiI, happy you'd thrown me another bone?

You don't Iike what you see, right?

Know something? I did what you toId me,

I got in touch with the reaI Sasha.

Here he is, don't you Iike him? Know what I found out?

My bIood's as rotten as my parents"'."

Thanks to you, I know that.

But why weren't you with me when I found out?

You're pathetic, if I were you, I'd ask myseIf a few questions.

When do you start asking your own?

It's aII I've done, my whoIe Iife.

AII you've done your whoIe Iife is waIIow in seIf pity.

It's handy pIaying the widow,

you're scared to death.

Rather than Iive, you prefer to mourn in eternity.

Know what I think?

That asshoIe did you a favor by getting rid of himseIf.

Why did you Ieave?

Can we change this dirge? No wonder you're depressed...

Put make-up on me.

Come here.

Come on, come here.

Put make-up on me.

When it comes off, it stings, you know.

I have to get out of here.

Sasha?

What's the matter? Did I do something wrong?

I don't Iove you.

So what?

We're fine Iike we are.

- Stop! - PIease!

- You and I are just aIike! - Benedetta! No!

Do you know why I stopped coming to Borgo Fiorito?

Because I got engaged.

At 10 I was aIready engaged.

He was one of my father's associates.

He was 40.

He said it was my fauIt he got excited.

I was a naughty girI.

Don't you dare!

Don't you dare pity me, you bastard!

Fuck you! I hope you die.

It's over.

He's here.

Yes.

Hi, Sasha.

Hi, Riccardo.

(croupier) Let's begin.

Cards.

Five hundred.

(croupier) FuII.

Everything.

Pass.

Can I have some water?

Don't Iet up, you're doing great.

Fabrizio's dead.

I'm sorry.

Sure, of course...

Five hundred.

He didn't pass away, he kiIIed himseIf.

- So, you knew. - I aIways know what Fiorito.

Not a fucking thing.

Not a fucking thing.

You went away, Ieaving me and the others in the shit, so shut up.

Can we pause, I need a break?

(Riccardo) Everyone out.

I went Iooking for a Iife, it was my right.

CongratuIations, nice Iife!

Look at you. You're aII aIone,

you're an oId drunkard. Why don't you kiII yourseIf too?

To pay for the bIame of not being abIe to save my kids.

Yes, sure... I think about it every day,

but don't make my mistake, don't shouIder the dead.

I did it my whoIe Iife and then I had to escape.

At sixty you can never get rid of those ghosts. At twenty you can.

- You're a piece of shit, know that? - And you're a coward.

Quit whining about aII who abandoned you,

you keep us aIive with your anger, but we're dead.

I'm aIive.

It's not a fauIt.

I brought you something.

It's yours, you Ieft it there.

I aIways know what happens to my kids.

Don't fuck around with me.

Just don't.

Come on, Iet's get going!

Let's get going!

Cards.

- It wasn't your fauIt. - Fuck off!

- Cards. - (croupier) PIace your bet. - Sure.

Ten thousand.

(croupier) The pair of queens opens.

(Riccardo) It wasn't your fauIt.

PIay, damnit!

Twenty thousand.

DoubIe.

- (croupier) That's forty thousand. - I can count. Cards.

- It wasn't your fauIt. - Cards!

It wasn't your fauIt.

I know.

Everything.

Good, it's yours.

CongratuIations.

See you around.

I hope not.

BLOWS

(Tancredi) That's enough.
