Ah, you’re finally here!

Come in, come dear!

Hi, darling!

Dinner’s almost ready!

Claudio, come in! Say hi! Don’t be rude!

Darling, come on, don’t pester the boy! Come in, come in!

Riccardo?

Riccardo?

I cannot sleep

Subtitles by Davide Territo

Oh, Riccardo, darling!

Hi...

Oh darling, but... you’re not wearing shoes!

Claudio, for heaven’s sake, put it aside at least while at the table! Some politeness!

Oh come on dear, it’s the first time our kids meet, they might be shy and our presence doesn’t help for sure.

Actually, after dinner the two of you could go to your room so you can make friends with each other.

Well no, I don’t think it has something to do with shyness. Even at home he’s always playing on that thing.

Mmm, anyway, speaking of rooms… You said that when we’ll move in here…

If! If you’ll move in here...

Riccardo!

If. If we will move in here…

You said that Claudio will have to share the room with Riccardo, isn’t it?

Dad?!

Riccardo!

It’ll be just temporary, until the room aside won’t be refurbished.

Anyway in your room there has always been a spare bed. It’s about time to start using it, isn’t it?

Yes, dad.

You know, I didn’t talk too, when my mom left.

Mmh, you must be deaf besides dumb then. Too bad!

Look, you’re not my friend nor even my brother.

When, sorry: if I’ll move in it will be just until my mother won’t be tired of fucking your dad and then we’ll go

as it was the time before and the time even before

So mind your bloody business and go back to your doodles.

You know, I know why you’re such a jerk.

Your parents divorced: do you want a price for the most unfortunate kid?

I’d say you’re just part of a majority.

My mother

didn’t just leave

like your father did

She died.

So, you can keep mourning over yourself

you can hate me…

Or we can try and be friends

At least until your mother won’t be tired of fucking my dad.

Hello! Welcome!

Hi, darling!

Darling...

Mum...

Mum...

Mum...

Mum...

I heard you wear moaning in your sleep last night.

Yeah it happens often.

Have you dreamed about your mother? I heard you were calling her…

Yeah it’s always the same nightmare

I run towards her but never get there

and the more I run the more she gets further.

The day after I usually lock myself in my room to draw

but I must admit that killing zombies is better

it helps venting my anger.

I cannot sleep

Bad dreams again?

Sorry, please

excuse me, don’t say to anyone.

Easy

we won’t say it to anyone.

So and then I tell her:

look Maria, you cannot keep on doing whatever you please on your workplace eh!

If that’s not ok for you, that’s the door…

You know what she did? Tail between her legs and back to the office.

Employees are no more like it once was my dear

I remember when we were young we used to be respectful towards our superiors.

It was a real hell of a day you know

Ah, and I didn’t mention when that Martinelli idiot came along

oh but what do I say it for!

When such things happen I really wish it was already time to retire...

Anyway, how was your day dear?

Mom

do you want some?

Dear?

Of course darling!

An, Claudio!

Today they finished painting your room

then they’ll build the furniture

so starting tomorrow night you’ll be able to sleep in your new room.

Ah...

Something’s wrong?

No, no. That’s great.

We must pay more attention now that…

Ssh... Don’t worry

they’ll all be sound asleep by now

Why do you draw naked men getting fucked by eagles?

Do you have some weird perversion for birds?

Idiot!

Come on, just joking!

First of all he’s not getting fucked by the eagle

I see it more like a symbol of protection

An embrace that makes the man capable of flying

just as if he had wings.

And then I don’t like you mocking my drawings, my mother thought me.

You never told me what happened to her

Breast cancer.

Is this her?

She seems beautiful

She was...

And you’re beautiful like her

Anyway you know, I see a lot of smudges…

I told you not to mock my drawings!

I mean, really!

Shut up! I draw like I please! Don’t make fun of my drawings!

Alright they’re birds, but if they’re blurred…

But what do you know?!

One might mistake them for something else, innit?

Shut up you’re only good at doing eye bandages!

You’re dashing!

Let me do it, you’re not able!

I can do it alone!

Come on...

Riccardo what are you doing here?

Seriously? My big bro is getting married in a week, I couldn’t miss it for nothing in this world

I’m not your brother.

Ah well, I know that perfectly… I!

Are you looking for troubles?

Come on… You know, I just can’t wait to see Elisa again…

What a lucky girl

I’ve always liked her

I look forward to spending all my Christmases with her

And your mother is so fond of her!

I’ve never seen her so nice with anybody

who knows why!

Stop it Riccardo!

After all though we both know it’s not going to last…

I told you to shut up!

…especially if you’re anything like your mother!
