If you do not like us do not eat!

Do not touch me, touch me not!

Where are they, eh? Where are they?

Leave me!

Damele now! Give me, I said!

I have them given to you, you have taken.

I ve data 100

When I arrived the check I gave $ 100 to any one of you.

If you take them you shoot them in the vein and we die of hunger!

They are my ...

Well I do not I have taken.

You are a liar

Give me now, you my stuff!

Dangerous!

Dangerous! We are hungry!

Leave me! Those we need to eat!

And 'why do you want? You know, I make the robe ...

I need ...

Seen, they repaired the lampposts

The robbers break them again

No, quiet

You see, your mother is sure, the water goes down ...

There is no water

You are wrong, you do not know what the aqueduct?

The aqueduct brought water to New York City Well, for over 100 years

Then they closed but now open

and there is water just below what drags your mother.

My father, you could sit on the couch and speak with him for hours

But you could not speak at length

Hey Jane!

He knew many things, always had the correct answers to quiz jeopardy.

He knew all the answers

Hey, watch where you are going!

This is the way

Parents are of your

I see them as an example of what that I found my long life

tended so little to my needs

and I feel that their needs was so strong

that I was neither angry nor suffering that is not me interessasero

In short, I said: must be the human condition that has become so

Then came reality

I have taken the husband Elisabeth I kill you!

No, Mom!

Did I understand you a favor, you are only a sick slut!

Help me clean Liz, see if this casino take away all of us!

No, noo! Outside my house!

Do not stories!

The window is broken

I threw out the cat

Let me stay, let me stay!

Why not try to take your medicine?

No, take

Just get a little Okay

E 'un vero schifo! What have you done here?

He took a knife!

I fell!

Careful hoo hoo!

Where's the phone? Non ce l'abbiamo.

This story must be solved and now

You two have only one alternative: give a cleaner to this post and help your mother!

Tell our father!

No no, you are a feminist.

I can go away or send via your parents.

Continue to skip school and here is a house that looks like a pigsty!

Where to go, come here, go back!

Go to school, you have idea how is done?

There are girls who beat you and that you steal everything you have!

You can not have anything of yours!

We do clean the bathrooms, does not work there if you do it here!

What happened?

Been back, been back!

There's nothing to watch

Mom!

mom

But I do not notice

and yet everyone could view it who suffered so much ...

His efforts were so visible but no one dreamed of understanding

It's not that if you rub it or not that was a good mother

was that now she no longer had anything to lose

Fammi winds with you!

Here's the task, I hope you've finished.

Well, take your places!

Hey that stinks!

But what ...

I was always the one that stinks in the classroom

Lisa has many benefits But Dad said that was supposed to marry a doctor if he had so many expectations

on the contrary I did not have any expectations, so ...

I scratched for lice, between the legs also mi prude

My teachers always told me not to get excited

My laundry ...

I did not know what to do with the linen

the bore until it is torn

Forza ragazzi, come back to place, the interval is over.

I had bad teeth,

I was hungry ...

The teachers are treating her not to touch me

And 'as if those words falling on the floor

Give me the test, it is unnecessary for you to do. No, I want to do it.

But if you're almost never came to class!

I want to do it ... does not seem difficult

OK ...

Liz, wait

Do you have a bad odor, Liz, not your mother tells you to ..

No, no ... it is my fault because I forgot

Well, tonight when you do shower remember to wash behind here

I have put aside a few things

Here ...

And this, but how did you do?

We've never in school

I read a lot

Well Encyclopedia

The lady of the upstairs, Eva, it was found in a box

is almost complete, in short ... R apart from the S

if the test there were questions between the R and S I have the wrong

Oh Liz, you have to come to school OK say seriously

you are too intelligent not to be here

I do not understand why we come. There will come.

How did a tell you that the school made me sad?

I did not know how to speak, I did not know how to talk to anyone.

My house was not a place where you can grow up and be normal.

If too many absences will have to call the social worker

and is not a threat, is a promise.

Eva, look what I got, thanks to your encyclopedia!

Brava, you must always take votes bei! Un'idiota not want to be ...

and keep hard, give me right now that your mother is back

My mother has returned?

Ah, we passed a couple of quiet months, is not it?

The good thing that my mother had been in hospital was that when he returned was my mother again

Cooked, slept, he began to study shorthand for the company in a while he was out of the community.

But then, the drugs appear ...

Mom ..

Are you OK? Yes, I'm good.

Sparrows, just six beautiful, you know?

I am happy that you are here

Sparrows

When I think of my life, this is the moment that I like to remember

when I went back into the life of my mother was lucid

Do not take drugs anymore and so the drugs schizophrenia were for effect

We went to the corner bar, sedevamo us to speak

and ate hamburgher, in short, we were together

even if he had weak eyes I think we could see

ie could see my side dishes,

and for a while I had my mother again

I remember, slide down the hill

the working board as if it were a sled

We still remember? Yes

And when you did the tickle Of course I remember, I do not remember precisely

Yeah, I was a good mother, is not so?

Sure Mom, you were good

Right

You know, I am pleased that we are all together now volio tell me, you and Lisa

Would not it be nice if Dad stop to take drugs?

Maybe we could go back to University Avenue

Here, well the fact is that now your father is at a shelter for homeless

I fear that we have lost the apartment

I mean, he never paid the rent, and so, you know ...

What happened to my stuff?

Been thrown

What? Even my encyclopedia?

Feel sparrows, I am sorry to die, but they put seals on doors and windows

In short, there was nothing we could do, is that you know, bad luck is something that happens I want to say ...

Listen, I had almost dimanticata that I have to go go around the corner to greet friends

We put only a minute okay? You finschii Meanwhile the hamburger

I, I .. torno subito, just stay away, promised

only a minute

It was just so, no more return

I was not able to maintain anything, I was only worsened things

at least if I were going to school ...

if only I had, if only I had ...

and so that part of my life was over

had begun a new hope ...

but I believe that I had my way I would have met

I was 15 years, I was doing ..

What is a house after all, a roof, a bed

A place where if you did you you do not take away

If so, then I had 15 years when I became a homeless

You have a coin? Go to work

Hello

mom

We made a collection

she no longer believes it that you take all the fun

is dead ... died yesterday morning

Sometimes I feel that there is a kind of skin beneath

I wish that those who are born in us can look through

but can not pass through

My mother was buried in 51 lot of the poor

My mother was inside them, the strangers had put the in the enclosure

was naked, scared ... no, had died just

Hurry, let's go No, a moment

What is the function, there should be a priest, is not that you use?

When one dies, the buried, everything here

E 'una donna ...

And it is my mother

There is the priest? Not in these cases, do not you know?

Ah so is dead, put underground

Priest or a priest, that mattered, if you had gone, and perhaps had already begun to rot

I'm sorry

and I had to believe that he had found Peace

Come with us?

Why do not you leave?

Hey, wait

Ok ..

So I leave here

Listen, the fact is that I can not I .. non ce la faccio pi� ... and then I leave here

Where?

In an institution

In a mental hospital ..

You know Lizzy, this is here, this is the lunatic asylum!

Come with me

Ok, see you around

People died, things are mixed up

everything that is apparently so solid becomes devoid of meaning

there remain only gestures we do

gestures in the air, this is what remains

I remember racing to my mother in the crowd,

I felt the warmth of his arms around me, when I was little, when she was good

but it was so long ago,

maybe it happened once

I was betrayed perhaps a hundred times but it does not matter, I have never been good at keeping accounts

them we choose our memories

Sign out of them!

Where do you put the tombstone?

No plaque, no space

Time a week and there would have been more track her

but that mattered, that was not the reality, the reality is only in our hearts

She lived in my heart, but I am not living anywhere, I was alone in the world

You have 16 years and the third media

and you are a prisoner of a spiral all sinks in worst place you have ever dreamed

There is nothing inside of you, you've exhausted every possible to be accepted

and all those who believe in you you set them repinti

Eva?

I do not want to be an idiot, I want to go to school

Yes Hello, I am Liz Murray, I have an appointment

The brochure says: broad participation Student Development of a community calendar

I just need a chance

You can wait to talk to Daniel, but a meeting immediately after

or I could make an effort, I could make an effort and make my life better

We'll let you know Friday. Ok, thanks E 'stato un piacere

In short, I do not know how to talk to you, here is still

My parents were, takes drugs, I do not want to like them, is as though I had lived their lives

Today is different, I feel confused and I do not understand many things

including why refused school and I stop at the third media

I did see the last week in time for exams, that's how I was brought

So who are intelligent, I can do it, .., I just need a chance

Those who live are so empty, tired, and are left to survive

But I know that there is an outside world that .. which is better, you see?

E. more developed. And is what I want to live

Why only now?

My mother died of AIDS a couple of months ago and for me was ...

So continue to keep eyes closed situations as a whole

and all those little things who contributed to make it as

Since my parents small I have never given much right, and this has allowed me

to realize that the little things that one day would be my person
