Original subtitles

Shall we get married? Yes.

You know I'm a wild dog? I know.

But I'm presumptuous and stubborn. Yes?

And I'm sure you'll return home very often.

You have faith we can still make love? And why not?

Sorry, it's about the house next door...

The agency said I can pick up the key here?

Do you want to see the house? No.

I've already rented it, but they told me that for the key...

Yes, we have it.

Is he dead?

Yes.

Don't you want to know?

He wanted to hurt you and you shot him.

I loved him.

Did you know?

Say something.

He laughed,

he didn't want to believe it.

He left me in a hurry, and he fell there...

Suddenly.

Didn't you think of me?

Don't you love me anymore?

Don't you have me loved?

Which one should I wear? The pink one with the white trim.

Found them?

Yes, I found them.

What is it about these sheets?

But I'm sure the gentleman knows. You're the usual gossip.

Like I don't know. At your age...

Eight days of bread and water.

Can't you think of anything else?

I won't say anymore, don't worry

After the years pass, and you become fat like me...

All I can do now is eat.

Oh, God! Dinner.

Need a hand?

No, I'll be right down...

I'm hungry.

I thought you'd forgotten. -Why?

With all the things you have to do.

What use is a secretary if she can't remember a wedding anniversary?

You're joking, but I bet that's what happened.

You laugh about it, did she tell you when you were in bed together?

I hope you're not jealous?

Yes. Of my secretary?

Of your work you're never home.

I warned you I'm a stray dog who loves his job.

What a brass neck.

In principal, though, you always found the time.

You were always stuck to my night dress.

Night dress?

Shall we go to bed? Yes.

Let me in.

And give me my clothes.

Give me my shoes.

Here's the first shoe. Second shoe.

Give me back my bag. And the bag!

I hate you.

Who do you think you are?

Not even a whore would want to be with you.

Well? What's wrong?

It's not like I'm going to fight in a war.

When are you coming back? Saturday.

I promise I'll stay for a while, I'll send someone else.

I'm sorry about last night,

I didn't notice I'd fallen asleep.

I love you. Me too.

Hurry to come back.

But he's destroying the garden, dear god...

What do you mean you can't do anything?

The other residents agree with me.

He's ruining the neighbourhood, there must be something...

Aren't there any clauses? Yes, yes...

They can do what they want to the garden

What kind of regulations are these?

And he behaves badly, very badly.

He has women turning up at all hours of the night.

Outside as well.

And naked, if it interests you?

Of course I'll call the police.

Hello?

It's you, my love.

Nothing, I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me.

No, I didn't feel like going to the cinema.

I've been in bed since ten.

No, I'm fine.

I have a slight headache.

What are you doing? When are you coming back?

But...

...you said you'd stay for...

Yes, I understand.

Yes, my love. Okay.

Sure, I know it's very important for you.

Yes.

I'll wait for you. My love!

Come back soon.

Come back soon.

Why didn't you tell me.. I did.

How could I?

And you didn't understand. These things should be discussed.

These things shouldn't be said.

And when the time comes to ask... It's too late.

Don't you think?

Damned things.

Damned things. Cut it out, you.

Dogs these days.

Just look at that.

He's nuts, he really is nuts.

There's someone in the garden.

Don't move.

Damned things.

It's hard to know what you have to do with these strange cars

I was worried the battery would go flat.

I saw the lights on and I didn't want to disturb you.

I just couldn't find the right button!

Did I wake you? No.

No. Thank you.

Do you feel how cold it is? Seems like February.

And you're going around like that? You've got a cough.

It's not the cold, it's the cigarettes.

Damned things.

And some of us are hot.

With all those bottles he leaves lying around.

I'm going to finish my tour.

They should use labels in that car.

Yes, you're right. What about when you're driving?

You can't remember all of them. Good day.

What time is it? Four.

Five? I don't know.

Perhaps no one heard the shot? The doorman didn't mention it.

I should get dressed.

What do people do in these situations?

Do you call? Or go...

...to the police? There's still time.

I think I'm the first person around here to notice what's happened.

What do you want to know? Everything.

It wouldn't serve any purpose. I will decide that.

Why do you want to suffer? Because it matters.

Yes?

It started by chance.

You were away and I felt lonely. That's no justification.

I know. My mother waned for my father...

...for four years, during the war.

I don't think he ever did anything bad to her.

But you're nothing like your mother. Right.

Right.

The solitude weighed heavily on me.

Even if I did everything to not let it get to me.

Then I found that note.

'Thanks for the wonderful trip, kisses, Laudra'

It needed a clean up. It took a while for you to notice.

No, I noticed straight away, but I don't like being told what to do.

You take but you don't give back, eh'?

Don't you feel cold? I'm used to it.

Have you been to the north pole? Regina Caeli, but it's the same thing.

You've been to prison?

It's not difficult.

With a bit of goodwill you can go there yourself.

Whenever you want. How?

Does it mean a lot to you?

For a fine woman like you, it's not recommended.

You just need two grams of grass.

Hash or marijuana, I imagine?

My compliments, I see the middle classes have made some progress.

Do you still smoke that stuff'? Me? No, no.

Prison is too cold and damp, I don't like it.

Come on, let's go.

Massimo.

Shall I call a doctor? No, no.

But why? What did they want from you'?

You saw them, I asked for it.

Women.

So you're spying on me? No, I saw you.

I must have put on a show more than once for you.

But mine are more authentic than the ones you import from Denmark...

To overcome the boredom.

You're hurting me.

Drink.

I have to go now.

I love you.

You scare me.

But how? Don't you know love is a middle class feeling?

Wrong, middle class people don't have feelings.

You mean you did it on purpose?

Because of that stupid note that didn't mean anything.

No No, ha.

Don't tell me it was love. Don't tell me you loved him.

Anyone can be good for certain things.

Is that what you really think? Love is something else.

What is it A telephone?

Didn't you ever think about what I was doing here, alone?

When you weren't here. The boredom, day after day...

Waiting for you.

The thoughts that come to you.

My desires. You're depraved.

Right.

Right, my mother waited for four years.

But my father couldn't come back. Nor can I.

It's not true, you could come back.

But between me and work, you chose work.

You preferred to dedicate everything to it.

And me?

How can the wife of a successful man complain?

Don't think...

it was a stupid thing. What was it then'?

The fear.

Was he blackmailing you? I wasn't scared of him.

But maybe you can't understand.

This is nuts! Have they killed the pig?

Why? Sorry.

Did you cut yourself? The drill.

I promised my wife I'd work on the garage.

I'm sorry, but its not good for you.

You see you shouldn't be using a drill...

You're an engineer, not a drillist. A driller.

Like I was saying, you're the educated one.

Goodbye and sorry for disturbing you. Good day.

We need to clean, there's blood everywhere.

Massimo.

Massimo, are you in the house?

Look at that, he left all the lights on.

Mr. Massimo?

What's the point'?

They'll arrest you as well.

I'm calling the police. I said no.

Are you doing this for me, or your career?

What kind of paintings are they?

This guy even puts colours in his soup, I'm telling you.

He's nuts.

I always said he's nuts.

Sure, someone who paints pictures like that.

You've outlived your lover.

It's better that way.

They'll never be able to find the pistol.

What are you going to do?

We'll see when it gets dark.

He must have had a certain vitality...

To meet your needs.

You chose well.

My Love.

But why did you start using again'?

I never stepped.

I really wanted to stop.

You promised me.

Yes, yes, I promised you.

Do you remember that night...

The first time you came here.

Yes, I remember.

It wasn't about women.

They wanted to be sure I'd start using again.

They thought I stopped in prison.

But you didn't'?

But I did.

But I wasn't expecting anything except to be convinced of the opposite.

Why?

Because if I don't take drugs, I can't hold a paintbrush.

And this doesn't disgust you? What?

Such an artificial approach. Why?

I use what's mine, I always pay from my pocket.

Then why did you want kill yourself?

Because it still disgusts me.

The harder you to try to get out...

The deeper you fall into this world of shit.

He's the one who wants those paintings.

He always gives the orders.

It's easy to blame others.

You'll never understand.

Because you're one of them as well.

He had excluded me. all of a sudden.

He had returned to his solitary world.

After giving me what you didn't give me anymore.

And it wasn't just something physical. It was...

the recklessness...

...the freedom.

The illusion of always being twenty.

When you and I travelled for an entire day...

To meet half way, rather than be together.

For an hour, at least.

Here she is. It's her!

Right, she came for the orgy.

Make yourself comfortable.

Smoke?

That's expensive stuff.

Won't you get undressed? We'll help you.

You won't regret it.

Go and smoke as well.

Undress her.

How did you do it?

In the kitchen.

A cigarette burn?

I touched the stove, yesterday.

Why don't you let Elsa do such things?

Am I fired? Why?

Why the third degree?

What's wrong with you?

Me? Nothing.

Do you want to come with me?

To wait for you in a hotel?

You might like.

You've never been to Stockholm.

Will you come?

No.

If you want to end this, why don't you hang up?

We're all so keen to see you.

We can't see you by the window, what are you doing'?

You're missing out. Look.

Can you hear us at least? Can you hear us?

Say something. I'm kissing her.

Look, Eileen here now as well. Come on.

Come down. Go on.

Are you still there?

I made a bet with Eileen, she says no...

But I'm sure you'll return to me, and on my terms.

Soon. I'm right, aren't I?

On my terms.

Are you going to continue using that stuff?

Yes.

It only makes you hate more.

If the world is so full of hatred, as you say...

You can't win with hate.

You only ever think about love, it's all bullshit.

It doesn't exist, like god doesn't exist.

We invent them because we need to.

And we're cowards.

You tell me you loved me once.

Yes, and I believed it.

Didn't you say the same thing to your husbance once, no?

Have you forgotten?

And you believed it, when you said it.

So you think I'm here for... Pleasure?

It's perfectly natural.

Haven't you seen a cat in heat?

Hi Kitty.

What are you doing? Not answering now'?

Have you become mute?

Kitty, we're coming.

Kitty!

You shouldn't have hung up the phone, you forced us to come to you.

I don't want to see you anymore. What?

It's already over?

I didn't know how to get rid of you before...

Now you talk about love!

You are drunk. Yes, I am drunk.

But I still want to know. What is love?

Man's consolation on earth?

Do you hear them? Nice words.

Your scent has arrived in the house...

The cat in heat is being persued by all the other cats.

Let go of me.

Let go of me, coward.

Feel like it, kitty?

All for one and one for all.

Enough.

Go on, shoot.

You're loaded on that stuff.

It would be self defense, shoot.

Perhaps you're thinking of how to tell your husband?

Go away.

Don't worry about him, I bet he knows everything.

We'll just embarrass him a little.

Yes, it's true.

I knew.

I also saw you one night...

In each others arms.

That's why you shot him.

Because he had told you the truth.

You drift love me enough, to not stand for another man.

I loved you a lot. -Well then?

Don't tell me that for your work. Why not? It was my work.

For ambition.

Work is a drug as well.

The more you dedicate to it, the less you notice how conditioned you're becoming.

At a certain point...

It takes you in a frenzy, you feel weightless.

You think that for all the rest...

There will be time later.

Then you find yourself old and fed...

...all of a sudden.

In certain things...

You also accept the subsitute.

Don't run like that, Fiffi.

Don't run. Come here, Fiffi.

Where are you going? I told you to come here.

Do you hear me? I said come here.

Come here. What are you doing under there?

Come here.

Please, Fiffi. Come here.

What have you got in your mouth? Give it here.

Damn it.

Don't make me run.

I'll move the car, we'll put it round the back.

Antonio, I... Later.

Put it in reverse and give it some gas.

I'll try to push it.

Need a hand'?

No, thanks. It's not going to start.

Try to put something underneath.

I'll try now, thanks.

Two people need to push. We already tried.

You and me and the lady in the car.

No, thank you.

Don't go out of your way. Heavens no.

I'm not going out of my way, not at all.

Good evening, lady.

We'll be able to do it together.

No, Pasquale. In this cold?

No, I have to make it up to you for this morning.

Get In.

Come on.

Push, push.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, lady.

Where Is he?

His music.

He always played that record.

I'll send for my things tomorrow...

I should have realised earlier that it wasn't the right place for me.

I woke up a few hours ago, under the car.

I was so drunk last night.

Maybe it would've been better if that bullet didn't just scrape me...

For me, I mean.

Anna, maybe you were right.

I believe that thing does exist.
