A Quiet Life Page #3

Chef!

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

Tie your hair back,

you're disgusting.

Biebesheim. As for the murder

of Michael Richter,

investigators are still searching

for new clues.

The head of WEV

was found dead yesterday afternoon

near the incinerators...

- Watching TV.

- What do you understand?

Get Rosario to translate for you.

Next month,

Michael Richter would have signed

an agreement for the disposal of

20,000 tons of refuse from

Campania.

Did he say anything?

Was it fun for him?

Cut the sh*t!

We gave him a good show.

Want me to wash yours?

No.

It's disgusting,

you never wash your underwear.

I don't understand you.

When can we meet?

I want to give you a gift.

Rosario, not happy me and you.

What do you care about Rosario?

- Did you like it?

- Yes.

- You were with Rosario yesterday?

- Yes.

Where?

Business, I needed a lift.

Are you taking me to the pool?

Dad is.

Do you have another coin?

- Why do you wear those?

- To go under water.

- Like girls do.

- How do you do it?

Come on, I'll show you.

You didn't take Mathias to the pool.

I know, I'll go now.

His course is at 3,

you can't take him at 5.

Diego took him.

He was bored, so I gave him

your trunks, was I wrong?

No.

Then why are you so tense?

I'm not tense.

Want to take a swim too?

I'll wait for you outside,

make it fast.

Wait for me in the car.

- When are you leaving?

- I don't know.

- What the f***'s that mean?

- When we can.

You're leaving tomorrow, clear?

I can't go crazy.

Know what I'm doing?

I'm writing to Boris.

Her name's Doris.

She makes me laugh,

because I don't understand her.

We can't stay here anymore.

- Are you listening?

- Talk.

Rosario wants us to leave.

As if we liked staying here!

Tell him as soon as we can,

we'll be off his ass.

You don't get it, he's nuts,

he might even call the cops.

The cops?

Rosario might call the cops?

You said he was cool!

What happened?

Aren't you friends anymore?

- I think you're zonkers.

- Where are you going?

Come in.

Can I?

Come on in.

I'd like to ask a favor.

Could you translate this?

Is it for Doris?

I'll put it in her letter box.

I know who you are.

You're Antonio De Martino.

Antonio De Martino is dead.

He's dead, huh?

I thought so too, but it seems

he escaped to Germany

and opened a nice restaurant.

Antonio, relax!

I've always respected

people like you,

always.

Let's do this, I won't tell anyone,

not even Diego,

but we've all got to stay calmer,

more relaxed,

because nothin' happened.

We'll stay another two days.

Is that a problem for you?

Not at all.

My first day of work,

the matre takes me by the ear:

"In here, you see nothing,

you hear nothing".

- He did right!

- Wait.

You have to know what it means

to work at the Danieli.

One slip and they kick you out.

Three days later the matre

grabs my ear again

and says:
"Here's the dwarf".

He was a real dwarf, maybe about 40.

"Take him to the suite".

A real sultan was in the suite!

As I take the dwarf to the suite,

I wonder what he's going for,

maybe some game

with the sultan's wives.

I get to the suite...

the doors open, and I see

the sultan, his wives

and a rug spread out

with cushions all around,

a sort of ring.

In the ring, two of the sultan's

sons in their underwear

who've begun a sort of wrestling

with the dwarf.

They sure beat on him!

The dwarf was trying to run...

The Arabs do these things.

The Arabs have nothing

to do with it.

It's the hotel that makes you

do strange things!

He didn't even know how to cook then.

Zero, couldn't do a f***ing thing.

So they have him do deliveries,

cleaning, crap stuff.

Everything they said to do, he did.

He worked twenty hours a day,

mute, he was learning.

When we met,

his wife and son had just died.

I don't know if you know that.

- A car crash.

- Did you know that?

Yes.

How did it happen?

Chef, we're talking about you.

I was telling about

when we were on the Baltic.

He ate berries,

couldn't even boil an egg.

Now what a cook!

Tell them you ate berries.

Later, we were in Hamburg

a couple of years.

We worked in the restaurant

of an old man from Palermo, Sergio.

I learned he's still alive.

He's still alive!

- What's the matter?

- Nothing!

The wine's finished,

come choose the one you like.

Watch your step.

Choose whatever you like.

There are German wines,

French...

Italian.

Italian, French, German...

I don't understand about wine.

You pick it.

You're here!

Yeah.

Pastor Bauer is dying,

his wife needs to get to the clinic.

You go, please.

I can't do everything,

I'm exhausted, I want to sleep.

Alright, I'll go.

Thank you.

I'm going to the hospital, come with

me, I have to talk to you.

You're a priest, aren't you?

Now that you're dying,

you can talk to the Lord.

I've killed lots of times

and He knows it.

He also knows I'd repented.

I'd given up everything,

my family, people's respect, my son.

I stayed hidden for 15 years,

He gave me a new life.

You have to ask Him why

He's come to take it back.

Ask Him that.

I already know why anyway.

He doesn't give a f***

about helping people.

Eduardo found me out.

- What?

- He told me.

That's impossible.

It's not your fault,

I made the mistake.

I should have made you think

I was dead too.

I'll talk to him

and we'll leave tomorrow.

Eduardo are you here?

What did you do?

There's a bucket and rag back there.

Don't use too much detergent,

or you'll make a mess.

Get moving.

Go to Hamburg tomorrow, see Sergio

at the "White Horse" restaurant.

I'll speak to him first.

Tell him you need a job

and a new document.

Never call anyone, I'll call you.

Toss your cell phone

and stay in Hamburg for a year.

Shave, grow your hair

and change jobs after a year.

Don't trust anyone,

especially Italians.

Avoid them.

Make no friends,

work, go to bed early,

you have to become a ghost.

Leave tomorrow, if it all goes well,

you'll have a peaceful life.

I love you.

Claudio, what's this music?

Good morning.

What is it?

Your Italian friends have gone?

Yes, last night.

I had a date with Eduardo,

did he say anything to you?

No.

Don't you have anything to do?

Yes, forgive me.

If you should hear...

Claudio, turn that music off!

Is Mathias with you?

No.

Mathias, are you here?

He's not in his room it's school time.

Mathias, we're late.

Come here!

Right now!

What's going on?

Did you look in the kitchen?

Claudio hasn't seen him.

He's not in his room.

I told you he's not.

He's not in the yard.

Who are you phoning?

Quiet.

The police?

No.

I'm calling Diego.

Why?

Why are you calling Diego?

Why?

Is Mathias with you?

Is he with Diego?

Mathias is with Diego?

Let me talk to him.

Dad's coming to get you.

But will you promise me something?

Do everything Diego tells you.

Understand?

Good boy.

I love you.

It's all okay, he's with Diego.

With Diego?

Why always do what Diego says?

Why's he with Diego?
