- Here, have some more.
- Please no, I'm full.
Eat- Some more meat will be good for you!
Come on, have some more. You're such a paleface, my son!
You really gave that poor man the shits today
when you appeared with his coffee!
Even I was scared!
Careful, dont be so stealthy. Make some noise before appearing.
You frighten them way too much!
I came when you called me.
I have my own ways to call for help when I need it, right?
He was asking for too many details.
Some family entanglements I knew nothing about...
...lucky that you came at the right time!
It's easier with coffee.
He wanted to know everything about each card...
...but he's a good customer.
To think he owns three appliance stores!
With all the troubles he's into
he's going to return here pretty often.
He's such a drag...
Anyway, one's got to respect rich people.
Some of them pay without a second thought,
no matter the price.
They ask for nothing in particular;
Just to hear someone talk about them.
It makes them look pretty vacant.
How badly some of them get frightened...
During a 'magnetic' session,
there's always someone shitting themself.
Many of those coming today are doomed.
Doomed? What do you mean by that?
In the group this morning
there is one man who will die soon...
...in a certain sense he is already dead.
And about that woman with the flower dress-
She will give birth to a deaf mute child
within six months.
That man which had the coffee is
ferociously hated by his own family.
Someone will bite his little child one day,
and the truth will finally be revealed.
How can you know these things?
Don't interfere with the lives of our clients.
I beg you, don't interfere!
I beg you, it can be HELL!
We've got to draw dad's retirement.
I'm busy now, with all this work.
I'll do that.
God it's late! I've still got to buy something to eat!
Today I cooked some real tasty boiled stew!
My family hates that! It's so difficult
finding some good meat, nowadays!
I also love cooking a good risotto!
Ah risotto, yes- that's tasty!
Here, what a scent huh?
Ah, good.
How on earth can you ignore that?
It's the most organic authentic one...
Damn, I can't recall the name but i remember the tune:
It goes, 'taa taaa taaa'...
Sure, now I remember!
What the hell is that god damn clerk doing?
Haste makes waste!
- Let me go! Leave me! I'm innocent!
- why are they taking him?
What was he guilt of?
He's a crook.
A fake disabled worker...
Yet his arm was missing for real!
What matters is how he lost it!
An arm may well be worth nothing!
Still he's maimed, poor soul!
Death to the government, long live anarchy!
- What's this good for, now?
- It applies, trust me.
Please, keep the queue.
I want to go home, my back hurts...
Listen. I told him he couldn't make it.
Be kind sonny, try for me.
I ripped them off!
I'm not disabled, it's a trick!
but what about you? who's the holder of your cheque?
My father.
Disabled?
No, he died five years ago.
How?
Working at the subway.
So many fell victims of those damned pigs!
Where are you taking me? Get your hands off me!
Pigs! Sons of b*tches! C*nts! Pigs!
Mom! My back!
My baaaack!
Yes, yes...
Gosh, you're filthy! Where did you get so dirty?
We've got to hurry. I'm filled with appointments.
Tell me, did father die in the gallery,
or did they bring him outside still alive?
They brought him out still alive.
He died as soon as he saw daylight.
And who carried him out?
His comrades.
He had a whole lot of friends, didn't he?
He always had many. Everyone liked him down in the gallery.
How did that go exactly?
I told you that a million times now.
He was run over by a train while fixing rails.
After a while you can't hear anything down there, they say.
Who knows, maybe he was abscent-minded
or concerned about something.
Poor soul- he deceived himself believing that
he could make it just by working!
But we were short of money all the time.
Maybe he was just concerned about money
when he was hit by the train...
Heavens, we were really poor...
worse than when we left our village for the city!
Come on, stand up.
But from now on we'll be in straits no more!
If things continue like this soon we can buy
a sumptuous flat in an affluent neighborhood!
but we need to gather more rich clients before that.
We already got some fat ones, but we need more of them.
All the rest are penniless rabble.
Get out now.
Mmm, you smell good now!
Come on, dry off or you'll catch a cold.
I'm going for your clean clothes.
Do you know if donkey teeth have power?
I'm clueless! In fact I know very little of the Arts.
My mother, on the other hand- your grandma,
she was a truly great witch!
She knew how to pay back people
with some eerie tricks, when she wished to.
Sure she knew how to make donkeys fly!
Or maybe those things happened just because of
our hot southern sun, country herbs, plants...
...some animals too, but who knows?
or maybe even because of whole genuine foods,
cheese, bread, milk... pure oil!
Damn, what time is it?
Get dressed, quick! It's our guests!
No, don't leave me alone!
Oh John, come back! John, come to me!
...back, come back!
You won't see him.
but He will come and touch you with his hands.
He will purify your waste...
...wipe away your fear and sorrow.
You won't be able to see him...
but you'll feel him in your body,
as I did when I conceived and generated him.
He's truly the blood of my blood,
...offered by me to heal all of your woes.
My son!
I can walk.
I feel tired, and the road...
...the road is way too long.
they're over...
I'm exhausted, exhausted.
I've no more strength left...
...I just can't stand this any longer.
What's going on?
I woke up. Can't sleep.
I'm frightened.
Come here. Here with me.
I was afraid as well, a moment ago...
because of you!
Why were you so mean to our guests today?
Because they're insincere. They disguise themselves.
...and one of them was an informer, for sure.
Don't talk such nonsense! You'll just scare clients away!
They will come back, trust me...
Move close to me, let's sleep. Let's sleep.
Good afternoon, please come in.
I've already been there once...
I remember that. Make yourself at home.
I'll take care of this.
Please come, come.
Won't you have a seat? Are you afraid?
Surely not, of course.
I'm simply a bit concerned...
You know, I'm seeking some resolution...
Not about me, to be honest...
I need to know if certain decisions will be made.
'cause you see, my life...
Sure sure dear girl, but don't tell me all.
Please show me your hands.
Rest your hands here.
Relax them.
It's the first time that you've had them read, right?
Yes, first time.
I knew that. They're untouched.
Each line... where a contact is,
there is a positive mark.
The mark is repeated.
I wouldn't worry, if I were in your place.
Everything will happen according to your wishes.
Your hands are very clear.
