The only adverse forces are within yourself.

But this is not a bad thing,

it's a sign of inner depth.

The lines of head and heart are separated.

Thoughts are thorny. Your heart doesn't get near them.

Thorns keep your heart at a safe distance.

In the battle between mind and heart, heart wins.

Did you know that there's a man much in love with you?

But it is not a straightforward love...

...and it's all your fault. Didn't you realize this?

I'm engaged. I'm just about to marry.

If this is what you are concerned about,

I can assure you that this marriage

isn't facing any external obstacles.

More than this- you'll soon have a child.

I am sure of this.

There are still many things waiting to be discovered.

Let's query the tarot.

Queen of swords...

The Sun...

Strength.

and here you have the Lovers.

You won't be without love.

I will be deep and profound love.

You'll have a child.

Here we can see confirmation. An angel.

The tarot have spoken.

Is it certain? Is there a way to be sure of this?

...that he will actually marry me?

Can I have something that will grant this?

Can't you give me that?

Yes it's possible, but it's a dangerous thing to try.

...won't be easy to do.

You're making a talisman, aren't you?

Yes, it's for a girl who's about to marry.

She will marry tomorrow- Lend me a hand.

But this is salt!

What did you expect?

And this is sawdust!

And there are dried peas too...

for that stupid girl. She wants it whatever the cost.

It's just useless rubbish!

Of course...

What do you want for dinner?

I'm not hungry.

It's you! can't you sleep?

Sleep with me.

What's wrong with you?

Hold still! don't move! don't move!

I want a REAL talisman! You know the secret!

You must tell me what it takes!

What are the ingredients?!

I don't know! I don't know!

Liar! You must've known in order to generated me!

How did you conceive me otherwise?

You have to tell me! Confess all of your secrets!

I know nothing... I know nothing!

Liar! You gave birth to me!

You know everything! Tell me the elements!

I want a powerful talisman !

I don't know! I don't know!!!

I swear this!

I can't reveal these things!

It would unleash Hell!

I want this! you must tell me!

END OF PART ONE:

PART TWO:

Hey! You!

Hey! What are you doing here?

who's he?

- I don't know that one.

- Isn't he poor Tarantino's son? Looks just like him!

- Why would he come into this hell?

- That was him, trust me!

Call him, then.

- Tarantino!

- See? He didn't answer. Back to work!

There, that's all. The tarots have nothing more to tell.

Refrain from adding details not belonging to this matter.

Be content with my plain, simple words.

I'm willing to return your money if you wish.

But I'm afraid to fail- I'm scared.

I need assurance and you can give me that.

Give me what you promised, please!

Don't talk so loud!

Avoid being heard!

Take this then.You asked for it.

No, don't touch it!

Maybe you can still escape from this.

I didn't manufacture it myself...

I don't know what it can bring to you.

I'm scared to death too.

Remember, there are things in life that no one can control.

I warned you! Leave this home now, go away! Go!

Why did you come here again?

I urgently need your advice.

That's fine, come in. You know you're always welcome here.

Make yourself at home.

What do you need to know now?

Did you know that we fixed the date of our wedding?

Next month on the 15th.

We're about to buy our house and all the furniture.

I'm happy at last.

I want to know what will happen to me

during these days I longed for so much.

I want to know day by day.

Mario!

We'll place the bar cabinet here,

the armchair here, and here the table.

It's a lovely villa!

What do you think about papering the walls darling?

Some fine wallpaper...

With stripes in gradients of soft colors.

Won't that be too expensive?

That would be lovely though.

A truly impressive house.

I filled out the list of guests...

Guess how many? About 35!

Our invitations went fairly well.

I believe we got a good bargain here.

It is a great flat, isn't it darling?

Let's get married right away. No more waiting.

I'm frightened.

Which company dispatched you here?

Everything all right?

Excuse me!

It's him! Catch him, he's the one! Catch him!

Catch him! Come on!

Where did you go?

I've been waiting for you all day long!

Strolling around here and there...

I had some fun!

Careful, go easy with that...

Something could happen to you.

There's nothing to worry about...

I am invisible.

stupid fool!

Together we're awesome... they are scared shitless!

- Let me guess:
you're looking for building C flat 26, right?

- Yes, precisely.

You're going the wrong way.

You have to go down, cross the courtyard...

go upstairs to the fourth floor,

and then fall headlong! Fall! Fall! Fall!

What shall we do now?

Why not going hunting for...

Rheumatism is plaguing me again.

My back hurts all over.

Let me do that.

Pay attention- don't hurt me, got it?

Heavens, I'm exhausted- all those clients...

Of course.

I took good care of this...

I put signals everywhere.

- It hurts?

- No, go on.

- Like this?

- Yes.

Just go up.

know what? That little stupid girl is pregnant.

Really? How did you know?

She dropped in today crying like a fountain.

Not to mention how much she begged.

Did you accept?

What else could I do?

I took pity on her. She is so stupid.

Then we'll need to arrange everything...

and ask some people over!

Sure that you won't chicken out?

Won't back out at the last minute?

No.

Lie down.

Silence please!

Someone's at the door.

Can't you hear? Answer it!

- Leave me alone! Out of my way! hands off!

- How old is she? She looks just like a child!

Would you announce me to the lady?

She's in the kitchen, she asked to be left alone.

It's an urgent delivery- what's she doing?

No one knows anything here,

we're all just waiting...

The bones...

The bladder, the liver, the veins...

The lungs, the diaphragm, the muscles...

The arteries, the right side, the left side...

the right eye, the throat, the kidneys, the thighs

The feet, the arms, the hands, the tongue,

the nerves, the ligaments, the brain...

The head, the neck, the shoulders,

the arms, the chest, the lungs

the tongue, the stomach, the liver,

the heart, the nerves...

May I take a look?
