Block-notes di Habemus Papam Page #5

South America, Africa,

-...Europe B and Oceania.

- But there are just three of us!

Oceania is just three?

Too bad!

That means you get

experience this time, then,

if you're good to the faithful in the coming

years, there will be more of you...

...at the next Conclave. 4, 5, 6...

Do you see why it's better

to do a round-robin tournament...

...and not a direct elimination?

- Professor, we don't understand.

- I can tell.

But it's okay, just don't get mad.

I won't get mad.

The more games, the more time we give

the Holy Father to get back on his feet.

Never underestimate the support...

...he recieves in feeling

surrounded by this energy,

this fighting spirit.

Here what I say:
I'd even tend towards

a double round-robin tournament.

No! Double round-robin, no!

We'd die!

Come on, Giulio!

It's true!

Mommy knows him, it's okay.

I thought about it, it's true,

I've never really felt well.

But I've done many things in my life.

- Yes.

- I've even done some good.

Why can't I do anything anymore?

Can we talk later?

I'm taking the kids to school.

Yes, talk to you later.

Me too.

Mommy, was that your boyfriend?

No way!

It was Leonardo, my colleague.

- Giulio told me you have a boyfriend.

- Not true, I didn't tell you anything.

- You're an idiot!

- It's true!

- You say it every night, I can't stand it!

- Big mouth!

Your classmates say so too:

you're a big mouth!

- You're stupid!

- Stop it!

Or I'll drop you right here

and you'll have to walk to school.

You're a stinky girl!

Bird-brain!

That's enough!

- Creep!

- But he...

Enough, I want no more.

- Did you hit the girls when

you were little? - Sure, of course.

See?

- This black dragon, with trees

covered in lava... - Nice.

Here's the two-headed dragon phase,

like he was divided.

The two volcanoes:

one good and one bad.

- This is him in the dragon's jaws.

- That's nice!

- Nice? It's monstrous!

- No, look. It's very nice.

Do you think he knows Carlo

and I have problems?

What do you think,

should I leave my husband?

Please, pay no attention to me.

I'm not sitting here,

I'm in my apartments.

- It's not true I'm an actor.

- No?

I wanted to be, but I didn't

make it to the Academy.

- I failed the audition.

- I'm sorry. - Thank you.

They were right, I was no good.

But they took my sister.

See, very strong,

he gets four points.

That was a wide-angle shot.

He's trying to shoot...

Point for South America!

We're not the casual,

senseless product of evolution.

- Point for Africa! - We're each

the fruit of a thought of God.

No, Gregori.

That's the terrible beauty of Darwinism.

Terrible:
no sense in life.

No consolation.

Point for Europe B!

Europe B ?Oceania: 10 - 0.

The other one is more exciting

because it's more competitive.

South America to serve.

Africa - 8, South America - 6.

Oceania - 0...

...Europe B - 11.

Point for South America.

South America to serve!

Point for Europe B. Oceania!

The Holy Father!

Too bad, it was such

an interesting case for me!

But now I know who he is,

I can't do anything for him.

Who knows how he feels?

Let's get back to it!

Let's get back!

Europe B and South

America to serve.

Point for Africa!

Ball!

Serve!

Change!

- Change!

- Change.

Ribeck, Schinkel, you seem tired.

Scipioni and Bollati, you're in!

- Me? - Yes.

- No, no...

I don't feel like it.

Cardinal Cruz, again!

Time out!

I've told you:
when you are there...

...raise yout hands to hit the ball.

- I can't do it.

- Of course you can!

Serve!

- Europe B and Africa to serve.

- We can win!

Concentrate!

- Anyway you're lucky, you won't

go to Hell. - Good news...

Point for South America!

No one will, Hell is deserted.

Point!

A comeback!

Point for Oceania!

Europe B - 16, Oceania ?1!

Let us welcome the word

that God gives us today.

His words are for those of us...

...who carry in our hearts

desires, dreams, plans,

but also worries,

problems and fears.

Of all the things, maybe what

frightens us are these new times,

.

the unprecedented situation,

the waiting,

the length of which is unknown,

but which asks us for a new heart,

a new answer which God himself

suggests in these words:

humility, the wisdom

to realize that we need God.

We need His forgiveness,

His patience.

We need to show our wounds to Him,

because He is the only one

who can heal them.

Holy Father,

we're behind in everything.

You haven't yet indicated

the start of the new Pontificate.

We understand how you feel,

but you remember,

how, in years past,

our beloved Pontiff, even

when he was seriously ill,

continued his pastoral commitment.

Of course, we can't allow

more time to pass.

In fact, I brought you

several sketches...

...for the Pontificate coat of arms.

Here they are.

Do any appeal to you?

- This one. - This one?

- No, this one.

It's simple, I think it's right.

- Are you sure?

- No.

Holiness, you were right.

You had to reflect, be by yourself,

but now I beg you, do an act

of obedience to the Lord.

Come back to us.

A billion people are waiting for you.

Can't we make me vanish?

I disappear.

All this never happened,

no one has ever seen me.

No one will ever see me again,

I promise you.

Let me go away, please.

No, guys!

You must be kidding! Stop!

You can't do this to me!

We have to play the two semifinals!

Then the winners...

The Holy Father is watching us.

It's not right to leave him

without a winning team.

It's not right!

Pescardona! Are you saying

it was all useless?

South America is in the semifinals,

you're the tournament's revelation!

You're in the semifinals!

- Let's play this semifinal!

- Professor, there's no more time.

Why there's no more time?

Good morning.

Thank you for responding

to my invitation,

but the situation

has become very serious.

I can no longer be silent.

No doubt I made a mistake.

I take full responsibility

for what I've done.

I tried, for the good of all,

to resolve a very difficult situation.

But in so doing, I lied to you.

The Pope hasn't been here

with us for three days.

He has gone.

I know where he is.

I ask you to forgive me.

It's my fault so much time

has passed.

The moment has come

for all of you...

...to make a decision.

Forgive me once again.

Is anyone against this proposal?

Thank you.

In favor?

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Thank you!

Food poisoning, really nothing.

Food poisoning,

a negligible episode.

- What did they put in that omelet?

- I don't know. - Food poisoning.

- Nothing serious.

- Thank you, Dario. - Thank you.

- Why do you wear black all the time?

- I'm in mourning for my life.

- I'm unhappy.- Why? You're healthy.

Your father, although he's not rich,

is quite well off.

I'm more miserable than you.

I'm paid 23 rubles a month.

I'm paid 23 rubles a month

and they take pension deductions.

Still I don't wear mourning.

Quiet!

Money doesn't matter.

Money doesn't matter.

Even a poor man can be happy...
