Facing Windows
THE WINDOW IN FRON
You've been weird since we left
the market, what's wrong?
Nothing! Does there have to be
something wrong?
We've been out for an hour
and you haven't said a word!
We got the groceries, came
downtown and you're silent!
If you're mad at me, say so.
Stop wearing that face
I'm not making a face, you're
the one who's always pissed off
Let's go over there
If I'm mad I don't shut up
and hold it in like you!
Oh sure, you're always right,
I forgot
I'm not always right,
but I am this time
Come on, you like to fight
You could stick up for me
just once!
You made a scene because she
cut into the line
- But she was ahead of us!
-When I tried to apologize,
she jumped on me like a maniac
and you kept quiet!
What was I supposed to do?
You don't see the face you make
when I talk to people
- You're ashamed of me
- What are you talking about?
You were screaming. Even the
cashier said you were wrong
Did you see how she pointed
that pencil at me?
Yes, but you didn't need
Okay, maybe I went too far.
Then she asked the Romanian
if she had enough money to pay.
What a racist!
Listen, put that money away.
There are people around...
He's lost
He can't remember his own name
Maybe he's got l.D.
Do you have an identity card?
No, not money, identification
- What about in his pockets?
I'm very confused...
I don't remember anything
Put your money in your pocket
Give it a minute,
you'll remember
- We can't just leave him!
- What can we do about him?
He's following us!
- He's not following us
-Yes, he is!
Don't worry
We'll take you to the police
station near our house
They'll know what to do
You know how many people
get lost? A whole lot, right?
There's a game on TV tonight
What team do you like?
- Okay, so you don't like soccer
- Stop it now!
Hey, can you give me a hand?
No, you stay in the car.
I'll get it
- Ma, Martina broke my Game Boy
- It's not true, Microbe did it
- Hurry up, don't stop to chat
- Hi, kids
- I'll help, Mama, give me one
- Martina, you're in my way
- Who's that man?
- I have no idea, he's lost
You know Filippo and how he can
complicate life
- Where did you find him?
- Downtown
- Just what you need
-Wait, don't pull me
Microbe,
stop yelling on the stairs!
- Where's Papa?
- Who was that man?
- I'm in no mood, Martina, go
I don't feel like watching TV
Detergent on the right,
all spray bottles on the left
This kid is getting
more obsessive than you are!
Order makes life easier
and doesn't make you waste time
You're the one
making me waste time
I told you, go inside
and watch television!
Martina, can you hear me?
I told you,
I don't feel like watching TV
Was she born that way
or did she grow into it?
I don't know
- Giovanna, he's undressing!
- Get away from there!
He's almost naked! Come before
he closes the shades
Will you stop that?
Okay, enough already!
Open up, Vittorio!
Leave Luciana alone!
I'll call the cops this time!
Open the door right now!
Busybody!
I told you, I don't want you
involved! Go away!
Mind your own f***ing business,
b*tch, or I'll call the cops!
I'll have you and that illegal
immigrant who fucks you arrested
Get out of here!
He was kidding
Giambo!
- Giambo!
- What is it?
Vittorio called me a b*tch
- He called you a dirty n*gger
- I'll take care of it
- He didn't say that!
- He thought it! Be quiet!
Open the door, a**hole!
- It's about time!
- The game started, right?
Papa's home! Hi, Papa!
Will you eat with us
or take your plate next door?
Good evening
- Filippo!
- I'll take him after the game
I don't believe it!
You brought him back here!?
There were too many people,
we waited an hour!
They want to know how I found
him and bullshit like that
- There, only one point!
- What an imbecile...
Eat
- Would you like some more?
- Yes
- Mama?
- Why are you awake?
Maybe Simone is dead
- Simone?
- The man in there!
- How do you know his name?
- He told me
He got his memory back
He told your daughter
that his name is Simone
He's asleep
from overexertion
Did he just tell you
or did you ask him?
-Why are you whispering?
- So I don't wake him up
If you let him sleep, will you
carry him out of here?
Sir? Simone?
You have to wake up.
We have to go, wake up
No, Filippo!
You're not leaving him here!
- He could be a maniac!
-You're exaggerating, Giovanna
He'll sleep near the kids!
You're crazier than he is!
Stop yelling
I'll yell when I want to!
Watch how he wakes up now!
Great, he made himself
comfortable now
- You resolve this situation!
- Look! You made him cry!
Stop that tone
or I'll smack you one!
And I'll report you to a cop!
Are you coming to bed?
He's sleeping.
I put Mama's blanket on him
Turn out the light,
I'm coming
- Go to sleep!
- I'd go to sleep,
- but this guy's awake!
- I don't feel like it
We sleep together once a week
and you don't feel like it?
No, leave it open. I don't
trust that man in there
- No, he'll hear us this way
- We'll do it with a silencer
- I really don't feel like it
- Come on, sure you do!
Good morning!
- Why didn't you wake me up?
- You were sleeping so nicely
Look Mama,
Simone made breakfast
- Where is he now?
- He's in there
He made a mess with the eggs,
sure he's better, right?
Have a crepe
- No, I don't want anything
- I helped him, you didn't!
Martina, go do your notebook
Yeah, and do Marco's too!
Remember, they
get out of school at two today
- What time do you start?
- At seven, like always
- Haven't they changed the shifts?
- Sure they have
It's just that they gave me
the night shift again
-You always get cheated
- I was the last guy hired
I have to hurry now,
I hate doing things in a rush!
He's in there
He's going, today
I'll take care of it
Today
Don't worry, I promise
What's wrong?
- Have you seen Chen Suilan?
- Why?
- Have you seen her?
- Sure, don't you see her too?
- That's not her
- What's the difference?
- What happened to Chen Siulan?
- She works two jobs,
her sister replaces her
and she has no working papers.
The bosses know this trick of using
the same name for relatives who come
- It doesn't work anymore!
- What are you, an SS officer?
- They asked me to investigate
- You tell them it's not your job
You do the accounting.
What does that mean?
-You count people?
- How can I say no to them?
With your mouth!
Hi!
Hi Mama,
look what we got
- What's all this?
- Wait or I'll crash
- What have you done?
- I'll explain later
- How about explaining now?
- Are you happy now?
- No, I'm playing!
- Let Marco play too
No, he doesn't know how to play
- I didn't buy it, okay?
-You took money from that man?
- No, he gave it to me
- You know what that's called?
- Exploiting the vulnerable
- Don't yell, he'll hear you!
He'll hear me?
Why the f*** didn't you
bring him to the police today?
