-Who are they?

-Let's go inside.

What do they want?

Don't you see it's the bank

that owes me money? Not me who owes them.

We're not from the bank. Give me money.

-Let's go inside.

-No, I want to know what they want.

It's okay.

Is this enough to pay your kid's keep

for a few days?

Here, champ.

We'll take care of you.

Okay...

Okay...

Let's go!

Outstanding! You were amazing!

-You were amazing! I'm speechless.

-Then drive.

If we don't stop, celebrate,

and have a drink, I'll abandon you here.

Got that?

You can go to Fantinari's for dinner.

They'll welcome you with open arms.

-You're such a bastard!

-Aren't you?

It would seem so.

Nice, eh?

Where are you going, girls?

Hi. Good evening.

-Where are you going?

-Inside.

What's your name?

-Ilda.

-Ilda?

Let's go.

-We have to go.

-Let's get a drink.

-No, they're waiting inside.

-Who?

-Our boyfriends.

-Your boyfriends?

-You have no taste in men.

-Bye. Have a nice evening.

You have a nice evening too.

Bye, Ilda!

Pretty, eh? You're having fun!

-You're having fun.

-I'm having fun?

You're not a sh*t. You're a little sh*t.

A little sh*t...

Want some real fun?

-Yes.

-Come on!

Go screw yourself!

F*** off!

Bruno, you've unloaded pallet A3

into the wrong storeroom! I did tell you!

Ren, quit buzzing round that cage.

Get a move on, please!

Move it!

How long did you stick it out

with this swine?

Too long.

Did he treat you like that too?

Wait a sec.

Are you afraid to dirty your hands?

Come on, hurry up.

What the f*** are you doing?

Guido, put me down, please!

Guido!

Stop f***ing laughing! Put me down! Guido!

Guido, f***!

Guido! Don't...

Guido, put me down!

You were right, boss,

I'm not cut out for this job.

Guido!

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Tell me, my son, how have you sinned?

I have argued with my wife

a couple of times.

-In front of the children?

-No! Never in front of the kids.

Anything else?

I stole a newspaper from a rest stop.

I don't even know why.

Yes. What else?

I treated a waitress badly.

-Did you lose your temper?

-No.

I enjoyed it. I didn't feel guilty.

The fact that you're telling me now

means you do feel guilty.

Nothing else?

Not that I remember.

If you forgive yourself, God too, through

his humble servant, will forgive you.

For penance, say one Our Father.

Got a light, please?

Remember to pay your debts.

-Go on, take it.

-No.

I know you need it.

Come on!

Thanks.

-See you tomorrow.

-Bye.

Show more respect! That's enough!

-Hey!

-Don't touch it!

-Leave me alone, boys.

-Professor, come with me. Leave him alone.

Look who's here!

You're coming up in the world.

You've forgotten your old friend.

I haven't. It's just...

things are a little complicated right now.

-Did you win today, Professor?

-Why, do I usually lose?

Thanks for the loan.

I can pay you back now.

What's this?

-Can't you accept a gift from a friend?

-I prefer to pay you back.

Have you changed? Guido?

Professor...

-Come on, come inside.

-Some other time, Professor.

-Here!

-What's wrong, Guido?

-How's work going?

-The warehouse job is fine.

Guido, why are you telling lies?

Last night, I finally realized

how you can do it.

How you can do what?

Be inside! The system, obviously!

To be inside the system... you have

to have a bit of the system inside you.

It's the only way.

Otherwise, they're just clumsy attempts.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Let's go somewhere.

We're in a good mood tonight.

-Come on! Have you eaten?

-No.

I'll buy you dinner.

-Now?

-Yes, now.

I can't. How can I?

What are you doing?

-Excuse me. We're about to close.

-Is it 2:
00 already?

-It's past 2:
00.

-I'll be off, then.

F***.

-There's no one left.

-No.

Let's go. I'll close the shutters.

-Let's go.

-Coming.

Thanks.

-We're eating here?

-Of course. Come on.

-Pick a table.

-Over there.

-Isn't it nice?

-Yes.

I closed early today.

Viktor deserves it

for postponing his return again.

-Yes.

-So you'll be staying longer?

-Do you mind?

-Very.

Sorry, the kitchen is closed.

-No! How come?

-I'm sorry.

All right.

Look, I wanted to bring this young lady

to a nice place.

Something simple will do.

-We're closed. I'm sorry.

-It's all right. Let's go.

-Even something cold will do.

-I can't. I'm sorry.

There's a pizzeria nearby.

A pizzeria? We don't want a pizzeria.

-Guido, that's enough. Let's go.

-Okay, I get it.

-Sir, you're embarrassing me.

-Don't be silly.

You're the waiter. Take this money,

and bring us something to eat.

What are you doing?

Rina.

-Where are you going?

-I'm seeing you in.

-Want to have a drink?

-The bar's closed.

-Come on, just one.

-What's this? Offering me a tip, too?

-Can't we take these off?

-Take them off? No.

Why not?

Because we look scarier like this.

So, which do you prefer?

-Metallic gray or red?

-I don't know.

You must have a preference.

-Metallic gray.

-Metallic gray?

You've no f***ing idea about cars.

Red's better. No?

-Here he is.

-What do we do?

What we do is...

wave and smile, okay?

See how scary we are?

Red's better, isn't it?

-Are you sure it's him?

-The file says "fish farm."

How much does he owe?

How much? Too much for him.

What if the bank's got it wrong?

You know what?

F*** the fish!

Fancy a game?

Are you any good? I bet you played

with dolls when you were a kid.

Or hopscotch, eh?

The first to score wins. Shall we play

for who buys lunch? Are you ready?

What the f***!

No, that's cheating!

You can pay this time.

I haven't seen you in ages.

I've been very busy.

You're a liar.

You won't get away with it that easily.

I never lie.

Who was that girl I saw?

What girl?

Don't act smart with me.

I saw her leave here the other day.

Who was she?

-An old friend.

-Really?

What was she doing here at that hour?

It's none of your business.

Go back in there. I have work to do.

I certainly won't!

You merely have to say your bank

has nothing to do with their debts now.

They can come and complain to us.

All right.

But, of course, I'll check it myself.

Goodbye, sir. Goodbye.

Hear that? They act like saints

because someone complains.

But when we buy debts off them,

they keep quiet.

Listen, put a bit of pressure

on our lady friend next time.

It will be a pleasure.

Tell me about the new guy.

-Rabaglia, right?

-Yes.

-What's he like?

-He's good. He's really good.

-Guido.

-Hi.

Welcome.

-Thanks.

-Thanks.

It's nice here.

Yes, it's one of the best areas in Rome.

The air's clean. It's behind the cemetery.

We don't discuss work at home.

Put that here.

Darling!

Hi.

-This is Guido!

-Guido, at last!

Nice to meet you.

Dorota. Franco talks about you

all the time.

Oh, please.

-Look what he's brought.

-Thank you.

-Give it to me!

-Kids!

Kids, come and say hello to Guido.

Kids!

Want some wine?

-Yes, please.

-Of course.

-Thanks.

-Here we are.

-Do you have kids?

-No.

-Are you married?

-No.

-She'll ask for your fingerprints next.
