La kryptonite nella borsa Page #3

---

moved back to Naples, to Vomero.

We live in my mother's home,

she died recently.

I'm sorry.

I hope to one day

open my own clinic.

I wanted to tell you a little about me

before you felt obliged to talk.

Next time you can talk

about anything you want...

it only seems fair since

I've told you so much about me.

- Why, are we done ?

-No.

But I don't want you to feel

obliged to speak, for today.

We can stop now

if you don't feel like talking.

Talking about what ?

Anything...

even the weather

It's nice out today.

Indeed, it's lovely.

It would be a good beach day.

You like the beach ?

-Yes.

- Do you go often ?

I wish, I just don't have the time.

When I was 15,

I went to Procida for a week.

My parents sent me to visit

some distant cousins.

How was it ?

I had a great time.

I swam all day.

At night we cooked fish...

on a rock,

like the fishermen had taught us.

I have a photo from that holiday...

I'm at Ciraccio beach,

wearing a one-piece bathing suit

and a cone-shaped hat,

goodness knows where I got it!

And I'm looking into the camera

with an expression as if saying:

if I can actually wear this darn hat,

who knows how far I'll get!

But instead...

Instead ?

Nothing.

- Where are we going ?

- To a very secret place.

Foxy, do you have a light ?

- Uncle Salvatore's not coming ?

- No, only women are allowed.

- What about me ?

- You don't count, you're a child.

- Are you Carmela ?

-No.

- You have a sister named Carmela ?

-No.

Let's go, Peppino.

Nobody in your family

is named Carmela ?

- An aunt.

-1 was right!

Women endure dual oppression.

They're oppressed by capital,

and furthermore, they...

meaning us...

are oppressed by domestic slavery,

suffocated by petty,

humiliating, tiresome,

degrading tasks.

The patriarchal family

imposes maternity as our duty...

Hop up.

Stay here, be quiet,

don't let anyone see you, promise ?

Can't I stay with Uncle Salvatore ?

No, he's busy.

Play the silence game, okay ?

Let's break the vicious circle

that restricts our freedom.

Let us become the masters

of our own days !

In order to rebel against tradition,

women burn their bras,

which are symbols

of a culture that limits us

and constrains us.

Perhaps you don't want to burn yours,

because it's new

so that would be wasteful,

then at least choose not to wear them,

put them in a trunk,

do what you want with them,

but don't wear them anymore !

Have you seen Gianni ?

Sorry, he's my nephew.

Here, I got you some snacks.

I don't have money to buy you juice.

- But what's our deal ?

-1 won't say a word to anyone.

It wasn't anything bad, okay ?

There's nothing wrong with it.

Those girls were naked

and were kissing I

One was looking

at herself with a mirror.

One had hair in between her legs

and chased me!

Shh ! Don't announce it

to all of Naples, for goodness sake !

Pretend you didn't see a thing

or we'll never take you out again.

Well ? How did it go ?

She kept yapping and yapping,

I had to give her some self knowledge.

Teacher, I need to use the bathroom.

Imposimato, go hit the books,

study your prepositions.

Penalty!

Hold on !

Gennaro, how'd you get into

my school's bathrooms ?

Superpowers. I came because

of what Fulvio Cacace did.

He broke my glasses, on purpose !

I know, Fulvio Cacace

is an evil person.

Make him fall down the stairs

so he gets hurt

and learns a lesson.

I can't interfere

in such a trite human matter.

- Then why did you come ?

-1 came to bring you...

..something more important

than a petty vendetta !

I came to say that you're right,

you do the right things.

- Isn't that enough ?

- Sure, it's enough.

Good, then this mission

is accomplished too.

Well, aren't you

going to say anything ?

Notice anything different ?

Not really.

Kid, you're too focused on yourself.

That's bad. Look!

I painted my nails.

Classy, isn't it ?

- I'm off, I have to meet Thor.

- The Mighty Thor ?

Yes. "Let's meet up, Gennaro !"

And then he just talks about his

magic hammer, he's obsessed.

Wait, Gennaro!

- Did he give you pills or drops ?

- Nothing.

So what exactly do you do

with this Matarrese ?

- We talk.

- That's it ?

Talk to me instead of going

all the way to Piazza Municipio !

I knew it!

These darn chicks are in the way.

- What's wrong, are you tense ?

- No, and if I were...

..I could go chitchat

with the doctor too.

Is Peppino with Assunta ?

It's cold, can't we go back home ?

Shut up ! Can't you see

that guy is looking at me ?

- Hello sir!

- Are you nuts ?

You scared him off.

Good morning.

Morning.

Is this your son ?

God no, no such thing !

He's my friend's son.

I look after him now and then,

as a favour to her...

as a good deed.

Peppino, go buy yourself an ice cream.

With what money ?

You said you're dirt poor.

- But it's raining.

- Go, build up some antibodies.

- I'm Arturo.

- "The boy from the bureau"!

Sorry, it's from a commercial...

- I've seen you here before.

- Really ?

Do you live around here too ?

No, I'm from the other side of town.

Why do you ask ?

Because I was hoping

we could meet again.

We can meet here again, right ?

Now I have a reason to see you again.

Peppino, have you noticed

that First and Third stink ?

No.

They stink...

Here we go, now let's get busy...

Dad, I think Third's scared.

That's normal, when you were a baby...

you'd go crazy

when we tried to bathe you !

I'd plunge your head under, you'd cry,

but then you liked it...

- Remember ?

-Yes.

One, two, three!

Put the other one in too.

Dad, do baby chicks know how to swim ?

Peppino, that's life.

Now you're in charge

of caring for the lone survivor,

understand ?

Yes.

Mum...

I'm off.

Aunt Titina is waiting for me outside.

- Can I come with you ?

- Sure...

but fix yourself up,

you can't go out like that.

No, I was just kidding.

Go on, Peppino.

Have fun.

You should've been in second gear.

I was, but the instructor said

I'd burn out the engine.

"Miss, are you going to change

gears or not ?"

These dirty old men

will use any excuse to touch a lady !

You should report that sleaze !

No Pasquale,

I'm not in the mood for that.

LSD is the last thing we need

after a heavy meal.

What's the name

of this driving school ?

We mustn't be ashamed of our bodies.

Have you seen Gianni ?

- Have you seen Gianni ?

-No!

Peppino!

Salvatore, have you seen Peppino ?

Who?

Have you seen my nephew ?

St. Anthony...

I swear I'll pick one man

and settle down for good...

- Please help me find Peppino !

- What happened ?

My nephew's disappeared.

That boy's full of issues already...

Relax, we'll find him.

If you don't get lost,

you'll never be found.

My name's Elio Brandi.

Titina Nardone.

Follow me.

Breathe!

He's dead...

Your aunt never changes!

She seemed so worried...

Now what'll happen ?

Will I die ?

I don't think so,

but I'm no acid expert.

- Are you seeing weird things ?

- Like what ?

Other superheroes ?
