Rinaldi nods his head yes. Tony writes 12000 on the
blackboard.
RINALDI:
I think I will get back in Messina this
summer... It's too long I haven't been
there.
TONY:
You're right, son. You must care the
links with your family, always. It's the
only important thing in the world.
RINALDI:
...Yeah.
He says "yes" to the phrase and to the deal. Emilio delivers
two grappas. Tony gives him the photo and the blackboard. The
two drink.
TONY:
Salute.
RINALDI:
Salute.

NEW APARTMENT - DECREPIT
Leon prepares his tools. Mathilda sits on the windowsill.
Leon wears his overcoat.
MATHILDA (sulky)
...I preferred the hotel.
LEON:
Mathilda, hadn't you told that bullshit
to the receptionist, we'd still be in the
hotel, I make you notice.
MATHILDA:
That wasn't bullshit, I said we love
each other.
LEON:
Yeah!... Anyway, I don't like hotels.
Too much people, everyone's got the
key... I don't like it.
Mathilda gets even sulkier.
LEON:
...I prefer apartments... Furthermore,
there are always kids in a building.
What about getting some friends?
MATHILDA:
Friends? You're crazy! In my building,
before, they just cared drugs all day and
you couldn't get one, or they just cared
video games and you couldn't get one, no
more.
LEON:
You're darkening the picture, aren't
you?
MATHILDA:
A little...
LEON:
Is there a normal 13 or 14 year old boy?
MATHILDA:
Yeah... There's a lot on TV.
Leon is slightly annoyed by Mathilda's lack of cooperation.
LEON:
Well, then watch television!
He switches on.
LEON:
...I won't be long, Mathilda, OK?
MATHILDA (kind)
Why don't you take me with you?
LEON:
It's too big.
MATHILDA:
Yeah... I'm just good for left-overs!
LEON(kind)
Let me alone for a while, Mathilda, OK?
My life changed since I met you, you
know? ...I have to find back myself a
little... And, last time, you really
didn't pass... And I wouldn't enjoy
seeing you explode against a wall...
MATHILDA:
Risky business, isn't it?
LEON:
...You're young, Mathilda... You still
have a chance to get out. You can't give
up this chance. You have to protect it.
There's a lot of things to do in life, a
lot of other jobs...
MATHILDA:
There are just two things I'm interested
in:
love and death. For the moment, Ihave none of the two!
Leon tries to reply, vainly.
LEON:
Mathilda... There's equally a lot of
other things!
MATHILDA:
Huh, really? What? Come on, I'm waiting!
Leon searches.
LEON:
...Nothing, I tell you! Everything else
reminds me a big yogurt: warm and rancid.
Leon laughs, she doesn't.
LEON:
No, excuse me... It's the yogurt that
made me laugh.
MATHILDA:
You've just to love me and I'll be the
happiest woman around.
LEON:
Yeah, I know! But for the moment you're
not yet a woman. So, be patient... I need
time... And you too. You have to grow up.
MATHILDA:
I don't grow up any more. I just get
older.
Leon sighs. He takes his case and gets out.
LEON:
I won't be long. Two days at most,
promised.
He closes the door. Mathilda remains sad, at her window.

MATHILDA'S BORED
SERIES OF SHORT SEQUENCES
- She's on the windowsill and looks at the flowing water that
will temporarily clean the city.
She smokes a cigarette.
She assembles and disassembles a Uzi, last model.
She watches television, falls on her head, embedded in her
soft chair. She eventually switches off, at this extent the
program bored her.
She finishes her syrup peaches, while listening to music.
She shoots some self-portraits by her Polaroid, mandatory
grimace.

NO MORE RAIN - SUN RAYS OVER THE CITY
Mathilda is at a public phone.
MATHILDA:
...Good day, Madam, may I talk with
Jenny, please?
JENNY:
Yes?
MATHILDA (smiling)
...It's Mathilda.
JENNY:
HEY!! But what did you do?! What
happened?? It's months you've
disappeared. Everyone thinks you got
killed, at school, above all since some
FBI guys got to school and asked a lot of
questions about you!
MATHILDA (surprised and proud)
Huh?... Did they ask you any questions?
JENNY:
Yeah, pal! And I didn't say anything, I
said I don't know you. But do you know
what did she say, that stupid Raphaella?
MATHILDA:
No?
JENNY:
She told them you wanted her things and
that she wasn't surprised police looked
for you! Can you believe it?!
MATHILDA:
A**hole. But she won't miss anything,
that. You'll see.
JENNY:
Good, what are you going to do? Do you
come back?
MATHILDA:
No... I can't... I got tired. I want to
live my way.
JENNY (surprised)
...Did you leave alone?
MATHILDA (smiling)
...No.
JENNY:
(shouting)
YEAH! I was sure! Come on, tell me! I
know him?
