Go on!

Do you want to bite?

Get down here!

What's wrong?

Why did you come here?

Mum tried to kill herself.

She's still in hospital.

- It's blackmail.

- No, she wants to see you.

Of course.

Your hair's grown.

Are you well?

Are you happy?

I asked to be left alone.

So. How's it going, Paolo?

I've got a girlfriend now.

Stay calm.

Calm down, I'm here.

Do you know these glasses

were invented by the Eskimos?

These glasses! Why are you

in this sort of Pantheon?

With your dried fish, your gas lamp.

Who do you think you are?

- A wild man? A survivor?

- So?

- I do as I want.

- What do you want?

Here.

- Are you hungry?

- Yes, a bit.

Self service!

The last story you drew

was good.

Thanks. I'm working, as you can see.

And you get the money you need.

Eat up.

So, you're alright then?

Yes, but what about your wife?

You'll have to decide one day.

Come here.

If I took you with me,

I'd never come back.

Let me come with you.

No.

You'll wait here for me.

You'll look after the house.

I'll come back.

Take me with you, Giorgio!

- Don't you know where your mum is?

- I get confused.

All the rooms are the same.

Are you sure it's this one?

She's sleeping.

Maybe we should let her sleep.

Yes.

Have you seen Les Halles?

It's the only 19th Century building

that Paris should have preserved!

They're destroying it before our eyes.

Nice girl!

That's how inconsistent our world is.

Cities get changed

because the citizens change.

They've destroyed 4 blocks already.

They're keeping one

and moving it elsewhere.

The unbelievable thing...

...was the cultural revolution

of Les Halles.

And now the depression

against the cultural pollution!

Before, the belly of Paris

was exploding.

Do you remember when we ate

in that street?

Oysters... Are you listening?

Are you a Good Samaritan?

He might have rabies!

Come back to reality.

Take table-tennis, the goods,

acupuncture...

they bore me.

The interesting thing

is the result of the trip to China.

What will take place afterwards.

See the black girl? Nice, huh?

Once, the intellectual stayed still

and history passed before his eyes.

Now he's the one that's moving.

She looks like your Spartacus' lover.

Spartacus' lover is called Liza.

Why are you shouting?

It's too noisy here.

I don't know.

I'm starting to speak like a deaf man.

Do you want to play the noble savage?

Your island's noisy too.

The waves, the seagulls...

Even silence is noisy.

If I grew a moustache,

it'd be wet all the time...

...from wine...

- Right!

It should be thicker.

We've known each other many years.

- Aren't you thirsty?

- No.

- Aren't you drinking?

- No.

Have you got another story in mind?

Maybe.

Are you going to stay or go?

I don't know, I don't want to decide.

Who does?

- You sorted out your problem well.

- Meaning?

That I drink?

Dear sir, what is happiness?

Happiness is knowing Krishna,

the fountain of pleasure,

the ocean of pleasure.

By singing his name,

you'll gain happiness.

- You'll be free from suffering.

- Some cake?

The best things

life gives us are gifts.

Us, the sun, the food

that the land gives us are gifts.

God's love, Krishna,

is the greatest gift.

Here you are.

I made it as you requested.

I hope you like it.

- It's very good.

- Thank you.

Aren't you coming to eat?

I don't like paella.

I've got my carrots.

Are you hungry?

Your napkin.

- Is the paella good?

- Yes, it is.

So, your carrots?

- Enjoy your meal, mum and dad.

- Enjoy your meal, Valeria.

Good girl.

Has invited us on Wednesday.

- Is that alright for you?

- Yes.

Come here!

Valeria, you must eat your carrots!

Sit down, Maria will get it.

Eat up.

Eat the carrots. Both of you.

- Yes?

- I've come to see George.

The family's eating.

Can't you wait?

- No.

- What?

Sir, there's a lady to see you.

A lady who's in a hurry!

- Where's the cat?

- It ran away.

Valeria, is that nice?

I don't know. I only eat carrots,

but I think so.

Eat up.

Would you like some wine?

No wine, just milk.

I'll get it.

Can I have some wine?

Thanks.

- Do you live in Paris, miss?

- No!

Giorgio,

can you give me a cigarette, please?

Of course.

Thanks.

- That's Melampo's collar!

- It's mine!

Really?

I'll read a bit, then I'll sleep.

As you're not asking me anything,

I'll speak.

- If you like.

- You don't usually speak.

- You just judge me!

- Not here, Giorgio.

- Goodnight, mum.

- Goodnight, Valeria.

I saw a girl who was quite pretty,

a bit scruffy and very rude.

I've tried explaining,

but you don't want to understand.

I do what I can.

Why don't you ever get angry?

- I should get angry?

- Yes, it's be more honest.

I don't get angry

because we're friends.

- I try and understand.

- We're not friends.

We're...

Will you leave your wrists alone?

Please.

It gets on my nerves.

It gets on your nerves?

What do you want from me?

You don't get angry, that's true.

But you try to commit suicide!

Then when I speak to you,

you stay calm.

Full of understanding!

That's the worst kind

of emotional blackmail!

You don't know

what's going on between us.

Yes, she's not a woman.

She's a dog who follows her owner.

- I understand, you see?

- Don't play dumb.

I never said she was a dog.

- I understand perfectly.

- You'd like to, but you can't.

You've got no imagination!

And you don't believe me.

Yes, I believe you!

It's useless talking to you.

It's completely useless.

Come here!

Come here!

Giorgio!

Giorgio, come here!

- Come here!

- No, don't be like that.

If you go with b*tches,

you should like it!

Come here.

Let's go.

It's late February '71 B.C.

It's a cold night. The mountains

are covered with snow.

Spartacus and some of his men...

...win against Crasso

and march towards Brindisi.

Crasso immediately goes after him...

...because he's scared

that Spartacus will attack Rome.

But soon he notices

that Spartacus' march...

...is just a diversion manoeuvre.

Careful!

No rebel had ever

acted like Spartacus.

He was already aware of his class.

He knew the slaves

had to gain their own freedom.

Spartacus was a revolutionary.

Leave the fish!

You have to listen

because my dog listened to me!

Got that?

Good. Got that, Liza'?

Carlo Marx himself said that Spartacus...

...was the only representative

of ancient proletarianism.

The sea is taking the boat away!

The boat's gone.

The sea's taken it away.

What now?

Go away!

I'll tell you one more time!

I don't want you to stay here!

There's no reason.

I chose to live here with my dog...

...and maybe even to die here.

But I have my reasons to do so,

I'm mad!

You're not!

You're sick! Look at yourself!

Go on, put your white dress on

and go to the beach.

Someone will see you

and take you somewhere.

You chose this island and me.

Two things which are too hard for you.

Liza, come here!

Why are you hiding?

I wanted to be on my own.

Where's the meat?

You've eaten it all!

It's damp,

but the wall is sturdy!
