the constant heat of a fire

could destroy me,

or maybe not.

I'm 1,86 meters tall,

a considerable height for the 1780s,

when I was a young mortal.

I'm not bad-looking now.

I have thick

shoulder-length blond hair,

a bit curly, it looks white

in fluorescent light. "

Lorenzo'?

F***, you scared me!

What do you want'?

- Turn that damn flashlight off,

let me in. - No. - Let me in.

- Why'?

- I need somewhere to sleep.

- Lower your voice. - Will you let

me in'? - No! - Why'?

This is my place, I don't want you

to make any trouble, it's dangerous!

- Go somewhere else.

- Let me in.

I've got nowhere else to go. There's

no room for you, it's too small.

Let me in or I'll start shouting

and wake up the whole block!

Olly.

Olivia! Come on.

Hurry up!

Come on! They'll see us!

Move it.

Come on.

It's so hot in here.

We're near the boiler.

The heating pipes run through here.

Why are you in here'?

I was supposed to go on a

skiing trip, but didn't feel like it.

Couldn't you stay at home'?

No, if I didn't go

it would have been a total mess.

My mom would've been disappointed

and she'd have stressed me out.

It's best they all think

I'm in the mountains.

- How long will you stay here'?

- Till Saturday.

- Got any beer'? - No, there's fruit

juice over there. - There?

Look how organized you are!

All your snacks are in order, tidy.

You bought all this junk because

they don't let you eat it at home'?

The only thing missing

is a "Royal with cheese".

- Where were you going skiing?

- Borca di Cadore.

- Okay but what is it'?

- Don't move it, you'll upset them!

- What is it'?

- An ant nest.

You'd rather stay in a basement

watching ants

than go skiing'?

Yes, I'm better off by myself.

- You might be right about that.

- Whose stuff is this?

- Countess Nunziante's.

- Who the f***'s she'?

She lived in our apartment before us.

Dad bought the house and

let her stay there till she died.

He did it to help her,

she had no money left.

I see, a bare ownership deal.

- You know what that is'?

- No.

Imagine you're old, poor

and have no one left.

But you have a beautiful house.

You sell your house cheaply

but you still live there

and when you die, the house and

your things go to whoever bought it.

So to get the house,

he had to hope she'd die soon.

- Right.

- That's not nice.

No, it sucks.

Well, I'm going to get some sleep.

I traveled all day yesterday,

I'm dead tired.

- Where were you coming from'?

- From my house, Catania.

Does your mom still have

the shoe shop in Catania'?

Excuse me young man, is there

a restroom down here?

Of course.

Where did you go'?

- Dancing. - Where'?

- Somewhere outside Rome.

Oh, my God!

Water.

Anyway, I knew

about the bare ownership deal.

I couldn't tell you

but Dad and I killed the Countess.

By poisoned chocolate.

I'm cold.

I'm here to make sure

no one finds the body

and to wait for it to turn to dust.

Understand'? Do you understand'?

- What's wrong'?

- My bones hurt.

You're not going to give me the flu,

are you'?

When you go,

there's a pharmacy in the square.

You're going, right'? You promised.

Remember you promised you'd go!

Where are you'? Call me. Mom.

When will I see you'?

Not before, then'?

It's just that I have

nowhere to stay here.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

What'?

No, I swear, I'm just a little tired.

I wrote to you, I'm clean.

Marco. Marco, listen,

I so want to see you.

Okay my love,

I'll wait for you to call me.

lamb!-

- No, you're leaving now.

- Spying on me, you little sh*t?

I'll do whatever I like.

This is my place.

Give me a break.

What do you want '? Look at yourself.

Standing there,

pointing your finger at me...

"No, you're leaving now!"

Did you learn that from Dad'?

Ordering people around'? No, there's

something wrong with you inside.

I'm not hurting anyone.

Leave me alone.

If you hide in a hole,

minding your own business

that doesn't mean

you're better than other people.

That's too easy.

It's mommy.

Hi.

I didn't have time to call you.

What do you think we're doing?

We're skiing!

No, I told you the teacher's

not here I You can't talk to her!

- I'm here, is that your mom, Cuni'?

- Yes.

Mrs. Cuni, how are you'?

No, it's Miss Stefanelli,

I teach Science to another class.

Everything is fine, yes.

He's given us a lesson,

your son's a little champion.

Of course, would you like my number'?

Okay. 3- 4-8

Call me so I can save yours.

Do you want to speak to Lorenzo'?

I'll say goodbye for you.

Good bye.

I'll see you soon.

Wow, you really laid it on her!

Arianna Cuni.

Saved forever.

So you won't bug me again.

Or I'll show you

who Miss Stefanelli is,

she'll tell mom:
"Go to the basement

and see your little champion. "

How gross.

I threw up all over myself.

Sh*t.

Help me.

- What's wrong'?

- Cold turkey.

- What'? - Didn't they tell you'?

- What'?

- That I'm a junkie, a shitty addict.

- No...

Of course, they're protecting you.

They don't tell you the bad stuff.

Please, leave me alone.

Forget about me.

Olivia'?

Olivia'?

Go away.

Go away.

Get out.

Close that f***in' door!

"He would watch the scene

and learn. That intimacy... "

I know you hate me.

Don't worry, I'm going soon,

you won't see me anymore.

- Back to Catania'? - No, I'm going

to go live in the country.

- When'?

- In a few days.

A friend of mine is taking me

to a farm where there are horses.

I was just dreaming about it.

Have you ever been to see horses?

- No.

- Me neither.

But...

I have to go through cold turkey

and be clean before I see him.

Do you have to do it here'?

I'm not exactly dying

to be in this craphole.

But I don't know where else to go.

- What do you take'? Cocaine?

- No, heroin.

- Is it expensive?

- Less now, but it still is.

- Where do you get the money'?

- Your dad sends it to me every month.

To get over his guilt.

- What guilt'?

- Ask him.

Because he left

your mother for mine'?

You really don't know anything!

Your dad's never given a sh*t

about me and my mom.

I guess we're

not elegant enough for him,

she sells shoes!

- That's not true, Dad's not like

that. - Isn't he'? How old are you'?

- 14, you know that.

- What planet are you from'?

Can't you see

what shits your parents are,

they don't even realize

they have a psycho son

who reads upside down'?

Psychopath.

"I made that scene

more cruel and playful... "

You'll get a rush of blood

to your head.

"Then the night

lost its normal dimension.

In fact, it remains

one of the longest nights... "

- I don't like this dead zebra.

- Neither do I.

Poor thing.

Can we take it away'?

I know, but the supervisor

had a few problems.

Quiet, please, be quiet!

Quiet, or they' find us!

I have things to do,

I can't wait all morning.

I'll tell the surveyor to call you.

I'm out of sleeping pills.

Did you hear me'?

I'm out of sleeping pills!

Stop! I don't give a sh*t

if you're sick.

You make me puke.
