The charger?

No, I have the earphones.

We need the charger,

my friend.

- Salah!

- Huh?

Do we have a charger

for this mp3'?

Uh-huh.

Sorry, my friend.

I couldn't find it.

We work.

You work.

They work.

Okay?

- Did you understand?

- Yeah.

Good.

Yes.

What's the difference

between "we are" and "we is"?

"We are" and...

Can I ask you a favor?

Sure.

Do you know someone

who can buy this?

Yeah, I think so.

Let's go.

Hey, Abas.

I don't want to go.

Let's do this,

and we'll come back.

It's very important.

Hmm?

I know it's important,

but I don't want to go!

Hey!

How are you?

All right!

- Good?

- Yes.

- Where's your brother?

- I don't know. Talk to me.

Go get him.

Talk to me.

My brother isn't here.

Talk to me!

I want to sell this.

The charger?

No, don't have it.

Go check if there's

one inside, Patrizia.

Leave me alone.

Go inside and get it!

- Is everything all right?

- Yeah, and you?

Yeah, me too.

You need anything else?

No, no.

Why don't you buy

this motorino?

Motorino?

It's a good one.

The motorino is good,

but I don't need it.

- You don't need it?

- No.

- I'll give you a good price.

- I don't need it.

- Okay. Give me a cigarette.

- I don't smoke.

You.

Give me a cigarette.

Gimme a light.

Thanks, friend.

You're welcome.

- A charger?

- Yes.

- I want to sell this.

- I don't want it.

- I don't need it.

- I don't need it either.

So what do we do?

Come on, I'll give it

to you for 5 euros.

- 5 euros?

- Yeah. It's a good price.

- I don't have any change.

- What can we do?

Both for 20 euros.

- 20 euros?

- Yes.

- It works?

- Yes. It works good.

- Is it real?

- Yes.

Good?

Mm-hmm.

All right.

- Okay!

- Bye.

Bye.

Good night.

What's wrong?

Hmm?

What is it?

Look around...

So?

What do you want to do?

You want us to go back?

The others made it here.

Just give it some time.

Aseta Seihon.

Burkina Faso?

50!

You see, I told you!

It's 40,000 CFA.

Mm.

I did well at work today.

This is just the beginning.

Twice as big...

And only five people sleep there!

Oh!

Oh, my nigga!

Ooh!

Oh!

I'm cool, and you?

Long time.

Ayiva, what's up?

Doing good.

- Oh, how's it going?

- How's it going?

How's it going?

Ayiva, you're welcome.

Life's a jungle.

- Oh, Rihanna is my sister!

- No!

Come on, come on,

come on

I want to give you this.

Forget it!

Don't worry about it.

Don't be in such a rush.

No, no. No.

You know me!

Look at her.

There's no way

I'm turning back

I love Rihanna, so, yeah,

she's my sister. Huh?

- Did you say your sister?

- Yeah.

But I don't think

she's your sister

the way Floby is my brother.

I don't like Floby.

Floby is a motherf***er guy.

Wait a minute.

Do you even know who is Floby?

I don't care about him.

Mades, let me see.

Rihanna is...

- Mades!

- What?

She doesn't know Floby.

The affliction

of the feeling

Leaves me wanting more

Oh, see, yeah, I want

to see the f***ing guy.

'Cause I may be bad

Who is this motherf***er?

Oh.

He's from Burkina.

Why are Burkina

men so sad, man?

I love the smell of it

Stop.

You see?

There it goes again.

Oh, oh.

But chains and

whips excite me

What do you want to do?

Can I have a Peroni?

- You need some Peroni?

- Yes!

I don't have some Peroni.

I have some drink.

Don't put your f***ing

mouth on my beer!

Look at my teeth.

Open yours!

Wha...

You stink!

Motherf***er guy.

Come on,

na, na, na, na

It's going to be all right.

F***ing nigga!

You look like one of those

boys in the streets,

in the train station.

I don't get it.

Look at your hair.

Look at your hair.

Look at your dressing.

You look like one of them!

Hold this.

'Cause I may be bad

I'll take her in there.

Motherf***er...

Excite me

Go and sit down there.

You sit.

Come one, come on,

come on

Aisha.

Quick.

I like it, like it,

come on

Come on, come on

I like it, like it

Regina.

Please come home soon.

M, M, M

S, S, S

And

M, M, M

Oh, Oh

Let's go.

We're leaving.

You bring to me

Oh, you turn me on

It's exactly what five

been yearning for

We're out of here.

We don't say good-bye?

And meet me

in my boudoir

Make my body

Say, ah, ah, ah

I like it, like it

'Cause I may be bad

But I'm perfectly

good at it

Sex in the air,

I don't care

I love the smell of it

Abas!

Gimme a drag.

Guys, how many times

do I have to tell you?

If you leave the stems

this long,

look what happens!

You rush, and the oranges

get destroyed,

and I can't sell them!

Understood?

Guys!

How many times

do I have to tell you!

Eh?

You f***ing Africans!

Because I hire you for a job,

and you can't even do it.

I'm not paying for these cases.

You understand?

I understand,

but it's his first day.

I don't care.

That's your problem, not mine.

Let me guess.

It's his first day too?

Eh?

Go f*** yourself!

Let's do this; I'll send them

both with you today,

because today, I don't go.

They go to unload,

both of them, you pay only one.

Fine.

Hey, you.

Do some work.

Come!

Let's finish this

and go home.

Let's finish,

and then we go.

I don't understand you.

This guy is a f***ing a**hole,

and you wanna work

twice as hard?

For this sh*t job'?

You think you know

better than me?

You were there earlier.

You saw everything, right?

So what don't

you understand?

I already have my money.

Stop acting like a child.

Man up.

Do this, and we leave.

It's a small job,

and we're off.

You don't look like a man.

You look like his b*tch.

The machine!

Turn off the machine!

We got him. We got him.

We got him.

We got him.

Relax.

Relax.

Sit.

Sit.

Are you okay?

Excuse me.

You feel like doing

another little job

before you go home?

Okay, I'll meet you

out front in ten minutes.

Huh?

Okay.

What's your name?

Ayiva, right?

Load these last cases.

I'm gonna go do something

in the house, okay?

Why did you do

that to me?

What language is that?

Italian.

Burkina.

Burkina Faso.

- French?

- Yes.

Go f*** yourself.

You made this mess,

and you tell me

to go f*** myself?

Why?

- Why not?

- Why not?

- That's all?

- Yes.

You're going to pick

up everything

and put it in the truck.

- English?

- Yes.

Do you like Italy?

Up your ass.

Good-bye!

Hmm?

Good evening.

What, nobody can answer?

Say, "Good evening, Mama. "

Speak up.

Remove your hats, please.

In Italy, we remove

our hats when we eat.

Take off this hat.

Good job.

No, I'm not going

to steal it.

Take off your hat too.

You've got nice hair.

Beautiful curly hair.

Oh, it fell.

Bye.

Eat.

Bon apptit.

You want to work, right?

I've always worked.

Then tomorrow,

you'll go back to work.

The same way?

For the same money?

Same thing.

Yes, you will do that.

Don't play professional.

You think you're

too good for this?

"Me, I don't work here... "

And how will you eat and sleep?

Anyway,

Momo is an a**hole.

I'm done working

for that guy.

Why?

Hello.

Attention, please.

First, we want to

thank Mama Africa

for allowing us to
